SMALL, OR FORCING, RADISHES

Forcing Bright Red Leafless Radish. 



for forcing ; remarkable also for its scant foliage, often confined to 



the two cotyledons and two 



additional small, short, and 



rough leaves. This, with 



its great earliness, makes it 



apt for growing under glass. 



It seldom seeds. 



Triumph Radish. In 



general characteristics it 



belongs to the forcing 



turnip-rooted Radishes ; it 



has their globe-shaped root, 



small leaves, and their 



earliness. Its peculiarity 



consists in thescarlet streaks 



with which the white root 



is covered. On some roots 



either the red or the white 



colour predominates, but as 



a rule the stripes are distinct, and contrast agreeably with the 



uniform colouring of the other early Radishes. 



White Turnip Radish. A handsome variety. Root nearly 



round, flattened only when 

 it attains a very large 

 size ; leaves pretty large, 

 erect, and light green. 

 Although it is only two 

 or three days later than 

 the Early White Turnip 

 Radish, this kind is more 

 suitable for open-air cul- 

 ture than for forcing. The 

 flesh is white, firm, and 

 agreeably pungent. 



Small Early White 

 Turnip Radish. Root 

 rounded, usually flattened 

 above and underneath, 

 often twice as broad as 

 deep ; leaves short, rather 

 spreading, very much cut 

 or divided, somewhat gray, 

 and tinged with brown on 

 the veins and in the middle. 

 In this variety the roots
