 Large Purple Winter. Vilm. 495. 1885. 



There is another form of black radish figured in the early botanies, of quite a distinct 

 appearance. It answers suggestively to the description by Vihnorin of the Radis de Mahon 

 a long, red radish, exceedingly distinct, growing in part above ground and peculiar to some 

 districts in southern France and to the Balearic Isles. 



Raphanus niger. Loh. Icon. 1:202. 1591. 



Radice selvatica. Dur. C. 384. 161 7.

Radis de Mahon. Vilm. 499. 1885. 



Theophrastus mentions the Corinthian sort as having full foliage and the root, imlike 

 other radishes, growing partly out of the earth, but the Long Normandy answers to this 

 description as well as the Mahon.
