3 "ROCKET" RADISHES. 



YT7HE illustration gives an excellent idea of these splendid 

 • I* new Kadishes. A dish composed of these three 

 Rocket Radishes, prepared for the table, presents 

 a most attractive appearance,, and we advise every lover 

 of this vegetable to grow some of each. In addition to their 

 bright appearance, it is necessary to state that they are ab- 

 solutely the earliest varieties grown ; they mature at ex- 

 actly the same time, and grow so quickly that they never take 

 on that strong, rank flavor which we associate with the later 

 varieties. 



RED ROCKET. This variety has a very small top, which 

 permits close planting — a great advantage when grown 

 under glass— the bulb is smooth, deep scarlet in color, 

 with a very small root. The flesh is crisp, and of good 

 flavor. (See cut.) PRICE, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. W lb., 

 $1.00 lb. 

 "WHITE ROCKET. A trifle heavier than Ked Rocket. It 

 has an equally small top ; the bulb is pure white while the 

 color of the flesh is distinct, being of a clear, waxy white. 

 (See cut.) PRICE, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c % lb., $1.00 lb. 

 WHITE TIPPED ROCKET. This is the ideal first early 

 Radish. For many years the old French Breakfast has 

 held a foremost place among all the varieties offered. We 

 have now to offer a sort that possesses all of its merits, 

 and, in addition, extreme earliness. The color is deep rose, 

 tipped white at the base. The flavor is deliciously mild. 

 (Seecut.) PRICE, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. y± lb., $1.00 lb. 



NEW RADISH TRIUHPH. 



This Radish is unique. It is exceedingly early, maturing in about 21 days 

 from date of sowing. The root is globe-shaped and very small, and the tops 

 are so dwarf and compact that it can be sown very closely, making it invalu- 

 able for cultivation under glass, and grown thus the warm moisture renders 

 its peculiar color more prominent. 



The flesh is exceedingly crisp and solid, and, owing to its rapid growth, is 

 very mild in flavor, but its chief characteristic is the unique outer color of the 

 root, pure white, striped and splashed with bright scarlet, which is thorough- 

 ly distinct from anything heretofore grown, and is a true ornament on the 

 table. Itismost attractiveinappearance.andwe have no doubt that it will 

 And a ready sale for use, not only as a salad, but for garnishing, and will 

 certainly prove useful on account of its attractive appearance when bunched. 



Nearly all the bulbs come true to color, but under certain conditions a small 

 percentage is apt to come in solid color. (See cut.) PRICE, 10c. per pkt..

NEW RADISH — TRIUMPH. 



S^gg? the "WALDORF." 



VERY valuable addition to our list of Lettuces, equally 

 useful for forcing as for open-air cultivation. The 

 general color is clear bright green, which is never bron- 

 zed by outdoor growth under any climatic conditions. It is 

 medium in size, the entire plant measuring about ten inches 

 in diameter. It has a peculiar habit of heading, the head 

 standing clear away from the outer leaves, which lie flat on 

 the ground, a valuable feature for outside culture, securing 

 an equable moisture around the root of the plant. It has 

 but little stalk ; the l&ead is very solid. The leaves are thin, 

 slightly crumpled, very crisp and entirely without that heavy 

 veining which makes some of the best sorts bitter to the taste. 

 Very valuable for growing under glass, making it a valuable 

 acquisition to the market grower. (See cut.) PRICE, 10c 

 pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. % lb., $2.00 lb.
