Yellow Summer. A good, strong, long-standing summer 

 variety with dark russety -yellow skin. Its flavor reminds of that 

 of winter radishes. 



Golden Summer is introduced as an improved Yellow 

 Summer. 



White Strassburg Summer. One of the finest half-long 

 varieties, very productive, growing to large size ; skin and flesh 

 pure white ; of superior tenderness and quality. 



1834. Similar to the above, but of American origin. 



Chartier. One of the largest of this class, smooth, hand- 

 some, long roots ; somewhat late, and of considerable pungency 

 but crisp and tender when well-grown. 



Chartier. 



White Lady Finger. Long Scarlet. 



WINTER VARIETIES. 



China Rose Winter. Early, handsome, tender, of some- 

 what sweetish flavor. Quite popular. 



Black Spanish Winter Long. Very black, flesh white, 

 firm, tender, pungent. 



Large White Spanish Winter. A quick grower, skin 

 and flesh white. Firm and pungent. A good keeper. 



Large White Russian. A mammoth in size, but lacking 

 in tenderness and crispness. 



California Mammoth White Winter, Mammoth Chinese. 

 Of very rapid growth, large, tender, and of mild flavor. I 

 prefer it to all other winter varieties.
