No. 31. LONG WHITE NAPLES, Sib., '83; Thor, '85; Veg. Gar. ; ViL, '84. 
Syn. Long White, Burr ; Vil. : Naples, Burr : Vil. : White Italian, Burr ; 
ViL; White Transparent, Burr; Vil.: Fr., Radis (on rave) blanche a collet 
vert, Vil., '84 : Have blanche, VIL. : Ger., Lange weisse Kadies, Vil. : Ital., 
Ramolaccio bianco, Vil. 
Root nearly of the form and size of the Long Scarlet, usually rather 
thicker; white shading to pale green about the rather large neck; 
surface somewhat striate, side roots rather numerous, often extending 
nearly to the top; — foliage very abundant and spreading; leaf segments 
very numerous, reaching nearly to the ground; — flesh white, with 
distinct rays, rather tough and piquant; — in season nearly intermediate 
between the spring and summer radishes. This variety is always grown 
in the open ground. 
A strain is sometimes met with in which the upper part of the root 
is tinted with purple. 
No. 32. WHITE CROOKED, Burr; Vil., '84. 
Syn. Fr., Rave tortillee du Mans, Burr; VIL., '84. 
Root long cylindri-conical, often irregular, growing much above 
ground, the part growing below ground often bent or twisted like a 
cork-screw; well developed samples 10 in. long, 2 in. in diameter; white 
except about the neck, where it is pale green; neck very large; — foliage 
abundant; leaves rather short; petioles same color as the leaves, hairy; — 
flesh white, with translucent rays, rather tough and piquant. 
As the root often grows crooked below ground, it cannot be pulled 
easily when full grown without breaking. An autumn variety little 
grown in this country. 
No. 33. WHITE SPANISH WINTER, Thor., '83; Vil. 
Syn. Autumn White, Burr : * California Large White Winter, Thor., '85 :

langrunder R., Vil. 
Root conical, or cylindri-conical; white, sometimes a little russet 
about the neck; well developed samples 8 in. long, 2 \ in. in diameter; 
* Quite distinct from the Californian or Mammoth White Winter radish 
of the Vegetable Garden (Radis blanc de Calif ornie, of Les plantes potageres). 
The two varieties are confused in American catalogues, each being some- 
times sold for the other.
