Cliantenay—The market gardener's and trucker's favor- ite. It is an early, very productive, half-long, stump- rooted variety, smooth-skinned, fine in appearance and entirely coreless. The shoulder is unusually thick and the root tapers slightly down towards the blunt point so that it is pulled very easily. The color is a rich orange and the texture and quality are unsurpassed.
