PARROTS— OONTINUED
Improved Long Orange
The most popular of the older sorts for farm use on
mellow soil. An improvement obtained by years of
careful selection of the best formed and deepest col-
ored roots of the old Long Orange. Roots compar-
atively shorter than the Long Orange, and smoother,
but so uniform and true that the bulk of the crop wil
be greater.

GUERANDE, OR OX HEART...

comparatively short, but often reach a diameter of
seven inches, terminating abruptly in a small tap
