 variety in cultivation for general use, having all the qualities- 

 necessary to recommend it. It is medium in size, rich dark red in 

 color, the root is clean and smooth, and the top is small. There 

 is no radish in cultivation that remains fit for use for so long a. 

 time. Our trials have always proved it to be the last early variety 

 to get pithy. 10 cts. pkt., 15 cts. oz., 30 cts. M lb., 65 cts. lb. 



WHITE TIPPED SCARLET TURNIP. No radish looks better Ott 

 the table than this. It is bright scarlet in color, gradually fading-
