 pungent flavor. Equally asj

VICK'S EARLY SCARLET GLOBE RADISH. _ ' 



As a forcing Radish it has established a rep- 

 utation as the leading sort — the 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 va- 

 rieties, 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 becoming pithy or spongy. 

 Flesh is crisp, tender, juicy, mild; equally as 

 good for open garden culture as for forcing; it 

 commends itself to amateur and market gar- 



ener. Oz., lOe. Lb., $1.00.

 growth; mild and tender; good for forcing.

Horse Itadish Hoots. 



^■^HE best variety Is produced from small pieces of roots 4 

 or 5 inches in length. These small roots will produce good 

 Radish fit for use in one season's growth. Plant the set 

 small end down, where the slanting cut is, so that the top will 

 be 2 inches under the soil. The soil should be very rich and 

 well cultivated. It is hardy and may be left in the ground 

 until Spring befofe digging. A part of the crop may be pitted 

 late in the Fall if desired. A dozen roots will give all that 

 will be needed for family use; as it constantly increases, it is 

 best to plant it in some out-of-the-way corner of the garden.

BOLGIANO'S 

 NEW WHITE DELICACY. 



HIS charming Radish has 

 beautiful form, an excep- 

 tionally clear, bright, waxy 

 appearance, which, together with 

 its being exceedingly smooth, 

 delicate, crisi: and tender, makes it the most salable half-long 

 white Radish ever placed in the grower's hands. It has short 

 tops, does not become woody, and will remain in edible con- 

 dition in the ground fully two weeks after it is ready to pull. 

 As a forcing variety it has no equal. As an outdoor Radish it 

 is far superior to the Strasburg, which it resembles very 

 much. Pkt., 5c. Oz.. lOc. 1/4 Lb.. 20c. 1/2 Lb., 30c. 

 Lb., 50c. 5 Lbs., $2.00. 

 CULTURE OF RADISH— Thrive best in light, rich, mellow 

 soil; to bring out their mild qualities must make quick and 

 tender growth; sow for very early use in hot-beds during 

 AVinter and early Spring, in well-manured, deeply dug and 

 finely raked soil; in drills 10 inches apart; thin to 2 inches in 

 the rows. Sow Winter varieties in July and August. Like the 

 Turnip, they make best growth in Autumn; must be taken 

 out before severe frost, and stored away in a cool cellar in 

 sand or a pit, where they will keep tender and crisp all Winter; 

 before using put in cold water, which adds to their freshness.
