MAMMOTH GOLDEN CASHAW PUMPKIN 



RADISH.

 •Crimson Giant. {See 



ctit. ) This is an entirely 



new variety, suitable for 



forcing or early planting out 



of doors. A remarkable 



feature of this Radish is that 



it will grow double the size 



of other round red forcing 



Radishes and still remain 



solid, not showing the least 



sign of becoming hollow. 



The ordinary forcing radish, 



after growing to the size of 



two or three inches in cir- 

 cumference, and weighing 



about )^ ounce, becomes 



pithy and unfit for eating, 



while the Crimson Giant 



will grow to six and seven 



inches in circumference, 



weigh about one ounce, and 



still remain solid and juicy, free from all signs'of becoming soft. 



In shape this new radish is round to oval, and'is very attractive.
