to olive-shaped, small tap-roots, bright scarlet, and for eating and keeping 
qualities it is surpassed by none; it will remain crisp and solid for a long time.

Summer Radishes 
The following varieties require more time to 
mature than the spring radishes so that they 
are becoming ready to use when the others are 
gone. As they grow more slowly, they endure 
heat better and are valuable for summer use.

long, brittle red radish. Almost 6 in. in length, 
and matures in about 4 weeks. Our strain of
