Early White Delicious 
The Finest of AH Radishes. The Earliest of the Long White 
Sorts

They quickly grow to market size and remain tender during 
the entire growing period, and are quite as good when an 
inch in diameter as when only half an inch. The leaves are 
short, very few in number, and the roots can, therefore, bo 
brown very close together. The flesh is crisp, tender, and 
mild in flavor. Admirably adapted for growing under glass 
as well as in the open ground. Excellent for market and 
private gardeners. Pkt. 8c; oz. 13c; 2 oz. 20c; >/ 4 lb. 27c;
