CRIMSON GIANT RADISH.— This new radish is an entirely new type and differs 

 radically from all the varieties hitherto in cultivation, in so far as its roots attain more 

 than double the size of those of other forcing varieties, without getting pithy or hollow. 

 This giant radish develops roots of si.x to seven inches in circumference and over an 

 ounce in weight, their pure white flesh remaining firm and crisp and of the mildest 

 flavor, but notwithstanding the extraordinary size and weight of its bulbs, it is second 

 to none as a forcing variety. It is equally well adapted to o"utside culture. The seed 

 should be sown very thinly to permit full development of the roots. Packets, 5 and 10 

 cents; J/J pound, 15 cents; pound. 50 cents.

SANDWICH ISLAND MAMMOTH WHITE SALSIFY.-Qne of the most de- 

 licious ot winter vegetables, and also one of the most nutritious; the flavor is 

 sweet and highly esteemed, whether served boiled with butter or other suitable 

 sauce, or sliced and fried, or used in soup. This new variety, where known is 

 entirely superseding the old type, as it produces roots nearly double the size and 

 weight, and of equally good quality. Seed sown in spring produces large fine 

 roots that may remain in the ground all winter or may be dug and stored in' sand 

 or earth in November, thus keeping them plump and sweet, to be used as desired 

 during the winter^ (See cut.) Packets, 5 and 10 cents; % pound, 25 cents; 1/2 pound,
