BEAUREGARD was released by Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station. It is a poor plant producer. The roots have a rose-colored skin and orange flesh. The roots do not become round in heavier soils or elongated in lighter soils. Yield is very good and it stores well. The variety is resistant to white grub and Streptomyces soil rot and is susceptible to root-knot nematode. It normally matures in 105-110 days.

CAROLINA RUBY was released by North Carolina Agricultural Research Service. It is an excellent plant producer, has high levels of resistance to Fusarium wilt, moderate resistance to soil rot but is susceptible to root-knot nematode. Yield is equal to or better than Jewel. Roots are bright red in color with very smooth skin, flesh is deep orange, and roots are fusiform and somewhat blocky. The leaves are heart shaped and green. Vines and petioles are green with light purple at the apex of the petiole. It stores well with few rots and little weight loss in storage. Carolina Ruby matures in 95 - 100 days.

COVINGTON was released by North Carolina Agricultural Research Service in 2005. The leaves are green and range from heart-shaped to slightly lobed. The roots are rose colored with an orange flesh. Shapes are blocky to fusiform with good size uniformity. The clone is resistant to Fusarium wilt and moderately resistant to Streptomyces soil rot (pox) and the southern root-knot nematode. Yields are high with a good packout of No. 1 grade roots. Eating quality is very good. Sprout production is moderate but about 10 days later than Beauregard. Harvest is 105-115 days after planting.

GRAND ASIA is a purple skinned, cream-fleshed clone suitable for Asian and Hispanic markets. It has a high dry-matter content that cooks up dry and moderately sweet, not as sweet as the ‘Japanese’ cultivar. It is similar in appearance and performance to ‘Japanese’, except that it is not as susceptible to russet crack. It is resistant to fusarium wilt. It is susceptible to Streptomyces soil rot (pox) and the southern-root knot nematode. Yield is good when compared to similar varieties. Harvest is 120 days after planting.

MURASAKI was developed by the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment State to provide a specialty-type, white-flesh variety. It has good culinary characteristics and does not require any additional baking time in comparison to dessert-type cultivars. The leaves are light to dark green with an obtuse or emarginated leaf apex and cordate leaf base. The roots are elliptical, and are characterized by their white flesh, high dry matter, and purple skin. Murasaki is resistant to southern root-knot nematode and Fusarium root rot, but tests also show that it does not perform well if planted late. Good yields are normally harvested in approximately 90-100 days.

O'HENRY is a white-skinned, cream-fleshed variant of Beauregard. Its maturity and disease resistance is the same as Beauregard. The leaves are green and mainly heart shaped. Vines and petioles are green with light purple at the apex of the petiole and at leaf axil. Eating quality is similar to Beauregard, though the flesh is a little drier, but not as dry as some of the old white varieties.
