Radishes 



584 White icicle* 



The most popular of all radishes (30 days) 



The attractive, straight roots grow about 5 in. long, are very 

 smooth and free from side roots, and are shaped like real icicles. 

 Skin is pure white, thin and tender; flesh is icy white, crisp, 

 brittle and juicy. It is perfectly mild and of a delightfully sweet 

 flavor with just enough pungency to appeal to the appetite. It 

 remains solid during the entire growing season, and is fully as 

 good when 1 in. in diameter as when only Yz inch. 



Pkt. 102; oz. 302; Vi lb. 902; Vz lb. $1.55. 



572 Crimson Giant «& 



Extra large, crisp, and tender (28 days) 



Large, early maturing, turnip-shaped radish almost double the 

 size of any of the other turnip-shaped varieties; single roots often 

 weigh one ounce and are 5 to 6 in. in circumference. It grows 

 quickly and has a most attractive, deep crimson skin; flesh is 

 pure white, of fine flavor, firm, crisp, and never shows any hollow 

 or pithy centers. Used by many people as a sandwich radish 

 because of its mildness and slicing size.

The very earliest (22 days) 



Desirable, quick growing, red button radishes as round as marbles, 

 with very small tops and small tap-roots. The skin is bright scar- 

 let. The firm white flesh is crisp, brittle, and juicy. Adapted for 

 forcing or outdoor planting. Grown in large quantities, it is the 

 earliest of them all — your first garden dividend.

597 Vicks Early Scarlet Globe 



(23 days) Has a good reputation as a forcing variety; it stands 

 the heat required for forcing without becoming pithy in the heart 

 or losing any of its flavor. The thin skin is rich scarlet; flesh is 

 white, crisp and tasty. Grows round to olive shape, has medium- 

 sized tops and 

 very thin, fine 

 roots. Also one of 

 the best outdoors.

583 Maule's Earliest Scarlet* 



The favorite early red radish (24 days) 



The very first vegetable from your garden will be the earliest 

 radishes, and you'll enjoy Maule's Earliest Scarlet just as thou- 

 sands of other gardeners have during the past 60 years. It has a 

 short top, and is well adapted to growing under glass as well as 

 early planting in the garden. It reaches an average size of 1 in. in 

 diameter, and is round in shape. The skin is rich, gleaming scarlet. 

 The flesh is pure white, always crisp, brittle, mild, and sweet. It is 

 hard to imagine a more satisfactory sensation than the first 

 crunching bite from one of these delightfully flavored radishes.

 bright scarlet with a large tip of the purest white.
