Early Long Scarlet, from Ferry, a loii<j', slender, scarlct-roolcd .sort of desirable 

 quality, that matures quickly. 



Earliest Snow White Ice, received from Salzer. is a small, turnip-shaped, white 

 radish of no special value. It is apt to be tough, strong and pithy. 



Half Long Deep Scarlet and Long Brightest Scarlet, from Ferry, are well known 

 standard sorts. They are among the best garden sorts, very attractive and of fine 

 quality. The Half Long matures first, hence it is preferable for forcing, but the 

 quality is no better. 



Xo. 8, sent out by oMills, is a large, coarse, turnip-shaped sort, having a dark 

 cardinal red color. The Hesh is white, rather coarse, strong, and becomes pithy soon 

 after reaching edible size. Often streaked with red. It has a peculiar sweetish flavor, 

 but it is quite strong. 



Number 170 was received from Buekbce. The leaves arc small and few; root 

 turnip-shaped: color bright golden yellow. The lle.sh is verj' white, tender, mild and 

 quite desirable, but the color is against it as a leading sort. It lias a thick skin that 

 peels readily. 



Number 219, also from Buckbee, is a thick, scarlet, turnip-rooted sort. The flesh 

 is white, streaked with red, matures quick, and is often pithy, coarse and dry. 



Osaka was received from Burpee. The leaves are very abundant, coarse and spread- 

 ing; the roots are evenly tapered, white, crisp and rather strong. This variety cannot 

 be grown close enough to be profitable. 



Scarlet Ball, Livingston. A large turnip-rooted sort. The skin is bright scarlet; 

 flesh white, tender, and of a pleasant flavor. 



Scarlet Conical, from Rawson. A small-topped, turnip-rooted sort, desirable for 

 forcing. It has a bright scarlet color and grows quickly. 



Snowball. Livingston, is a white, turnip-rooted varietj'. The tops are too large for 

 but tlie roots are firm, crisp, mild fla\ored, and quite desirable for out-door 



forcing 



Triumph, Vick, is a small-topped, red and white 

 novelty, and has no especial value. 



Wliite Strasburg, from D. ]\I. Ferry & Co 



globe-rooted 



sort. 



Simply a 

 is one of the best long, white sorts, and
