352—CINCINNATI MARKET (28 days)—This is the finest long radish to plant for

and of delightful flavor. The roots are slender and before becoming pithy are often 
6 to 8 inches long by about % of an inch in diameter at the shoulder.

345— WHITE VIENNA, OR LADY FINGER (29 days)—A medium early maturing, 
long white summer radish; roots are 6 to 7 inches long, white, slender and smooth.

CULTURE—The seed should be sown as soon as possible after danger of frost is over. In the 
spring it is customary to burn a quantity of brush and rubbish on the ground intended for 
the seed-bed ; then dig and pulverize the earth, mixing in the ashes. After this preparation 
the seed may be sown, covering very lightly. When the plants are 6 inches high, transplant 
into rows 4 feet apart each way. Cultivate thoroughly with plow and hoe.

leaves of fine flavor and aroma.
