Dagger F1
- Dagger has very slender roots of a narrow obtriangular shape.
- Smooth white skin with high crowns make for relatively easy cleaning.
- Sown at higher densities Dagger will produce large quantities of regular uniform roots ideal for the pre-pack market demands.
- Sown at lower densities it will fill well down the root producing heavy yields.
- In terms of root shape, Dagger could be described as being the parsnip nearest to looking like a large traditional carrot.
- Ideally sown in the spring and lifted before the turn of the year.

White Spear
- White Spear has very white smooth skin and bulks extremely rapidly in the spring from an early sowing.
- Its root shape is obovate.
- It is best lifted in the early summer months.
- Later sowings will hold into the autumn but the growing period to harvest suitability is always short.
- White Spear will continue to grow past the ideal market size and can produce enormous roots if allowed to grow on.
