TWei*ty’-DayExpressRadisl*. 
Is fit for the table in twenty days from the time of sow¬ 
ing the seed and is fully grown in twenty-five days, at which 
time the Radish is about one inch in diameter at the. top, 
three inches in length, and tapering to anoint. Color bright¬ 
est, richest scarlet, tipped with white. Quality very mild, 
crisp and delicious. By far the best flavored Radish we have 
yet seen, and the most desirable for table use. In our esti¬ 
mation this is the finest, and without doubt the earliest 
Radish in cultivation. It seems to combine all good points 
—earliness, beauty, good size and superior quality. Really 
a great acquisition. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 30c.; lb., $3.00.

«>3r»A new melon of a splendid golden color; beautiful be¬ 
yond imagination. Very delicious quality. Flesh crimson, 
sweet and juicy, with small seed. The golden colored rind 
taftkes this a most superb novelty. Pkt., 15c. 
]Ve\V Japanese q t orpip, 
Yeqqoji. 
Japan has for years been sending us charming new flow¬ 
ers and trees, but lately she has taken to vegetables; the 
result of which is a new mammoth Radish, and this enor¬ 
mous Turnip. We hope that other novelties as important 
as these may follow. The Tennoji Turnip is a mammoth 
flat variety of excellent quality. It is impossible to say just 
how large it will grow under favorable conditions, but the 
Japanese claim is something incredible. Here in our trial 
grounds under the disadvantage of a crowded test-bed it has 
rrown to the largest dimensions we have ever seen in a 
turnip. Finest seed, just imported from Japan, 10c. per 
ykt-.; 3 pkts. for 25c.; oz., 35c. 
Radish, Sakurajima Mammoth. 
One of the good new things from Japan. In our trial 
grounds last year it proved to be a very fine novelty indeed. 
It is of very quick growth, reaching an enormous size in a 
short time. Color pure white, almost like a piece or ivory. 
Very crisp and tender and of remarkably mild and pleasant 
flavor. Most people at once pronounce it to be the ideal 
table radish. It certainly is as far as beauty and quality 
goes. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 40c.
