CULTURE — 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 sowings 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 f I. of row. 



ORDER ENOUGH SEED TO MAKE THREE OR MORE SOWINGS.

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, globe-shaped, and 

 has very small tops. Ready in 23 

 days.

722 CRIMSON GIANT 



This variety grows to 5 and often 

 6 inches in circumference, weigh- 

 ing up to 1 oz. per root, but not- 

 withstanding its immense size, 

 does not get 'hollow or pithy, 

 but keeps in condition for a long 

 time. The flesh remains spar- 

 kling white, solid, crisp and juicy 

 and it is of the mildest flavor. 

 Ready in 29 days. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 

 K lb., 85c; lb., S1.85. 



757 SPARKLER 



Brilliant scarlet with a very pronounced 

 white tip. It wins by appearance alone. 

 But to this must also be added its spar- 

 kling white, solid, crisp flesh and mild 

 sweet flavor. It is desirable both for 

 forcing and garden culture. Foliage 

 small. Ready in 25 days.

728 WHITE-TIPPED SCARLET

 and tender, and extremely mild. Ready

725 CHERRY-BELLE (New) 



See color picture, page 75 



All-America Bronze Medal Winner 



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., 15c ; oz.,45c; Vi lb.,$l .35. 



760 WHITE-TIPPED ROCKET 



The color is deep rose, tipped white at 

 the base. The flavor is deliciously mild. 

 Ready in 25 days. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; H lb.. 85c; 

 lb., $1.85.

The leading long white radish, and one

 able snappy flavor. When fully matured 

 it reaches a length of 6 inches. It is pure 

 white, and has a translucent and appetiz- 

 ing appearance.

 Lady Finger

767A HENDERSON'S COLLECTION 

 OF FOUR RADISHES 



Radishes add such a spright piquancy to a 

 meal, that they should be served at all 

 times. By making the first sowing in a 

 cold frame and then continuing with suc- 

 cession sowings up to September they 

 may be enjoyed throughout the en- 

 tire season. There is nothing more 

 tasty during the summer than chilled, 

 glistening white slices of Icicle.
