NEW AND DISTINCT RADISHES. 
See Coloured Supplement \ 
Plate 4. 
The Cultivation of Radish . — Sow on a moderate hotbed in January. February, and March, also every ten days during the spring and 
summer in well-prepared places in the open. The Radish thrives best when quickly grown in a rich. deep, moist soil, kept well watered during 
the hot weather. Winter varieties should be planted about the middle of July ; store the roots during the winter in a cool pit or cellar and cover 
them well with earth. 1 oz. of seed will sow 100 ft. of drill ; 10 lb. will plant an acre.

1636 Carters Holborn Elephant Swede. — A heavy cropping purple-top, tankard-shaped Swede of the highest feeding value. It is now 
several years since we introduced this fine Purple-top Swede, and it has. during that time, acquired a large popularity amongst agriculturists, 
The root grows well out of the ground, is always sound and solid, and the variety adapts itself to almost any soil. Each year we receive 
numerous flattering reports from growers as to the advantages of our Holborn Elephant Swede, and we believe that this now shares with 
our Holborn Invicta .Swede the reputation of being the most popular tankard-shaped Swede grown. 
1637 Carters Prixe-winner Purple-top Swede. — A purple-topped variety, growing to a large size, with a single tap-root and a very small 
and fine top. Unlike other varieties which grow with a hard and coarse neck. Carters Prize-winner PurPle-toP has a fleshy top, the leaf- 
stems breaking almost immediately above the crown of the bulb, which continues to grow and increase in weight long after the “ necky” 
Swedes have mildewed and ceased to improve. 
1638 Carters Holborn Invicta 8wede. - Purplish-bronze variety. Carters Holborn Invicta Swede has become the most popular Swede in 
cultivation. There is hardly a root competition or agricultural show at which fine specimens will not be found taking a high place in the 
awards. Not only in England but in all parts of the world where Swedes are grown, notably in Canada and New Zealand, it has become 
the variety in greatest demand. This extensive popularity and public favour are sure proofs of its outstanding merits, and it is steadily 
taking the place of older and inferior sorts. 
1639 Carters Holborn Kangaroo Swede.— A green-top Swede, well known on account of its disease-resisting and hardy nature, 
very suitable for growing on poor shallow soils, or for feeding off on the ground. Short harvest and seed very scarce.
