The Deptford, Syn. Brown Deptford of Burr is described as " Very similar 
to, if not identical with the Strasburg." 
Bulb usually more or less flattened, though sometimes globular; 
brown, inclining somewhat toward red, second coat pale reddish 
brown, much tinged with green, inner coats white except near the 
neck, where they are tinted with green; well developed samples 3 in. 
diameter, and fully 2 in. through the axis; neck and root circle small; 
bulb very firm, and an excellent keeper; — medium in season; — very 
productive. 
The bulb of this variety bears a close resemblance to the more flat- 
tened forms of the Yellow Danvers, but is usually of smaller size. It 
is very hardy, and is thought one of the best for winter production at 
the South; much used for the production of sets.
