BUCCANEER. A new AsGROW development, ed 
notable for its uniformity and attractive market 
appearance. The tops are medium-short, the 
roots globe-shaped, crisp-textured, with lus- 
trous scarlet exterior. Buccaneer is an ex- 
ceptionally nice little radish, and particularly 
desirable for late summer and fall harvest. 
CHERRY BELLE. One of the most desirable of 
the newer introductions. Of Early Scarlet Globe 
shape but bright cherry red in color. The tops 
are very short, even in warm weather, making 
Cherry Belle a nice radish for greenhouse, 
frame, or warm weather plantings. The uni- 
formity of the ASGROW strain makes for nearly 
100 percent marketable roots. The color should 
make this variety desirable for pre-packaging.
