RADISH 



CULTURE— Radishes thrive best in a sandy, loamy soil, and to have a continuous supply for lite table sow as early in the spring 

 as possible and at intervals of ten days thereafter. Where the summers are very hot, sow until lite fifteenth of May and then omit 

 until August. Then make three sowings at intervals during thai month. Radishes are divided into three classes — spring, summer 

 and winter kinds, and all kinds should be used in a garden. Radishes are fit for the table in 25 to 40 days from solving in the open ground. For extra 

 early crop sow seed in ho! bed in February. One ounce for each 100 ft. of row.

RADISH CHERRY-BELLE 



725 CHERRY-BELLE (New) 



All-America Bronze Medal Winner 

 1949 



AS ROUND AND RED 

 AS A CHERRY 



Here is the most attractive radish 

 we have ever seen. The roots are re- 

 markable not only for their bright 

 scarlet color, but also for their 

 startling uniformity in shape and 

 size- you feel that every one of them 

 comes from the same mould. 



CHERRY-BELLE is just as good to 

 eat as it is to look at, for the flesh is 

 delightfully crisp and firm. It has an 

 extreme resistance to pithiness, and 

 thus retains its prime condition 

 much longer than the general run 

 of radishes. The tops are exception- 

 ally short and gray-green in color. 

 Season 23 days. 



Price, pkt., 25c.
