NEW LEAFLESS. 

 YOTJ WANT THIS CHARMING RADISH. 

 The extra earl; forcing Radishes lately introduced are remarkable for the small eiie of their leaves; they 

 develop their roots in so short a time that the latter are practically in advance of the leaves. The character 

 is still more noticeable in this new variety. The seed leaves, which assume a great development from the start, 

 are the only green parts to be seen on the plants until the bulbs are almost large enough for pulling. Only
