446 On the Varieties of Spring Radishes. 



The seeds of the different kinds of Radish are readily dis- 

 tinguished by the skilful seedsman. The long white Radish 

 seed is small, flat, and pale. The Scarlet and the Purple 

 Long-rooted Radish seeds are large, the former very light 

 coloured, in comparison with the latter, so much so, that they 

 can be known immediately from each other. The White 

 Turnip Radish seed is small, round, and brown ; that of the 

 Scarlet Turnip Radish is rather larger than the White, and 

 something darker ; that of the Purple Turnip is also larger, 

 and of a brown colour, being very similar to the Long-rooted 

 Purple kind, except in size.
