Forcing 
Radishes. 
New White “/c cle” R adish 
This distinct new Radish from. 
( iermany, is the finest and long- 
est of the very early pure white varieties. 
It fully equals in crisp, tender flesh and 
mild flavor the popular White Vienna 
or I.ady Finger , while it is as early as 
Long Scarlet Short Top. The young 
radishes are ready for use in twenty to 
twenty-five days from sowing the seed, 
and their long slender form and pure 
paper- white skin are most attractive 
when hunched for market. This Radish 
is not only crisp and tender when young 
but retains these qualities until the roots 
attain large size, so that it will remain 
in fine condition longer than any other 
very early variety. The roots grow 
nearly as large as the Char tiers before 
becoming hollow or pithy. It is far su- 
perior to the so-called White Charticrs 
and White Wood's Frame. As roots de- 
velop very quickly, they can be pulled 
when quite young and the leaves are 
short and very few in number. It is ex- 
cellently adapted for forcing purposes 
or successive sowing in the open ground 
and gives a continuous supply of tender, 
crisp radishes for the table or market 
throughout the season. Per pkt., 5 cts.: 
^ oz., 15 cets. ; lb., 40 cts.
