RADISHES 



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



Light, sandy soil, rich in organic matter is essential to pro- 

 duce crisp and tender radishes'. For an early crop sow the 

 seed as soon as the giound can be worked, in drills 6 to 10 inches 

 apart, covering the seed half an inch deep. When the plants 

 are well started, thin out to one inch apart in the drills. Fre- 

 quent watering in dry weather is very beneficial as high quality 

 is largely dependent upon rapid growth. For a continuous 

 supply, successive plantings should be made at intervals of 

 10 days to two weeks, selecting varieties best suited for the 

 season. 



Extra Early Scarlet Globe (Forcing) 



This is the market gardener's favorite as a forcing Radish, 

 very early; mild and crisp, juicy and tender; top small, 

 will stand heat without becoming pithy. 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 care as to size, 

 shape, color and earliness, and market gardeners will find 

 it a money maker, as it is just right in every respect.

 growth in the open air. The skin is very smooth, and its clear

 flavor is excellent, and its qualities high in all respects. Pkt.,

Early Scarlet Turnip, White Tipped

 doors. Roots slightly flattened on the under side, color very deep scar- 

 let with a white tip; flesh white and of the best quality. Pkt., 10c; J^ lb., 25c; lb., 75c.

 vjOIHoUH Vjl<lll l does not become pithy, even when fully twice as large in diameter and a week older; beautiful crimson- 

 carmine; turnip-shaDed; flesh firm, crisp and tender. We recommend it for outdoor garden planting as well as for greenhouse forcing.
