Radish —Continued 
White Icicle 
Radish 
WHITE ICICLE. The finest and 
longest of the very early pure white 
varieties. Radishes are ready for 
use in twenty to twenty-five days; 
their long, slender form and pure 
paper-white skin are most attractive 
when bunched 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 
first-class variety. A valuable forc¬ 
ing variety also for succession sow¬ 
ing in the open. Pkt., 5c.; oz..

and a variety which for all purposes is first-class. Every one 
who likes a long, white radish should plant Livingston’s Pearl.

on the approach of severe cold weather. The ground cannot 
be too rich. The stronger the ground the more delicate and
