ONION, CARLV RADISH. 
larly Radish, t his is a small, white. Hat Onion, no larger 
than a turnip radish and so early that it matures the last 
of July from Mav sown seed. It is so mild and delicious 
in flavor that it is eaten raw with stilt like a radish, aud is 
a most wholesome and appetising relish. When cooked it 
is also superb and leaves no odor whatever to the breath, 
and but very little when eaten raw. No Onion can ap¬ 
proach it in lineiitid delicate flavor, either rawer cooked. 
It has not a particle of toughness or coarseness, flaw, it 
is very crisp, tender and sweet, even surpassing in this 
respect the finest of radishes. The bulbs being so small, 
seed can lie sown quite thick in drills, aud they will pro¬ 
duce a solid mat of bulbs, covering the ground in the row 
completely. Three weeks earlier than any other Onion.

Yiqe peach. 
Of this new vegetable we cannot speak from any knowledge 
•of our own, but quote the introducer's description. It appeal's 
to belong to the Melon family, and is perhaps worthy of a 
trial. Tlie introducer says: “The fruit is about the size of a 
large peach, oval-shaped and of a bright orange-yellow color 
-somewhat rnsseted. When it first ripens it is unite hard, and 
i:as very litt le llavor, but soon they become mellow aud sweet.

who have tasted them. In the W. -t ami Northwest where 
fruit is scarce, we feel certain that they will quickly ltccomn 
popular, as they ure easily cultivated, wonderfully prolific, 
and can be used in every way in which you would use a peach, 
except that they are not usually liked raw.” I*kt.. Ac.; <»/.., 2Ao. 
California peppergrass. 
Some years ago we received from a customer a sample of 
seed which wasealled California Peppcrgrass. It was recom¬ 
mended as being extra line for salads, dressing ai>d garnishing, 
and unlike anything else known. We find it a very beautiful 
and valuable thing, and unlike anything else of the sort. It 
seems to be half way between a Cress and a Mustard. Its
