WHITE, CROOKED.

Tortillee Du Mans. _Vil._

Root very long; when suitable for use, measuring twelve inches and
upwards in length, and an inch in diameter, nearly cylindrical, often
irregular, and sometimes assuming a spiral or cork-screw form; skin
white and smooth; flesh white, not so firm as that of most varieties,
and considerably pungent; leaves very large.

WHITE TURNIP-ROOTED.

Bulb of the form and size of the Scarlet Turnip-rooted; skin white;
flesh white and semi-transparent. It possesses less piquancy than the
Scarlet, but is some days later.

YELLOW TURNIP-ROOTED. _Trans._

Yellow Summer.

Bulb nearly spherical, but tapering slightly towards the tap-root, which
is very slender. It grows large,--to full four inches in diameter, when
old; but should be eaten young, when about an inch in diameter. The
flesh is mild, crisp, solid, and quite white. The skin is of a
yellowish-brown color; and the leaves grow long and upright, with green
footstalks.

Half early, and well adapted for summer cultivation.

LONG WHITE.

White Italian. Naples. White Transparent.

Root long and slender, nearly of the size and form of the Long Scarlet;
skin white,--when exposed to the light, tinged with green; flesh white,
crisp, and mild.

It is deserving of cultivation, not only on account of its excellent
qualities, but as forming an agreeable contrast at table when served
with the red varieties.

LONG WHITE PURPLE-TOP.

A sub-variety of the Long White; the portion of the root exposed to the
light being tinged with purple. In size and form, it differs little from
the Long Scarlet.

NEW LONDON PARTICULAR.

Wood's Frame.

This is but a sub-variety of the Long Scarlet; the difference between
the sorts being immaterial. The color of the New London Particular is
more brilliant, and extends farther down the root. It is also said to be
somewhat earlier.

OBLONG BROWN. _Trans._

The Oblong Brown Radish has a pear-shaped bulb, with an elongated
tap-root. It does not grow particularly large; and, being hardier than
most varieties, is well adapted for use late in the season. The outside
is rough and brown, marked with white circles; the flesh is piquant,
firm, hard, and white; the leaves are dark green, and rather spread over
the ground; the footstalks are stained with purple.

AUTUMN AND WINTER RADISHES.

These varieties may be sown from the 20th of July to the 10th of August;
the soil being pre
