— Rettig. 



\ Fo 



Scarlet Globe. 



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 B to 10 inches apart, covering seed half an inch f 

 deep ; thin plants an inch apart in the row. As the roots are ) 

 succulent and more tender when grown quickly, a rich, light ) 

 soil should be preferred, and frequent watering in dry weather > 

 will be found beneficial. For a succession, sow every two weeks.) 



^-' Scarlet Globe, (Forcing'.)— Oneof the earliest and 

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

 mild, crisp and juicy : stands a great amount of heat, without 

 becoming pithy. Pkg., 5c.; i lb., loc; lb., 50c. 



The New "Triumph" Itadish. — This new forcing 

 f^ 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. 

 In our trials this year it proved of the earliest maturity, and 

 growing with a minimum amount of foliage is 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.; Jib., 15c.; 

 lb., 50c. 



^,j^_ Golden Dresden. — An early, small, round variety," 

 having rich golden skin. Slightly later than the scarlet 

 varieties. Planted May 5th, was ready for the table on June 

 3rd. Pkt., 5c.; i lb., 15c.; lb., 40c. 



^ Model White "Box." 



— Is superior and entirely 

 S distinct from Early White 

 Turnip Radish. Remarkably 

 short top, rapid growth, per- 

 fect turnip shape, extra fine 

 quality, showing no dispo- 

 sition to become pithy with 

 age, especially fitted for 

 growing under glass. Pkt., 

 5c.; ilb., 15c.; lb., 40c. 



4r Early White Turnip. 



— Pure white in color, with 

 a small top ; flesh pure white 

 and tender. Pkg., 5c.; J lb., 



Model White "Box." 1^^' ^^•' ^'^'^• 



few Leafless, (Forcing.) — A new variety of most 



distinct growth, the 

 leaves being very small, 

 heavy, rough and 

 i^ crumpled. Roots bright 

 scarlet and small ; one- 

 half to three-quarters 

 of an inch in diameter. 

 Not quite so early as 

 Scarlet Button, but on 

 account of small top 

 can be grown even more 

 closely together. Pkt., 

 Newl-eafless. 5c.; ilb., 25c.; lb., $1.00. 



^ Early Scarlet Turnip, White Tipped.— One 



of the, handsomest of the Turnip Radishes, and a great 

 favorite in man}' large markets, for early planting outdoors. 

 It is but little later than the White Tipped, forcing, and 

 will give entire satisfaction where extreme earliness is not 

 the primary object. Roots slightly flattened on the under 

 side, color very deep scarlet with a white tip ; flesh 

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

 for forcing. Pkg, 5c.;

{^ _ Ruby. — A very handsome small variety, of extremely
