This is a very popular vegetable, and grown to a large extent. The ground for 

 radishes should be rich and mellow. The early small varieties can be sown broad- 

 cast among other crops, such as beets, peas, spinach, or where lettuce has been 

 transplanted. Early varieties are sown in this section the whole year, but during 

 summer they require frequent watering to make the^m grow quickly. The Golden 

 Globe and White Summer Turnip are best for planting during the summer months. 

 The Half Long Scarlet French is the only red kind raised for the New Orleans 

 market, and all the other cities in the United States taken together do not use as 

 many of that one variety as New Orleans does. I have sold nearly two thousand 

 pounds of the seed per annum for the last twelve years. 



colored at the top, shading off lighter, 

 until at the bottom it becomes white. 



My trials with this variety have not 

 been satisfactory ; the roots are larger, 

 but not very symmetrical, and not bet- 

 ter in flavor than the long scarlet. Will 

 never become a favorite here. 



Early Scarlet Turnip. A small, 

 round variety, the favorite kind for fa- 

 mil}" use. It is very early, crisp and 

 mild when young. 



Crolden OBobe. This stands the 

 heat better than the foregoing kinds. 

 It is of an oblong shape, and of a beau- 

 tiful bright yellow color. It should be 

 sown very thinly. Best adapted for 

 summer and fall sowing. The variety 

 I keep is of the finest strain, and as good 

 as any ever sold. 



Early Scarlet Olive -shaped. 

 This is similar to the Half Long French, 

 but shorter, and not quite so bright in 

 color. It is early and of good quality. 

 Top short. 



'White Summer Turnip. Thte is* 

 a summer and fall variety. Oblong' in 

 shape, skin white, stands the heat well, 

 but not much used. 



Scarlet HaSf Lion^ French. 

 This is the most popular Radish for the 

 market. It is of a bright scarlet color, 



Early Long Scarlet. 



Early Eong* Scarlet. This is a very 

 desirable variety ; it is of a bright scar- 

 let color ; short top and very brittle.
