23 days. A radish everyone should plant; it is early, of fine quality, refined, 
smooth, attractive appearance and pungent flavor. Small, bright red and 
as round as marbles, 34 in. in diameter, with thin, bright red skin. The 
flesh is pure white, crisp, and delightfully snappy. Tops are short, mak- 
ing it desirable for growing under glass. The quicker they are grown, 
indoors or out, the crisper their flesh and the more delectable their flavor.

scarlet, small tap-roots, and for eating and keeping qualities it is surpassed by 
mone; it will remain crisp and solid for a long time. Tops are large enough tor

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. Flesh is mildly pungent.

Our strain of this beautiful long radish is 
simply perfection. It is an attractive
