RADISH 



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

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

 until August. Then make three soilings at intervals during that 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 sowing in the open ground. For extra 



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



EARLY ROUND VARIETIES 



756 SCARLET GLOBE 



The best of the forcing varieties 

 and the best of its class for outdoor 

 culture; one of the most attrac- 

 tive radishes grown. The roots 

 are a little longer than round, 

 the skin intense scarlet in color, 

 with tiny thread-like roots. It 

 is very early, oval-shaped, and 

 has very small tops.

722 CRIMSON GIANT 



This variety grows to 5 and often 

 6 inches in circumference, weigh-

 withstanding its immense size,

 time. The flesh remains spark- 

 ling white, solid, crisp and juicy
