Rose-colored Chinese. Vil.
Scarlet Chinese Winter.
Bulb rather elongated, somewhat cylindrical, contracted abruptly to a long, slender tap-root; size full medium,—average specimens measuring about five inches in length, and two inches in diameter at the broadest part; skin comparatively fine, and of a bright rose-color; flesh firm, and rather piquant; leaves large,—the leaf-stems washed with rose-red. Season between that of the Gray Summer and that of the Black Spanish.
Winter White Spanish.
Autumn White. Blanc d'Augsbourg. Vil.
Root somewhat fusiform, retaining its diameter for two-thirds the length, sharply conical at the base, and, when well grown, measuring seven or eight inches in length by nearly three inches in its fullest diameter; skin white, slightly wrinkled, sometimes tinged with purple where exposed to the sun; flesh white, solid, and pungent, though milder than that of the Black Spanish. It succeeds best, and is of the best quality, when grown in light sandy soil. Season intermediate.
