THE STARTLE, OK TWENTY DAY FORCING. A 



new and distinct type of the well-known olive-shaped 

 radish, selected by a Philadelphia market gardener. It is 

 undoubtedly the earliest and finest forcing half-long or 

 olive-shaped variety known, maturing in about twenty days. 

 Color, brilliant red ; flesh, pure white, erisp, sweet and fresh 

 to the taste. It has a very small, short top, and is alike 

 valuable for forcing or open ground. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 15c.; ^4, 

 lb., 35c.; lb., 81.25. 



EARLY SCARLET GLOBE. For forcing in the green- 

 house, hot-beds or cold frames, and for sowing on open 

 borders 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 

 commands a much higher price, and will sell "three to one'' 

 compared with any ordinary red sort. Pkt., 5c.; oz.,10c.; 34 

 lb.,2oc.; lb., 75c. 



NEWCOM. Thisnew Radish, introduced byustwo years 

 ago, has alrea<iy taken a leading place with our market and 

 family gardeners. It is the earliest, largest white radish 

 known. Owing to their beautiful half-long shape and fine 

 appearance they readily sell at double the prices of ordinary 

 varieties. Its quality is very .superior and they hold theirfine 

 eating condition for four or five weeks after being fit to pull. 

 They stand heat and drought to a remarkable extent. Have a 

 small top and slow to run to seed. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; % lb., 

 25c.; lb., 7Je. 



Extra Early Scarlet Turnip. A round, deep scarlet, 

 turnip-shaped, small-top variety, of quick growth ; mild and 

 ■crisp when young. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; J^ lb., 20c.; lb., 55c. 



PHILADELPHIA GAR- 

 DENERS' LONG SCARLET 



SUORT-TOP. This very ex- MkC ?Y,XMl -\l/(^f 



celleiit new strain is the re- 

 sult of years of patient and care- 

 ful selection. There is just as 



much difference between this 



strain and the European, whi,clt, 



has heretofore been Anierica's 



only source of supply, as there 



is between the Ai^ierican 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 go- j 



ingtoseed. In shape it is some- I 



what shorter and thicker, thus 



enabling it to withstand trans- 

 portation better, which is a very 



desirable feature. In color the 



upper porti<in is of an imusu- 



ally 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 com- 

 mands a liigher price and 

 more ready sale than the Euro- 

 pean Long Scarlet as generally 

 sold. Market gardeners every- 

 where should try this fiije 

 strain. No other can equal 

 it. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; % lb., 

 25c.; lb., 80c.; 5 lbs., $3.25. 



NEVk^ WHITE LADY- 

 FINGER RADISH. This is 

 unquestionably th« finest 

 long white radish in culii- 

 vation. Shape mostattractlve 

 and handsome, as shown in our 

 illustration, while in color it is 

 a beautiful snow white. It is 

 of very rapid growth, and its 

 fine white flesh is remai-kably 

 crisp, brittle and tender, 

 equally desirable for the mar- 

 ket or home garden. Sow 

 Lady-Finger once and you 

 will sove it always. Pkt., 5c.; 

 oz., 15c.; i,i lb., 30c.; lb., Sl.OO. 



PHILADELPHIA 

 W^HITE "BOX" RADISH. 

 This variety is the most popu- 

 lar Early White Radish grown 

 by Philadelphia gardeners. It 

 is much superior and en- 

 tirely distinct from any early 

 white turnip radish heretofore 

 offered. Its points of super- 

 iority are remarkably short 

 top, rapid growth, perfect 

 turnip shape, extra fine 

 quality, and showing no dis- 

 position whatever to become 

 pithy with age, but, on the 

 contrary, remains solid and 

 juicy long after fully grown. 

 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 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."

EARLY ROUND DARK RED. An improved strain

 tip. "Very handsome. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; 34 lb, 20c.; lb.,55c.

 der and beautiful, oval shape; scarlet, tipped 'with white; a
