It is somewhat the shape of a Stump-rooted Carrot, 3 (inches thick at the top. and a foot long; about one-half this length is above ground and light green in color. Below ground is a light creamy yellow. When cooked it is a light cream color very tender and delicate in flavor, just the quality of a very fine early flat turnip when at its best. We are very much pleased with it and recommend it highly. Pkt., 10c: oz.,30c
