is icy white, crisp, brittle and juicy. It is perfectly mild and of a delightfully sweet 
flavor with just enough pungency to appeal to the appetite. It remains solid during 
the entire growing season, and is fully as good when 1 in. in diameter as when only 
Y inch. 
White Icicle, like other radishes, will stand some frost, so extremely early planting 
as well as late fall crops are possible. These crops at the extremes of the growing 
season are likely to be the finest of all because radishes thrive best during cool weather, 
and are of the highest quality when the plants have not been subjected to much heat. 
Remember that your White Icicles are going to grow deep into the ground and 
prepare the earth to a considerable depth to make growth rapid and even. 
This is one of the finest radishes grown, and should be in every garden, whether for 
home or market, spring or fall use. ‘Pkt. 10¢; oz. 25¢; 14 Ib. 75¢; _¥ Ib. $1.25
