JAPAN's IMMENSE RADISH.
The Sakurajlma Weighs Thirty
Pounds mt Maturity.

TFou GOOQ Housekeeping
A transplanted vegetable subject OF the
Mikado that has met with favor from all
who have tried it is the sakurajima, or
japanese radish. Its appearance is as
formidable as it's name. In shape and
foliage the sakurajima resembles our long
American radish. There the similarity
ends. In Japan these vegetables grow TO
weight OF thirty pounds. The largest
one Mr.. Fullerton has produced weighed
only fifteen pounds. Until We become
more familiar with the vegetable marvels
of the Orient, however. a fifteen pound
radish will be plenty large enough for the
average American housewife.
The flavor of the sakurajima is similar
to that of our own radish but is more
delicate. The flesh is far superior to that
OF the native product. being like an apple
in color and texture. The sakurajima can
be sliced, and keeps well. A single small
radish will be sufficient 20 furnish a meal
for an average family. The particular ad-
vantage of this product is in the fact that
II may be eaten at any time after the
vegetable has properly formed until it
has fully matured. The native radish. on
the other hand, is good only az maturity
This viii mean the eventual Frightening
of the radish season.
