GoldeiL Yellow Mammotli. 



Ooldeu Yellow lYlaiUiuotta. This is a very large Pumpkin. 

 Flesh and Skin are of a bright golden yellow color, fine grained and 

 of good quality. I had some brought to the store weighing one hun- 

 dred to one hundred and fifty pounds, raised on land which was not 

 manured or fertilized.

 Early Scarlet Turxip. 

 Golden Globe. 

 Early Scarlet Olive-shaped. 

 White Summer Tuenip. 



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

 The ground for radishes should be rich and mellow. The earh' small 

 varieties can be sown broad-cast among other crops, such as beets, 

 peas, spinach, or where lettuce has been transplanted. Early varie- 

 ties are sown in this section the whole year, but during summer they 

 require frequent watering to make them 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 Xew Orleans market, and all the other cities in the United 

 States taken together do not use as many of that one variety as Xew 

 Orleans does. I have sold nearly two thousand pounds of the seed 

 per annum for the last twelve years. 



Early Long: Scarlet. This is a very desirable variety ; it is of a 

 bright scarlet color, short top and ^ery brittle. 



Early Scarlet Tnriiip. A small, round variety, the favorite 

 kind for family use. It is very early, crisp and mild when young. 



Golden Globe. This stands the heat better than the foregoing 

 kinds. It is-of an oblong .s-hape, and of a beautiful bright yellow color.
