1 oz. for 100 feet of drill ; 9 lbs. to an acre. 



For early use sow in the spring as soon as the ground can be worked, 

 in drills 6 to 10 inches apart, covering seed half an inch deep; thin plantb 

 an inch apart in the row. As the roots are succulent and move tender 

 \vhen grown quickly, a rich, light soil should be preferred, and frequently 

 \vatering in dry weather will be found beneficial. For a succession,|sow 

 (■very two weeks. 



Crimson Giant Turnip. — A variety extraordinary in that, 

 while growing to an unusually large size, it isal ways tender, crisp 

 and of mild flavor. It remains in perfect condition a remarkably 

 long time, and unlike other forcing varieties, does not become 

 pithy even when twice their size in diameter. Root turnip shap- 

 ed; color a beautiful crimson-carmine; flesh firm, crisp and ten- 

 der. While very desirable as a second early forcing variety, we 

 specially recommend it for outdoor planting. }( lb., 15c.; lb., 

 60c. 

 Extra Early Deep Scarlet Turnip, (Forcing).— This variety has as small a top and is as early 

 as any in cultivation, making it one of the best for forcing, and roots fit for use ma}' be had in three weeks. 

 Root small, globular, very deep red in color; flesh white, crisp and tender. May be planted very closely 

 owing to its small tops. X lb., 15c.; lb. 40c.

 tinct from Early White Turnip

An excellent spring and summer 

 variety for market. Roots two

 size without becoming pithy or 

 running to seed. ^ lb., 10c. ; lb.,

 and best sorts for forcing; its color is very handsome; flavor 

 mild, crisp and juicy; stands a great amount of heat with- 

 out becoming pithy. Pkg., 5c.; X lb-, 15c-; lb.. 50c. 



Early Kound Dark Red.

 stands the heat well; very popular with market gardeners; 

 a beautiful golden vellow; flesh crisp and tender. Pkg., 

 5c.; % lb., 15c.; lb., 4'Oc. 



The Ne'W "Triumph" Radish. — This new forcing for extra early Radish 

 is a most distinct novelty. The small, round pure white roots are marked with 

 bright scarlet, in flakes and in short lines running around the circumference. Very 

 desirable for forcing under glass, while the bright contrasting colors of the small 

 round roots are most attractive. Skin thin; flesh crisp, tender and mild in flavor. 

 Pkt., 5c.; )4 lb., 15c.; lb., 50c. 



French Breakfast. — Color is a scarlet rose, 

 shading into a waxy white at the top; quick growth, 

 mild and tender, good for forcing. Pkg., 5c.; ^ lb., 

 10c.;lb., 30c. 



Early Scarlet Turnip, AVhite Tipped.— 

 One of the handsomest of the Turnip Radishes, and 

 a great favorite in many large markets for early 

 planting outdoors. It is but little later than the 

 White Tipped, forcing, and will give entire satisfac- 

 tion where extreme earliness is not the primarj' ob- 

 ject. Roots slightly flattened on the under side, 

 color very deep scarlet with a white tip; flesh white 

 and of the best quality. ^ lb., 15c.; lb., 40c. 



Half-Long- Deep Scarlet, or "Paris 

 Beauty." This is a splendid strain of similar sea- 

 son to the Early Long Scarlet. Very popular. The 

 Radishes are of slightly larger diameter and most 

 brilliant scarlet coloring. Flesh purest white, crisp 

 and juicy. Pkg , 5c.; X lb-, 15c.; lb., 40c.
