 a most attractive appearance. The flesh is crisp, white and tender, 

 and extremely mild. (See engraving.) Price, 5c. pkt., 15c. oz~

 quickly, is very tender, and extremely mild in flavor. (See en- 

 graving.) Price, 5c. pkt., 15c. oz., 55c. M lb., $2.00 lb.

 purchased from you this season, are without exception the finest I ever 

 raised."

"We are highly pleased with your White-Tipped Scarlet 

 Turnip Radish. My gardener put some in at the same time 

 as other radishes. To our surprise last night he pulled some 

 of them and found them perfectly formed, which we had not 

 expected from the small tops we saw." 

 May 6lh. HARRY RA YMOND, High Point, N. C
