and great productiveness.

CHIVAS'S ORANGE JELLY. _Thomp._

Bulb of a handsome, round form, with a small top; the skin is pale
orange; and the flesh yellow, juicy, sweet, and tender. It has very
little fibre; so that, when boiled, it almost acquires the consistence
of a jelly. It originated in Cheshire, Eng.

COW-HORN.

Long Early White Vertus. _Vil._

[Illustration: Cow-horn Turnip.]

Root produced much above ground, nearly cylindrical, rounded at the end,
ten or twelve inches in length, nearly three inches in diameter, and
weighing from one and a half to two pounds. The skin is smooth and
shining,--white below the surface of the ground, and green at the top;
the flesh is white, tender, and sugary. Early, very productive, and
remarkable for its regular form and good quality. As a field-turnip, it
is one of the best; and, when pulled young, good for table use. During
winter, the roots often become dry and spongy.

DALES'S HYBRID. _Law._

This variety is of English origin, and is said to be a hybrid from the
Green-top Swede and the common White Globe. Its prevailing traits are,
however, those of the White Globe; inasmuch as its roots are similar in
form and texture.

Foliage strong and luxuriant; root large, oblong, pale yellow; the upper
surface light green; neck and tap-root small. The form of the bulb,
though generally oblong, is sometimes nearly globular; but its more
material characteristics, large size, and luxuriance of growth, are
uniformly the same. Its reputation as a turnip of very superior quality
has not been sustained in this country.

EARLY FLAT DUTCH.

Early White Dutch. White Dutch.

An old and well-known early garden variety; bulb round, very much
flattened, and produced mostly within the earth; skin white, somewhat
washed with green at the insertion of the leaves, which are of medium
size. Before the bulb has attained its full dimensions, the flesh is
fine-grained, tender, and sweet; but when ripe, especially in dry
seasons, it often becomes spongy and juiceless: in which condition, it
is of no value for the table; and, even for stock, is comparatively
worthless. Average specimens measure about four inches in diameter, and
two inches and a half in depth.

EARLY YELLOW DUTCH.

Yellow Dutch.

This variety has a small, globular root, of a pale-yellow color
throughout. It somewhat resembles the Yellow Malta, and is a good garden
variety. The portion of the bulb above ground
