NEW IMPROVED LARGE YELLOW 



Summer Turnip Radish. 



This exceedingly fine type of yellow summer 

 radish, which we now offer to the public for the first 

 time, is the result of hybridizing and many years' con- 

 tinued selection by a well-experienced Philadelphia 

 market gardener, to whom we paid an enormous price 

 for our stock seed. We call particular attention to the 

 fact that it can only be procured from us. Its shape 

 is well shown in the accompanying illustration. The 

 neck is much smaller, leaves finer, flesh whiter and of 

 a much better shape than the old yellow summer, and 

 always commands a readier sale at a higher figure and 

 withstands the summer heat better. 



Market gardeners will find it a most valuable 

 acquisition. Oz., loc; '{ lb., 25c.; lb., 85c.; 2 lbs.,

LargE White BummEr Turnip 

 or [jlDbE Radish.

 superior ; is of beautiful form, pure white skin and 

 flesh, which is very crisp and brittle ; grows quickly 

 to a large size, withstands summer heat well and will 

 give equally as good satisfaction as our New Improved 

 Large Yellow Summer Turnip, which it closely re- 

 sembles in shape. Oz., loc; 'X lb., 20c.; lb., 6oc. ; 2

White Strasburg fiadish. 



This valuable variety was first introduced by us five years ago, 

 and is now the most popular summer radish grown. It is of 

 handsome tapering shape, as shown in our illustration, both skin 

 and flesh are pure white and almost transparent, very tender and 

 of a delightful pungent taste. It can be pulled five weeks from 

 time of sowing the seed, and continues to grow without losing its 

 fine quality and remains in a tender condition longer than any 

 other summer sort. There is much cheap and spurious set- d 

 being offered. Procure your stock direct from the introducers, 

 and have it reliable. Oz., lOc: 3^ lb.. 20c.; lb., 70c.; 2 lbs., *!.:»;
