HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 

 STKAINS OF: 



RADISHES 



THE BEST VARIETIES FOR 

 FALL SOWING & FORCING 



EARLY SCARLET GLOBE. This is the most popular forcing 

 Radish on the market to-day. It is grown very largely in the 

 Eastern States to supply the enormous demand in New York, 

 Boston and other eastern markets, where its brilliant color and 

 attractive shape have secured for it a prominent place. It 

 matures in 21 days, and has a very small top. No variety looks 

 better in the bunch, none holds the color longer, or remains 

 firmer after pulling. Our stock is not equalled by any to-day, 

 and is selected specially for the most critical trade, some growers 

 buying as much as 500 lbs. annually for forcing purposes. 

 Price, 10c. oz., 20c. | lb., 60c. lb. (26 lbs. and over at 56c. lb.) 



" Your Scarlet Globe Radish matures 10 days ahead of Cardinal Globe, the 

 supposedly crack variety of Philadelphia."

 color and makes a handsome bunch — very desirable. Price,

 ship. Price, 10c. oz., 15c. \ lb., 50c. lb. 



RAPID FORCING. A fine variety. It resembles the White 

 Tipped Scarlet Turnip, but is a little smaller, though earlier,
