THE VEGETABLE GARDEN 



Early Deep Scarlet Turnip 

 Radish. 



raising an early crop, and succeeds much better on spent manure 

 than in garden soil. 



Early Scarlet Globe Radish. Introduced from America a good 

 many years ago, it forms rapidly small uniformly bright red roots. 



The leaves are small, like those of the other 

 forcing Radishes, and the root, although 

 not so long as in the olive-shaped sorts, is 

 not as round as in the turnip varieties, and 

 would be as correctly described as oval 

 as globe. 



Blood-red Turnip Radish. A hardy 

 Radish with globe-shaped roots of peculiar 

 brown-red colour, and white, firm flesh ; 

 it requires less care, when grown in the 

 open ground, than the other early sorts, 

 and keeps longer without becoming pithy. 

 In ordinary conditions it is fit for use 

 twenty-eight to thirty days after sowing. 

 Early Deep Scarlet Turnip Radish. A very handsome 

 variety. Root very round, or slightly flattened, and of an 

 exceedingly bright colour; flesh white, firm, crisp, and very 

 pleasant to the taste ; leaves of a somewhat lighter green 

 than those of the pink-skinned Radishes. This variety is 

 often fit for use in about twenty days after sowing. It grows 

 well in ordinary garden soil, and still better in compost or leaf- 

 mould. 



Forcing Deep Scarlet Turnip Radish. A handsome small 

 variety, remarkable for 

 its bright colour and for 

 its small leaves. An early 

 forcing Radish, it is fit 

 for the market within 

 fifteen to twenty days 

 from sowing time, accord- 

 ing to circumstances. 



Forcing Deep Scar- 

 let White-tipped Turnip 

 Radish. This variety is 

 very like other small 

 Radishes for forcing in 

 the smallness of its leaves 

 and the rapidity with 

 which the root is formed. It is one of the most grown sorts for 

 early crops. 



Forcing Bright Red Leafless Radish. Root ovoid, bright 

 carmine, of excellent quality. A very early variety, and well adapted 



Forcing Deep Scarlet Turnip Radish.
