HENDERSON'S BREAKFAST RADISHES. 



The Three -ROCKETS 



*t 



THE illustration gives an excellent idea of these splendid 

 new Radishes. A dish composed of these three Rocket 

 Radishes, prepared for the table, presents a most at- 

 tractive appearance, and we advise every lover of this vegetable 

 to grow some of each. In addition to their bright appearance, 

 it is necessary to state that they are absolutely the earliest 

 varieties grown ; they mature at exactly the same time, and grow 

 so quickly that they never take on that strong, rank flavor 

 which we associate with the later varieties. 



RED ROCKET RADISH. This variety has a very small top, 

 which permits close planting — a great advantage when grown 

 under glass — the bulb is smooth, deep scarlet in color, with 

 a very small root. The flesh is crisp and of good flavor. 

 {See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 30c. \ lb., 90c. lb. 

 WHITE ROCKET RADISH. A trifle heavier than Red Rocket. 

 It has an equally small top ; the bulb is pure white, while the 

 color of the flesh is distinct, being of a clear waxy-white. (See 

 cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 30c. J lb., 90c. lb. 

 WHITE TIPPED ROCKET RADISH. This is the ideal first 

 early Radish. For man}'' years the old French Breakfast has 

 . held a foremost place among all the varieties offered. We 

 have now to offer a sort that possesses all of its merits, and, in 

 addition, extreme earliness. The color is deep rose, tipped 

 white at the base. The flavor is deliciouslv mild. (See cut.)

A selection of EARLY ROUND RADISHES. 



EARLY ROUND DARK RED RADISH. The finest type of the 

 Early Scarlet turnip-shaped class, producing handsome, ball- 

 shaped radishes of medium size, ready for use in about 

 20 days from sowing; surface smooth and of rich dark red; 

 flesh white as snow, crisp and of mild flavor. It remains fit 

 to use for a considerable time. (See cut.) Price, 5c. pkt., 

 15c. oz., 25c. I lb., 65c. lb. 



WHITE-TIPPED EARLY SCARLET TURNIP RADISH. A 

 superior strain of this variety, so popular both for outdoor cul- 

 ture and growing in frames; of medium size; shape very uni- 

 form and round; color bright scarlet, with a distinct white tip, 

 contrasting vividly and making it very attractive: mild, crisp, 

 white flesh; matures in 25 days. (See cut.) Price, 5c. pkt., 

 15c. oz., 25c. I lb., 65c. lb. 



HENDERSON'S ROSE TURNIP RADISH. This is one of the 

 best and most beautiful Radishes we have ever seen. It is 

 similar to the round early variety in shape and size, and has a 

 small, compact top and a miniature tap root. It is very early, 

 requiring only 23 days to mature it, and remains in good con- 

 dition for 10 days. Its tenderness and delicate flavor, added 

 to its charming rosy-pink color, render it very attractive when 

 bunched. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 30c. \ lb., 

 90c. lb. 



EARLY CRIMSON GIANT TURNIP RADISH. Double the 

 size of any of the early turnip-shaped type. This variety de- 

 velops to 6 and often 7 inches in circumference, weighing up 

 to 1 ounce per bulb, or about four times the weight of similar 

 sorts ; but notwithstanding its immense size, does not get hollow 

 or pithy, the flesh remaining sparklingly white, solid, crisp 

 and juicy, and of the mildest flavor. The shape of the bulbs 

 varies between round and almost oval, but the bright, deep 

 crimson color of the skin remains quite constant. Excellent 

 both for forcing and open-ground culture. (Sec cut.) Price, 

 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 50c. | lb., $1.50 lb.
