How and what to grow in a kitchen garden of one acre

GOLDEN GLOBE.--This variety is of very quick growth and fine quality,
being ready for use in from four to six weeks after sowing the seed.
In shape it is almost entirely round, the color quite bright, and the
quality very sweet and crisp.
GIANT WHITE STUTTGART produces very large roots, frequently reaching
the size of an ordinary turnip; it is very quick growing and resists
the heat of summer well, being firm and brittle until it runs to seed.
The skin and flesh are pure white, a good guarantee of its mild flavor.

LONG WHITE VIENNA, OR LADY FINGER RADISH.]
LONG WHITE VIENNA.--This is a very fine long, white radish, both skin
and flesh being pure white; it is crisp and brittle and rapid in
growth, and to my mind of a much more attractive shape than the large
globe radishes, which, unless pulled young, are too large for any but
the confirmed lover of radishes.
LARGE WHITE GLOBE.--A very large, round, summer turnip radish, with
pure white skin and flesh, which is very crisp and brittle. It grows
quickly and withstands heat well. It is similar to the Golden Globe,
except in color.[14]

WINTER VARIETIES.
CALIFORNIA MAMMOTH WHITE.--This is the largest of all radishes, the
roots growing eight to ten inches long and two to three inches in
diameter, while the flesh is solid, snow white and of excellent flavor.
CHINESE ROSE.--This is a bright, rose-colored variety, of very
attractive appearance; it is of excellent quality, a good keeper, and
one of the best varieties for winter use.
POTATOES.
