No. 2 Scarlet Globe 



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



CULTURE OF RADISH.- Radishes thrive best in a light, rich, mellow soiI,aud 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. Like the turnip, they make the best growth in autumn and must be taken out 

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

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



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 foilage 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 without be- 

 coming pithy 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, loc; 

 >4 lb., 15c; lb., 50C. 



BOLGIANO'S SCARLET NO. i GLOBE RADISH. Excels other

 color, faultless shape and matures in twenty days. It looks beautiful on the

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

 outdoors early in the spring. Packet, 5c; ounce, loc; J4 lb> I5c; 54 lb., 20c;
