C. Root red. 
No. 36. BECKERT'S CHARTIER, Hen., '8(5. 
Syn. Beckerfs Improved Chartier, Thor., '85: Improved GftarfeyThor., 
'86 : Mammoth Long Rose?, Foote, *86. 
Root long conical, growing about 1 in. above ground; crimson at the 
top, gradually shading to white toward the tap-root; well developed 
samples 1\ in. in diameter, 10 in. long; surface somewhat striate, the 
striae white; neck small; — foliage very abundant, pale green, half 
erect; leaf-segments rather numerous, often a little folded on the mid- 
rib, margin irregularly crenate; — flesh white, tender, mild. 
Rather early, of excellent quality, and remains in eating order 
longer than most other varieties. Even the largest roots do not 
become pithy; but remain crisp and tender throughout. 
Introduced in 1885. 
Correctly figured in Gar. for Profit (ed. 1887), p. 276. 
No. 37. BOSTON LONG SCARLET, Greg., '85, '86. 
A strain of Long Scarlet growing rather longer than the ordinary 
variety; full grown samples 10 in. long, | to | in. in diameter. 
No. 38. LONG SALMON, Burr; Thor., '85. 
Syn. Long Scarlet, VEG. GAR. ; Vil. : Long Scarlet Salmon, Burr ; 
Vil., '84: Salmon, Vil. : Salmon-Colored, Veg. Gar. : Fr., Radis roselongue 
ou saumonee, VIL., '84: Ger., Lange rosenrothe Radies, Vil. : Ital., Ramo- 
laccio rosso, Vil. 
Very closely resembles the Long Scarlet, but differs from it in hav- 
ing the root longer, and paler in color. Vilmorin states also as a 
distinguishing character that the flesh is tinted with pink or lilac, 
a difference which did not appear at the Station. In their qualities 
the two are practically identical. 
Unfortunately, the name Long Scarlet, adopted for this radish in the 
Vegetable Garden and given as a synonym of it in Les plant es 
potageres must tend greatly to confuse the two varieties. 
Correctly figured in Les pi. pot., p. 525: Veg. Gar., p. 590.
