Excellent varieties for forcing and general crop; they should 
be sent to table when about the size of filberts. The 
“French Breakfast,” scarlet white-tipped, is 'the break- 
fast radish at the hotels and clubs in London and Paris 
during the winter months. To ensure the fine white tip, 
and the high quality of this radish, sow in leaf soil. “ The 
Purple white-tipped French Breakfast,” is a fine variety. 
These stand dry hot weather better than most other 
varieties, and are esteemed at all seasons. The Rose 
rond a bout blanc is the beautiful scarlet white-tipped 
variety so much esteemed by the French. The two small 
new varieties are very beautiful, sweet, and crisp ; they 
are recommended to sow under glass and out of doors 
in summer.
