Rdbana, Sp. Radis, Rave, Petite Rave, Fr. One ounce of seed will sow ioo feet of drill. CULTURE.—Sow early and often. In good, warm, fibrous loam, especially if quite sandy, summer Radishes will make a crop in 4 to 6 weeks from sowing. The soil should be well prepared and fertilizers may be used freely. Have the rows a foot apart, and sow just seed enough so that they will not require thinning. Any little spot that becomes available during summer may be utilized for planting Radishes. The short or turnip-rooted sorts are quickest and easiest to grow, and good for forcing also. On greenhouse bench or frames the rows need not be more than 4 inches apart. Sow winter Radishes in July and August. They grow best in the cooler Autumn weather. Take them up before severe freezing and store in sand in the cellar or in a pit, where they will keep tender and crisp all winter. French Breakfast. Oblong shape, very mild and tender. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; J lb., 30 cts.; lb., 85 cts. Round Red Forcing. One of the earliest and best of the Turnip varieties for forcing; very short-leaved, small top; color of skin dark red, white fleshed. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; I lb., 30 cts.; lb., 85 cts. Early Scarlet Turnip. Small top, quick growth, mild and crisp. Largely used for early planting in open ground. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; \ lb., 25 cts.; lb., 75 cts. Dreer's Crystal Forcing. Of remarkably quick growth, beautiful shape; small top. A very desirable and shapely Radish, in fact, we consider it superior to any other round white forcing Radish. Compared to such white sorts as White Box, Round White Forcing, etc., it is far superior, both as to quickness of growth and fine quality. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.;
