times slightly purple above; — flesh white, with translucent rays, very 
tender, mild, or slightly piquant. 
This radish is usually allowed to attain nearly its full size before 
being used. In season it is rather early among the summer radishes. 
It appears to be little grown in this country. 
Correctly figured in Les pi. pot., p. 529; Veg. Gar., p. 493.

white radijs, Vil. ; Port., Rabao redondo bianco, Vil. 
Root less flattened, and more inclined to top-shape than that of 
Early White Turnip-Rooted. The foliage is also more abundant, and 
grows more erect and the tap-root, instead of being very slender and 
clearly defined, is thick and expanded at its junction with the root. 
The surface is often irregular, and striate about the tap-root. The 
plant is slower in development, and the root does not become hollow 
so soon; — flesh white, with translucent rays, moderately tender, mild 
in our described samples, but called very piquant by Vilmorin. In 
season it is but little later than the Early White Turnip. 
B. Root yellow, light brown or grayish.

Resembles the Yellow Summer Turnip, but is smaller in size, much 
earlier, and with less abundant, distinctly lyrate foliage; skin rather 
smooth, dull yellow; flesh fine-grained, rather piquant. 
This variety is being largely superseded by the Golden Globe. 
No. 6. GOLDEN GLOBE, h. & w., '85; Land., '84, '85; Sib., '83. 
Syn. Golden Yellow Turnip, VEG. GAR.; Vil., '84: Golden Summer 
Turnip, Thor., '85 : Fr., Badis rond jaune d'or, VIL., '84. 
A strain of the Early Yellow, considerably earlier in maturity, with 
a more regular, more spherical, smoother, smaller necked root, of a 
brighter and clearer yellow color. The surface is very finely reticu- 
lated with whitish cracks when the root is full grown; — foliage 
distinctly lyrate, the terminal segment very large, oval, margin 
sometimes nearly entire; — flesh white, with distinct translucent rays, 
very tender and mild. The finest early yellow radish.
