Buckbee's Crystal Forcing 



New Leafless 



The extra early forcing Radishes lately intro- 

 duced are remarkable for the small size of 

 their leaves; they develop tlieir roots in so short 

 a time that the latter are practically in ad 

 vance of the leaves. Tlie seed lea\es, whicli 

 are noted for great development from the start, 

 are the only green parts to be seen on the plants 

 until the bulbs are almost large enough for pull- 

 ing. The roots are of the shape and color of 

 our Rapid Forcing Radish. Pkt. 5c.; oz. lOc. ;
