^ Long' Brightest Scarlet, While Tipped.— This* 



is the brightest and handsomest colored scarlet Radish 

 known and a decided improvement in earliness and color 

 over other varieties of this class. It makes roots fit for use 



in about twenty-five days 

 from time of planting, and 

 they continue in good con- 

 dition until they are full 

 grown, when they are as 

 large as the Ivong Scarlet. 

 It has a small top and does 

 not run to neck. Pkg., 5c.; 

 J-lb,, 15c.; lb., 40c.

 tier. — The color at top is 

 crimson, running into pink

„— n New White Icicle Kadish.— This distinct new 

 Radish, introduced from Germany, is the finest and longest 

 of the very early pure white varieties. It fully equals in 

 crisp, tender flesh and mild flavor the popular White Vienna 

 or Lady Finger, while it is as early as Long Scarlet Short 

 Top. Planted in Spring the young Radishes are ready for 

 use in twenty to twenty-five days from sowing the seed, 

 and their long slender form and pure paper-white skin are 

 most attractive when bunched for market. This Radish is not 

 only crisp and tender when young, but retains these quali- 

 ties until the roots attain large size, so that it will remain 

 in fine condition longer than any other very earlj' variety.
