KAUIC30llfO. Winter Radishes. 



(CONTINUED.) 

 new White Icicle Radish.— This distinct new Radish, introduced 

 from Germany, is the finest and longest of the very early pure white 

 varieties. It fully equals in crisp, tender flesh and mild flavor of the pop- 

 ular White Vienna, or Lady Finger, while it is as early as Long Scarlet 

 Short Top. Planted in Spring, the young Radishes are ready for use in 

 20 to '& days from sowing the seed. This Radish is not only crisp and 

 tender when young, but retains these qualities until the roots attain 

 large size. It is excellently adapted for forcing purposes or successive 

 sowing in the open ground, and gives a continuous supply of tender, 

 crisp Radishes for the table or market throughout the season. PKt. 5c, 

 Oz. 10c, 2 Ozs. 15c, 1/4 Lb. 25c, Lb. 60c, 5 Lbs. $2.00. 

 )S;' China Rose Winter.— Also called Scarlet Winter. A popular favorite 

 ^vith rose-colored skin. It is a large and fine shaped Radish, growing 

 partly above the ground. The portion above ground is darker in color 

 than that below ground. The size is 3 to 4K inches long. Flesh pure 

 white. Flavor mild or slightly pungent. A splendid keeper for use iu 

 Winter. A very showy Radish. PKt. 5c, Oz. 10c, 1/4 Lb. 15c, 1/2 Lb. 25c,

Culture of Radishes.— Thrive best in light, rich, mellow soil ; 

 to bring out their mild qualities must make quick and tender growth; 

 sow for very early use in hot-beds during Winter and early Spring, in 

 well-manured, deeply dug and finely raked soil, in drills 10 inches apart; 

 thin to 2 inches in the rows. Sow Winter varieties in July and August. 

 Like the Turnip, they make best growth in Autumn ; must be taken out 

 before severe frost, and stored away in a cool cellar in sand or a pit, 

 where they will keep tender and crisp all Winter; before using put in 

 cold water, which adds to their freshness. 



RHUBARB ROOTS. Very Fam i P CTi££ o wn as the 



Rhubarb is the first article of the season from the garden ; cultivated 

 to a great extent, and is indispensable where it is known. 



Culture. — Usually multiplied by division of roots. Plant four feet 

 apart each way, in very rich soil, and at least two feet deep. Rhubarb 

 is a gross feeder, and will make good use-of the strongest manure, either 

 fresh or rotted. Pull as long as demand continues, which is usually one 

 to two months Cultivate well and top dress liberally twice a year— in 

 early Spring and at the end of pulling season Plants are easily grown 

 from seed. Should be two years old before transplanting.

NEW WHITE CHINESE CELESTIAL 



New Short White Chinese Celestial Radish.— In 1897, we placed 

 this very attractive Winter Radish in the hands of our largest truckers, 

 and since then we have never had seed enough to supply the demand. 

 Is as solid and juicy as an apple, p lire white flesh and delicious flavor — a very 

 choice variety. We never sent out a Winter Radish that gained so much 

 popularity in so short a time. Sown any time after July 1 to the middle 

 of August, it will keep all Winter in prime condition; mild in flavor, 

 brittle, never gets woody as do most Winter varieties. Market gardeners 

 have found it to be a splendid seller, aud have always made monev on it.

 at so small a cost. WILLIAM F. WISE).

HORSE RADISH ROOTS. 



The best variety is produced from small 

 pieces of roots 4 or 5 inches in length. These 

 small roots will produce good Radish, fit 

 for use iu one season's growth. Plant the 

 set small end down, where the slanting cut 

 is, so that the top will be finches under the 

 soil, and in rows or furrows 2 to 3 feet apart 

 and 15 to 18 inches apart in the rows. The 

 soil should be very rich an d well cultivated. 

 It is hardy and may be left in the ground until Spring before digging. 

 A part of the crop may be pitted late in the Fall if desired. A dozen roots 

 will give all that will be needed for family use; as it constantly increases, 

 it is best to plant it in some out-of-the-way corner of the garden. By 

 mail (postpaid). Each 5c, Dozen 25c, 50 for 60c, 100 for 90c. By 

 express (not paid), 100 for 75c, 300 for $2.00, 500 for $3.00. Prices, 

 1,000 and upward, given on application.

—(CONTINUED.) ( 



Early White Bush Scalloped, or Patty Pan Squash 



We have taken special pains to build up a superior stock of this most 



useful vegetable, and do not believe it is possible to get as true a strain 



elsewhere. Good 



size, uniform, a 



heavy cropper, 



and extra early. 



The skin is white 



and the flesh fine 



grained and ten- 

 der. It is dwarf in 



habit, very hardy, 



having a rind of 



hard texture, 



which makes it 



exceedingly suit- 

 able for shipping. 



Those who have 



tried our superior 



stock are loud in 



their praises of its 



merits. We want 



you to try it this 



year. PacKet 5c,

// The New Red, or Golden Hubbard,— A long-looked-for and most 

 ^excellent new Squash. A sport from that old standard of excellence, 



the Hubbard ; a perfect type of its parent, except in color, which is a 



bright orange-red exceedingly showy and attractive. Flesh much richer 



in color than Hubbard, fine grained, cooks very dry, of excellent flavor. 



Its keeping qualities are fully equal to, while in productiveness it far 



excels the old variety. These, with its sweet, rich flavor, attractive color 



and shape are bound to make it one of the most profitable to grow.
