WHITE CHINESE RADISH. 



It was recently noticed in California that the 

 Chinese gardeners had an entirely distinct and very 

 superior white summer radish, and so carefully 

 guarded was the stock that it was necessary to send to 

 China to obtain the genuine seed. The roots as shown 

 in the engraving are elongated about 2 inches across 

 the top, and gradually tapering, but ending abruptly 

 like a stump-rooted carrot. The thin skin and solid 

 flesh are both snow-white, crisp, brittle and of the 

 very best quality. It is a quick-growing radish ; can 

 be pulled at any stage, and even when large is firm 

 and solid. It makes really good radishes in mid- 

 summer that are not pithy, but crisp and refreshing 

 to the taste. It is best adapted for winter radishes, for 

 which purpose seed should be sown in August. Per 

 pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; X 1^., 35 cts.; lb., |i.io.
