size, it being nearly twice as large as any other, and the flesh was crisp 

 and tender, 



Deep Scarlet Olive Shaped and Rose Olive Shaped differ from the 

 group above described in having roots oval in form, and longer. They are 

 as early, and in bunching will pack more closely than the turnip rooted 

 radishes. 



French Breakfast produces roots that are two inches or more long, 

 obovate in form, bright red in color, with lower part white. It is quick 

 maturing, attractive in appearance, and good in quality. Quite generally 

 grown as a forcing sort. 



Golden Globe and White Olive Shaped are not largely grown because of 

 their color. 



Long Brightest Scarlet. This sort is almost as quick growing as the 

 smaller sorts, is as attractive in appearance and as good in quality, while 

 the largely increased size is a point of great superiority. 



All the varieties of radish were sown in the open ground May 12. The 

 following table gives the date of maturity of the several sorts grown.

Unless the soil where radishes are grown is sandy and rich, the roots 

 grow too slowly and become tough and wormy. For this reason some of 

 the smaller growing sorts described among the forcing varieties would give 

 better satisfaction to plant in the home garden. The seed can be sown 

 every week or ten days and a good succession of table radishes obtained 

 throughout the season.
