CHARTIERS. —A long, smooth radish, red above 
and shading to a clean white at the tip ; large, but 
both brittle and tender; widely popular. This radish 
makes the finest appearance on the market stall, and 
for this reason is grown extensively by market gar¬ 
deners. I’kt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; quarter lb., 20c.; lb., 50c.; 
10 lbs. by express, $3.50. 
ALLEN’S SNOWBALL. —This white globe- 
shape radish is the foremost of its class in the Phila¬ 
delphia markets. It seems to be constantly improving 
in character under high culture and careful selection. 
For growing under glass it is most excellent. Its short 
top and round growth make it a great favorite with 
market men, and its mild, sweet quality wins the favor 
of the consumer. It is often ready to pull before the 
leaves are fully grown, thus economizing valued space 
under the sashes. Pkt., oc.; oz., 10c.; quarter lb., 
25c.; lb., 50c.; 10 lbs. by express, $3.50. 
WHITE CHARTIERS, or WHITE STRAS- 
BURG.—Similar in shape and possessing the same 
good qualities as the above, but the color is pure white.

ductive ; the color of the skin is very pleasing, being
