Six ounces of seed will plant 100-yard row; 8 to 12 pounds to the acre. 



CULTURE OF RADISH. Radishes thrive best in a light, rich, mellow soil, and to bring: 

 out their mild qualities they must make a quick and tender growth. Sow for very early use in 

 hot beds during the winter and early spring, or later on, in sheltered borders, in well- 

 manured, deeply dug and finely raked soil. If not well stimulated into a rapid growth, they 

 become fibrous and tough. Sow in drills ten inches apart and thin to two inches in the rows. 

 Sow at intervals of two or three weeks until September for a succession. Sow winter varieties 

 in July and August. L,ike the turnip, they make the best growth in autumn and must betaken 

 out before severe frost and stored away in a cool cellar in sand or in a pit where they will keep 

 tender and crisp all winter. Before using, put in cold water, which adds to their freshness. 



No. 2 Scarlet Globe 



outdoors early in the spring. 



BOLGIANO'S No. 2 SCARLET GLOBE RADISH. Is the 



very best in every way. It is handsome in form and color, 

 a beautiful oval and rich scarlet. The amount of its foliage is 

 small, compared with other varieties, and small for the size 

 of the radish. The peculiar merit of this variety as a forcing 

 radish is that it will bear the heat requisite for forcing with- 

 out becoming pethy or spongy. The flesh is tender, juicy and 

 mild. It is equally as good for open garden culture as for 

 forcing, and therefore it commends itself equally to the 

 amateur and market gardener. Packet, 5c; ounce, 10c; 

 X lb, 15c; lb., 50c.

 days. It looks beautiful on the market stall and outsells all 

 other sorts. It needs no recommendation to those who are 

 already used to it, and others should try it in their frames or
