 best long radishes for general planting out- 

 doors. Roots in good condition when y^ inch 

 thick and continue hard and crisp. Red above 

 and shading to clear 'white at the tip, as shown 

 in the Illustration. Large, but both brittle and 

 tender. Widely popular. This radish makes a 

 fine appearance on the market stall.

575 Triumph or Scarlet Striped 



The roots are globe-shaped, with stripes of 

 bright scarlet on a white skin. The tops are so 

 small that close planting may be practiced. 

 The flesh is tender, mild, juicy and sweet, mak- 

 ing It a very desirable table radish. Its pecul" 

 iar beauty gives the Triumph radish an un- 

 usual value. It grows easily and quickly. De- 

 sirable for outdoor planting as well as forcing- 

 Packet, 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; % lb., 40 cts.; 

 lb., $1.25, postpaid. 



LONG CARDINAL RADISH. 



A white radish, of large size, often growing 4 to .5 inches 

 in length, but they can be used when comparatively small. 

 (Tood quality, and ability to resist severe heat. This variety 

 keeps continuously crisp and tender for a very long time. 

 We always recommend White Strasburg for summer plant- 

 ing. It will grow solid, with good flavor. It is considered one 

 or the best of the large summer sorts: a well known variety, 

 largelv grown outdoois. Popular with market gardeners. 



Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 10 cts.; M lb., 30 cts.; lb., SI. 00. 



sse Cincinnati Market 



Sometimes called Glass Radish, in allusion to its brittle- 

 ness. This radish is widely sown in the AVest, and is certainly 

 of high quality, but we find that it is almost identical with 

 our Long Scarlet, In our trial grounds we can see little 

 difference between the two sorts, except it may be somewhat 

 larger in size and darker in color. 



Pacfeet, 5 cts.; ounce, 10 cts.; J:^ lb., 25 cts.; lb., 85cts. 



eoi White Lady Finger 



Sometimes called Long White Vienna. A fit companion 

 for Maule's Long Scarlet Short Top, being very much of the 

 same character, but white instead of red. An extremely 

 popular sort, and is one of the very best and finest of the 

 long %\-hite radishes. It is graceful in form, and in flavor 

 is sweet and mild, with brittle flesh. It is a favorite with 

 market gardeners. 



Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 10 cts.; Y^ lb., 30 cts.; lb., $1.00.

5S5 Maule's Earliest White 



A splendid, olive shaped radish, pure white in 

 color, which we secured in France from a prom- 

 inent grower, and is now widely popular here. 

 It is distinctly earlier than any other radish 

 grown, of any color, as will be understood when 

 we say that good sized radishes may be pulled in 

 ]'2 to 15 days from the sowing of the seed. It has 

 a small top. Is solid and crisp, of good flavor, 

 and first-class in every respect. Packet, 5 cts.; 

 ounce, 15 cts.; V^ lb., 40 cts.; lb., 81.25. 



59/ Long Cardinal 



Fit for use m 2") days from sowing. It is of a 

 bright red color, with white tip. Noted for Its 

 cri.'^p, tender Hesh and good appearance. It is 

 smooth and uniform and highly colored: the 

 contrast of brightest cardinal with the white 

 tips Is both effective and fetching. 



Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; '4 lb., 30c. ; lb„ 90c. 



Cooper's Sparkler 



The Market Gardeners' Favorite 



A new and distinct globe-shaped radish. The 

 roots, even when fully developed, are solid, 

 crisp and sweet, remaining fit for use longer 

 thau most of the other globe-shaped sorts. The 

 colors are more vivid and attractive. The up- 

 per part is a rich carmine scarlet, with a large 

 tip of the purest -white, which is quite distinct 

 from any other variety. An excellent forcing 

 sort for either greenhouse or frames or for 

 growing in the open ground. Our seed is direct 

 from the originator. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 



\^ pound, 30 cents; pound, $1.00.
