DANVERS HALF-LONG ORANGE.--This is claimed to have the greatest bulk
with the shortest length of root, and is a remarkably heavy cropper.
The root is of a rich, dark orange color, and grows very smooth and
succeeds in all soils. It is quite a favorite market sort.
SHORT HORN.--The flesh of this variety is very fine grained,
of deep orange color and superior quality. The roots do not penetrate
deeply, and the top is small, which allows of their being planted quite
closely.
