RADISH.- 



Rettig. 



Scaarlet Globe. 



Crimson Giant Turnip. A variety extraordinary in that, 

 while growing to an unusually large size, it is always 

 tender, crisp and mild flavor. It remains in perfect con- 

 dition a remarkably long time, and unlike other forcing 

 varieties does not become pethy, even when twice their 

 size in diameter. Root turnip-shaped ; color a beautiful 

 crimson -carmine ; flesh firm, crisp and tender. While 

 very desirable as a second early forcing variety, we specially 

 recommend it for outdoor planting. X lb. 15c. Lb. 50c. 



Early Deep Scarlet Button. For outdoor sowing this is 

 the most important in the Baltimore market, thousands of 

 pounds being annually used. Our stock is the very best. 

 It has a rich scarlet color, ball shape, a little larger top and 

 matures a week later than the forcing varieties. Pkt. 5c.

 beauty, with golden brown

 planting. Whether grown in 

 garden or hotbed you can de- 

 pend on remarkably perfect, 

 early, uniform crop. Pkt. 5c.

Early Scarlet Turnip, White Tipped. One of the hand- 

 somest 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 

 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. X lb. 15c. Lb. 40c. 



Half Long Deep Scarlet, or "Paris Beauty.'' This is a 

 splendid strain of similar season to the Early Long Scarlet. 

 Very popular. The Radishes are of slightly larger diam- 

 eter and most brilliant scarlet coloring. Flesh purest white, 

 crisp and juicy. Pkt. 5c. X lb. 15c. Lb. 40c. 



You should plant only first-class Radish seed grown from selected and 

 transplanted roots ; this reasonably adds greatly to the cost of production, 

 the crop, however, grown from seed procured by this method will pay for 

 itself many times over again, and is acKnowledged by all of our customers. 



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 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, 



Extra Early Scarlet Globe (Forcing). This is the market garden- 

 ers favorite as a forcing Radish, very early ; mild and crisp, juicy 

 and tender ; top small ; will stand heat without becoming pethy. 

 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 case as to size, shape, color and earli- 

 ness, and market gardeners will find it a money maker, as it is just 

 right in every respect. Pkt. 5c. % lb. 15c. Lb. 50c. 



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 may 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.

Extra Early Scarlet 

 Turnip, White Tipped 

 (Forcing). An e x - 

 tremely early variety 

 which matures fully in 

 less than 4 weeks. It

 handsomest and best 

 early sorts that we

 fect globe or ball- 

 shape, and of bright i 

 rich scarlet color, 

 tipped with white, 

 thus making it partic-

 lent seller on the mar- 

 ket. Quality unsur-

 (Forcing). An improve- 

 ment on the Philadelphia 

 White Box, which has been 

 popular for several years.

 shape, very early and has 

 but few le^res, thus making 

 it of special value for grow- 

 ing in hotbeds or "boxes" 

 and one-third more Radish- 

 es can be grown in the same 

 space than with most other 

 sorts. It is of clear white 

 color, solid, juicy and un-
