CURRIE BROTHERS COMPANY, MILWAUKEE, WIS, 



"Saxa" 



RADISH 



Culture — Radishes do best in a 

 light sandy soil. For a successive 

 supply sow from the middle of March 

 until September, at intervals of two 

 or three weeks. Sow in a hotbed for 

 an early supply. 



,' One ox. to lOO feet of drill; 8 to 10 

 lbs. per acre in drills. 



"SAXA" — A fiery scarlet, perfectly 



g-lobular in shape, the leaves 



small and the root the thinnest 



possible tail. In less than three 



weeks from the day of sowing is ready 



for the table. The flesh is firm, crisp 



and juicy, remaining- so for a long time without becoming 



spongy. It is recommended equally for open ground culture 



and for forcing, for which it was particularly developed 



and is especially adapted. In trials during the past season, 



with all other standard sorts Saxa proved to be at least 



three days earlier than the earliest. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; V4, lb.
