SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 



RADISHES 



1 oz. for 100 feet of drill: 9 lbs. per acre. 



Light, sandy soil, rich in organic matter is essential to produce 

 crisp and tender radishes. For an early crop sow the seed as soon 

 as the ground can be worked, in drills 6 to 10 inches apart, cover- 

 ing the seed half an inch deep. When the plants are well started, 

 thin out to one inch apart in the drills. Frequent watering in dry 

 weather is very beneficial as high quality is largely dependent upon 

 rapid growth. For a continuous supply, successive plantings should 

 be made at intervals of 10 days to two weeks, selecting varieties 

 best suited for the season. 



Extra Early Scarlet Globe No. 8 



From Specially Selected Transplanted Roots 



A reselected strain so uniform in its maturity that each sowing 

 can be entirely gathered and bunched at one pulling, with prac- 

 tically no waste. This means more bunches per row, more time 

 saved in bunching, and the ground ready for the next crop a week 

 earlier. This equalized maturity also permits sowing this crop 

 between rows of beans, corn, etc., as a "catch crop." This is the 

 market gardener's favorite as a forcing Radish, very early; mild 

 and crisp, juicy and tender; ample top, will stand heat without 

 becoming pithy. One of the best selling and most attractive 

 Radishes on account of its bright scarlet color and handsome 

 shape. Our stock of this is the very best, selected with special 

 care as to size, shape, color and earliness, and market gardeners 

 will find it a money maker, as it is just right in every respect.
