SUMMER RADISHES. 



—Summer radishes have always been difficult to get per- 

 olid During the hot weather they all have a tendency to 



become more or less pithy or hollow just before reaching full size. 



In our All Solid we have a perfect summer radish growing to a 



large size. It is always solid, never becoming pithy or hollow. 



The flesh is white, firm, crisp and tender. It is turnip-shaped re- 



fsembling the old Gray Summer in shape and color, but much 

 superior to that variety in keeping qualities and without doubt 

 the best sort for summer^use. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; ^ lb., 30
