This is a distinct improvement over the well-known Chantenay, especially in color, 
texture, and quality of flesh and has been accepted with much enthusiasm particularly 
by canners. Roots deep reddish-orange; 51%2—6 in. long, 2% in. thick at the 
shoulder, tapered, stump-rooted; core reddish-orange, almost the same color as the 
flesh and so inconspicuous as to make the term coreless seem appropriate; flesh 
fine grained and tender; of sweet, delicate flavor.
