Philadelphia Gardeners' 



Long Scarlet Short 



Top Radish. 



This very excellent new 



Ntrain is the result of years of 

 pjitient and careful selection. 

 There is just as much difference 

 between this strain and the 

 European, which has heretofore 

 been America's only source of 

 supply, as there is between the 

 .\merican and European grown 

 potato. Briefly stated, the im- 

 provements are these: it is fully 

 six days earlier, has a 

 sliorter and more compact 

 top, will remain in the ground 

 longer without becoming pithy 

 orgoing to seed. In shape it is 

 somewhat shorter and thicker, 

 thus enabling it to withstand 

 transportation better, which is 

 a very desirable feature. In 

 color the upper portion is of an 

 unusually deep brilliant 

 red, which gradually shades 

 to a deep waxy pink towards 

 the tip. Owing to Its handsome 

 shape, brilliant color and fine 

 eating qualities, it invariably 

 commands a higher price 

 and more ready sale than the 

 European Long Scarlet as 

 generally sold. Market garden- 

 ers everywhere should try this 

 fine strain. No other can 

 equal it. Oz., 5c.; }4 lb., 20c.;

PMladelphia White "Box" Radish. 



This variety is the most popular early White Radish 

 grown by Philadelphia market gardeners. It is much 

 superior and entirely new and distinct from any early white 

 turnip radish. Its points of superiority are remarkably 

 short top, rapid growth, perfect turnip shape, extra 

 fine quality, and showing no disposition whatever to become 

 pithv with age, but, on the contrary, remains solid and juicy 

 long"after fullv grown. Its short top and rapid growth especi- 

 ally fits it for growing under glass, in frames or "boxes," 

 hence its name, as well as early sowing on squares or borders 

 in the open ground. Owing to its very few short leaves, it 

 can be sown very thickly in the row without causing the 

 leaves to "draw." Fully one-half more radishes can be 

 grown in the same space of this sort than any other, which 

 makes it extremely valuable to those engaged in forcing 

 tinder gla«s, Oz., 10c. ; H lb,, 20c.; lb., 65c.; 5 lbs. and over,

No radish we have ever introduced has met 

 vyith so large a sale and gave such general satis- 

 faction to growers as the Philadelphia White 

 Box, first named and introduced by us in i888. 

 Our customers will no doubt be surprised to find 

 we offer this season for the first, a still better and 

 more desirable radish, selected and improved by 

 the well-known Philadelphia market gardener 

 whose name it bears. It possesses all the excellent 

 qualities of the now popular Philadelphia White 

 Box, and is superior in the following respects : 



Firstly. — The shape is rounder and much hand- 

 somer, as shown in our engraving made from 

 nature. 



Secondly. — It is earlier, with fewer and shorter 

 leaves, hence it can be sown more thickly in the 

 row, enabling the grower to raise at least one-third 

 more radishes in the same space, whether under 

 glass, in frames or boxes, or on squares or borders 

 in open ground. 



77;z>(f/y.— Felton's Model White Box Radish 

 is indeed a model, perfect in all respects, being 

 solid, juicy and unsurpassed in flavor in all stages 

 of growth. Try it.
