RAPHANTTS CAUDATUS. Mr. Bull's variety, which was exhibited at the International 

 Exhibition, and created such a furor. Of this most interesting addition to our salad plants the pods 

 only are used ; they are of an agreeable delicate Radish-flavour, and of easy digestion. In salads 

 they are highly estecmed, and are most valuable for pickling. The pods are of rapid growth, 

 attaining the length of 3 feet, but should be gathered when about half grown. In addition to their 

 culinary value the plant when in pod is decidedly ornamental and a great curiosity, and worthy 

 of a place in the shrubbery border. The seed may be raised in heat, potted off', and planted out in 

 May, and should be sown in the open ground for succession in May and June. Per packet, /G, 1/, and 2/6.
