 clear white and a little longer. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 16c; % Lb. 20c; Lb. 60c. 



Improved Chartier, or Shepherd. Although this American variety is too strong 

 growing to be used for forcing, it is one of the very best for sowing outdoors. The roots come 

 to usable size very early, remaining hard and crisp until they reach a diameter of one and 

 one-half or two inches, and so furnish good roots for a much longer time than any of the pre- 

 ceding varieties. Roots scarlet rose above, shading into white at the tip. They are long, 

 cylindrical for the upper two-thirds, and then gradually taper to the tip. Flesh white, crisp 

 and mild flavored. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 16c; ^ Lb. 20c; Lb. 60c. 



LONG WHITE VIENNA, or Lady finger 



A very excellent 



bite variety with 



long, very smooth, 



white roots which are crisp and tender. It comes into use shortly after Wood's Frame, 

 and is one of the most desirable of the white summer sorts. See colored plate.

 inches tliick, very white; the flesh is exceedingly crisp and tender. One of the best of the 

 large summer sorts. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; h. Lb. 20c; Lb. 60c.

Early Golden Yellow Oval 



A comparatively new sort, very popular in the 

 New York market. The roots are oval, very smooth 

 and handsome; bright, light yellow color, and of 

 fine quality. It matures very quickly, and has a 

 small top and neck. This sort follows the White 

 Vienna in maturity, and resists the summer heat 

 better than the scarlet or white kinds. Our stock 

 is grown from selected roots and is very fine. See 

 colored plate. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 16c; ^ Lb,

 brown, wrinkled and often marked with transverse 

 white lines. Flesh mild, of greenish-white color, 

 and moderately solid. Medium early, and a good va- 

 riety for summer use. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c;

Long Black Summer. This variety may 

 be treated like a summer radish with the most sat- 

 isfactory results, or it may be used as a winter sort. 

 Top comparatively small. Roots rather large, long, 

 tapering to a point; skin deep black: flesh white, 

 firm, crisp, tender and quite pungent. It is a very 

 handsome black radish, and is worthy of thorough 

 trial. Pkt. 5c; Oz, 10c; 2 Oz. 16c; ^ Lb. 20c;
