Eong White Vienna—The finest and most beautiful long white radish. Tender, mild flavor, grow quickly. 1. Giant White Stuttgart—Very early ; pure snowy white. It with- stands the severest heat, and grows to an immense size. The quality is always the very finest, firm, brittle and not pithy. 2. Newcom—This is the earliest, largest, white radish known. Owing to their beautiful half-long shape and fine appearance they readily sell at double the prices of ordinary varieties. Quality very fine. 3.

Early Yellow Summer Turnip—Eusset-colored sort, grows much larger than the white or red turnip sorts. Best kind for resisting the extreme heat and the drought of the Southern States. 11. Twenty Day Forcing—A new and very distinct type of the well known olive-shaped radish, of perfect form, smooth skin, fine color, and very short leaves, extremely quick growth, takes only 3 weeks to mature, valua- ble for forcing, while is does equally well in the open ground. 12.
