- For forcing, Wood’s Early Frame is preferred to the Long Scarlet; it is 
of same shape, but not so long, and has less foliage. Other good early 
radishes besides those named are Early Round Dark Red, Half Long 
Scarlet, Early Oval Dark Red, Early White Turnip, French Breakfast 
and the White Tipped Turnip Radishes. A variety of these handsome 
little radishes on the table is both attractive and appetizing. —Ed.
