Yellow Summer.
Bulb nearly spherical, but tapering slightly towards the tap-root, which is very slender. It grows large,—to full four inches in diameter, when old; but should be eaten young, when about an inch in diameter. The flesh is mild, crisp, solid, and quite white. The skin is of a yellowish-brown color; and the leaves grow long and upright, with green footstalks.
Half early, and well adapted for summer cultivation.

White Italian. Naples. White Transparent.
Root long and slender, nearly of the size and form of the Long Scarlet; skin white,—when exposed to the light, tinged with green; flesh white, crisp, and mild.
It is deserving of cultivation, not only on account of its excellent qualities, but as forming an agreeable contrast at table when served with the red varieties.
