attractive Radish, crimson scarlet with white base. Is very 
quick in growth; produces small top, and flesh is of the finest

iar shape, crisp flesh, and nutty flavour give this fine selection 
a distinct advantage. Suitable for forcing.

duces very little top and matures with remarkable rapidity.

whiteness, attractive appearance, and freshness early in the 
season. The earliest long white Radish, of extraordinary crisp¬ 
ness and tenderness. We offer this as a companion to our Long

SPINACH. 
The Cultivation of Spinach. —Sow Round 
Spinach in succession from April to June, and 
Prickly or Winter Spinach during August and September to 
stand the winter. These plants should be well mulched and 
protected from the first approach of severe weather. Sow New 
Zealand Spinach in March in heat and transplant about the end 
of May, setting the plants about 3 ft. apart. This seed should be 
well soaked in hot water before sowing. 1 oz. of ordinary Spinach 
seed will plant 100 ft. of drill; 12 lb. to the acre in drills. 1 oz. 
of New Zealand Spinach will plant 50 ft. of drill. 
1095 The Carter Spinach. —A superb long-stander, with rich deep- 
green leaves. This fine Spinach was sent for trial to the Royal 
Horticultural Society, and was given an Award of Merit. The 
leaves are remarkably thick and solid; and the whole plant, 
which is very fine in colour, is of far greater duration than ordi¬ 
nary Spinach. Awarded 5 Lar^j Gold Medals with Carters 
other vegetables.
