Tasty white long roots with sweet flavor; harvest after frost; a standard in all fall gardens. A popular variety in the 1820's with very long roots.

Needs very deep, rich, loose soil for best results, but will tolerate average garden soil. In cold-winter climates sow in earliest spring, a half-inch deep. Space plants several inches apart in all directions. Dig in the fall after a few frosts have sweetened the roots. In mild-winter climates, sow in fall for early spring harvest.
