and frequently four inches in diameter and of equal length; of a clear 
white color. A fine summer or fall radish.

the shoulder and abruptly tapering; skin and flesh pure white, and remain 
firm and brittle longer than most varieties. 
Fall or Winter Varieties 
LONG BLACK SPANISH (55 days)— O ne of the latest and hardiest varie¬ 
ties for winter use; roots 8 to 9 inches long, 2 to 3 inches in diameter, and 
nearly black in color. 
ROUND BLACK SPANISH (56 days)—Roots are round, inclined to top- 
shape, and 3 to 4 inches in diameter; skin almost black; flesh white, crisp 
and pungent. 
ROSE CHINA WINTER, or SCARLET CHINA (52 days)—One of the 
very best winter sorts. Roots are cylindrical, or largest near the bottom; 
stump rooted or blunt at both ends; skin smooth and bright, deep rose 
color; flesh white, crisp and pungent. The roots grow 5 to 6 inches long 
and 2 inches thick.

Rape 
CULTURE —Prepare the ground as for Turnips and sow in June or July, 
with a turnip drill, in row's 2^ feet apart, at the rate of 2pounds of seed 
per acre; or sow broadcast, 5 pounds per acre. 
DWARF ESSEX —For sowing. There is no plant that will give so large a yield 
of forage at so small a cost as this. Our strain is an especially selected 
English variety which produces a much heavier crop than the ordinary 
strain. 
Rhubarb 
or Pie Plant 
CULTURE —Rhubarb succeeds best in deep, somewhat retentive soil. A deep, 
rich soil, trenched to the depth of 2 or 3 feet, is required to insure the full devel¬ 
opment of the leaf-stalks. Sow the seed in April in drills, and when the plants 
are of fair size, thin to 9 inches apart, in the drill. In the fall following, or the 
next spring, the plants will be large enough to transplant into rows 3 feet 
apart, setting them the same distance apart in the rows. 
1 ounce will produce 1000 plants 
MYATT’S LINNEAUS GIANT- —The most popular variety. Broad, thick, 
tender stalks, showing much of the preferred red color. Many growers 
prefer growing their own plants from seed instead of setting divided roots.
