RADISH-Continued 



41 



795 New Perfection. This type of Radish, having red skin with 

 a white tip, has long been a great favorite, and with this 

 variety the white portion extends much farther up than is the 

 case with ordinary Scarlet Turnip White Tip Radish. The 

 general contour is turnip-shape, and size medium, very uni- 

 form, with flesh crisp, tender and sparkling. The rapidity of 

 its growth recommends "New Perfection" for growing in the 

 greenhouse, but it is equally as valuable for sowing in the 

 vegetable garden. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; i lb., 50 cts.; 

 lb., $1.75. 



825 White-tipped Scarlet Gem. Leaves short and excellent 

 for forcing; color bright scarlet with white tip. It is a very 

 handsome variety and exceedingly rapid grower. Also listed 

 as "Rosy Gem" in many catalogs. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; 

 Jib., 45 cts.; lb., $1.50.
