fine, and of excellent flavor, cook soft and tender, and are excellent keepers.

Tennessee Sweet Potato Pumpkin.—Grows 
to a medium size, a little ribbed, color 
creamy-white, sometimes lightly striped 
with green, flesh thick, creamy-white, 
and remarkably fine grained, dry and 
brittle, and of most excellent flavor. Is 
hardy and very productive, keeps perfect¬ 
ly sound until late in the Spring. It 
speedily becomes a general favorite wher¬ 
ever it is introduced. Has no equal lor 
making pies and custards. When cooked 
it has somewhat the appearance of sweet 
potatoes, but of more delicious taste. It 
proves very distinct, and is a valuable 
acquisition. This variety I recommend 
as being superior to any other variety of 
Pumpkin for cooking purposes. Packet, 
10 cts., ounce, 40 cts., two ounces, 75 cts. 
King of the Mammoths.—This new variety 
has roundish heart-shaped leaves, a short,

wide meridianal furrows. It grows to an 
enormous size—three feet or more in diameter, and one hundred to two hundred 
pounds or more in weight. It has a salmon-colored skin; flesh bright yellow, 
fine grained and of excellent quality. Per packet, 10 cents, ounce, 25 cents, one- 
fourth pound, 60 cents, pound. $2.00. 
Mammoth Ktampes Bright Red.—This new variety has been imported from France, 
where is is quite celebrated. It has been grown in this country to an enormous 
size, is of a bright, glossy red. It makes a splendid variety to grow lor exhibi¬ 
tion purposes. Per packet, 10 cents, ounce, 15 cents, pound.$1.60. 
Radishes should have a light, rich, mellow soil. Sow the early varieties as soon 
as the ground can be worked, in drills ten Inches apart, and thin to two inches in 
the rows, at intervals of two 
weeks up to September for a 
succession. The Winter va¬ 
rieties should be sown in July 
and August. Take up before 
severe frost, and store away 
in a coot cellar or pit. They 
will keep tender and crisp all 
Winter. One ounce will sow 
one hundred feet of drill.
