Early Round Deep Scarlet Radish
A valuable improvement on the ordinary Scarlet Turnip Radish, and will be found to be very useful for market garden purposes. The color of the skin is very dark red, so much deeper than the common scarlet as to attract attention. The flesh is white, crispy, and it has a very small top. Last season, in New York market, it brought a third more than the Scarlet Turnip. It is equally well adapted for growing in frames, green-house, or open ground.
