EARLY SCARLET GLOBE. For forcing in the green- 
house, hot-beds or cold frames and for sowing on open bor- 
ders early in the spring there is no other red variety more 
desirable. It is one of the earliest; in flavor it is mild, crisp, 
juicy and tender. It forms a small top and will stand a great 
amount of heat without becoming pithy. It always com- 
mands a much higher price and willsell “three to one”’ com- 
pared with any ordinary red sort. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; 44 lb., 
25e.; Ib., 75e. 
EARLY ROUND DARK RED. An improved strain 
of the Extra Early Scarlet, of deeper color and handsomer 
appearance; very early, firm, crisp and of extra fine quality.

FELTON’S MODEL WHITE BOX. The best cally,

white radish. Truly a model. See Novelties, page 6. 
10e.; oz., 15¢.; 14 Ib., 35¢.; 1b., $1.25. 
PHILADELPHIA GAR- 
DENERY’ LONG SCARLET 
SHORT-TOP. This very ex- 
cellent new strain is the re- 
sult of years of patientand care- 
ful 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 American and 
European grown potato. 
Briefly stated, the improve- 
ments are these: it is fully six 
days earlier, has a shorter 
and more compact top, will 
remain in the ground longer 
without becoming pithy or 
going 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 briiliant 
red, which gradually shades 
to adeep waxy pink towards 
the tip. Owing to its hand- 
some shape, brilliant color and 
fine eating qualities, it invari- 
ably commands a higher 
price and more reidy sale 
than the European Long Sear- 
let as generally sold. Market 
gardeners everywhere should 
try this fine strain. No other 
can equal it. Pkt., 5¢; 0z., 
10c.; 14 lb., 25e.; Ib., 75¢.; 5 Ibs., 
$3.00. 
NEW WHITE LADY- 
FINGER RADISH. This is 
unquestionabiy the finest 
long white radish in culti- 
vation. Shape most attractive 
and handsome, as Shown in our 
illustration, while in color it is 
a beautiful snow white. Itis 
of very rapid growth and its 
fine white flesh is remark- 
ably crisp, brittle and tender, 
equally desirable for the mar- 
ket or home garden. Sow 
Lady-Finger once and you 
willsowitalways. Pkt.,5c.; 
oz., 10¢.; 4% lb., 25e.; Ib., 75e. 
NEWCOM. This new 
radish, introduced by us three 
years ago, has already taken a 
leading place with our market 
and family gardeners. It is 
the earliest, largest white rad- 
ish known. Owing to their 
beautiful half-long shape and 
fine appearance they readily 
sell at double the prices of 
ordinary varieties. Quality 
very superior and they hold 
their fine eating condition four 
or five weeks after being fit to 
pull. They stand heat and 
drought to a remarkable ex- 
tent, small top and slow to run 
toseed. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; 14 
Ib., 25e.; lb., 75e. 
Extra Early Scarlet Tur- 
nip. A round, deep scarlet, 
turnip-shaped, small-top vari- 
ety, of quick growth; mild and 
erisp when young. Pkt., 5c.;

Philadelphia White “‘Box”—Fireball—Rosy Gem. 
PHILADELPHIA WHITE “BOX.” This variety, 
previous to our introduction of Felton’s Model White Box, 
which is superseding it, was the most popular Early White 
Radish grown by Philadelphia gardeners. Itisentirely distinet 
from any early white turnip radish heretofore offered. Its 
short top and rapid growth especially fits it for growing under 
glass, in frames or ‘‘ boxes,”’ hence its name, as well as early 
sowing on squaresor 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.’’ Pkkt., 5¢.; 0z.,, 
10e.; 4 Ib., 25ce.; lb., 75e. 
NEW FIREBALL. Thisis one of the finest red forcing 
turnip radishes ever introduced; has a very small short top, 
color brilliant scarlet, crisp, solid, tender, and of fine flavor. 
It is alike valuable for out-door planting early in the spring- 
or in the autumn, and will always command ready sale at 
good prices throughout the year. It will not disappoint a 
Single customer who sows it, whether he be a market or 
family gardener. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; 14 lb., 30¢.; Ib., $1.00. 
ROSY GEM (White Tipped Scarlet Ball). This. 
wonderful new radish has won golden opinions in all sec- 
tions of the country. The illustration above will give some 
idea of their great beauty. It is one of the very earliest in 
cultivation, being a week earlier than Scarlet Turnip White 
Tipped, which it somewhat resembles in form and color. 
Their shape is perfectly globular, with rich deep scarlet top, 
blending into pure white at the bottom, exceedingly tender, 
crisp and delicious, never becoming hollow or pithy 
very desirable for growing under giass, being fit to pull in 
fifteen to twenty days from sowing, and should be planted by 
everybody. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; 144 1b., 30e.; lb., $1.00.
