SCARLET OR CARDINAL GLOBE RADISH. 



SCAKtET, or CARDINAL GLOBE. For forcing in 

 the greenhouse hotrbeds, or cold-frames, and for sowing on 

 open borders early in the spring, there is no other red variety 

 that will pay better, as, on accountof its very attractive color 

 and shape (as shown in above photograph), it sells better 

 than most other varieties. It is one of the earliest ; in flavor 

 it is mild, crisp, juicy and tender. It forms a small top and 

 will stind a great amount of heat without becoming pithv.

FIREBALL. Oneof the finest red forcingfurnip varieties 

 ever introduced ; lias 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 market 

 or familv gardener who sows it. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; J^ lb.,

ROSY GEBI, or RAPID FORCING (Wliite Tipped 

 Scarlet Ball). Since we first introduced this wonderful 

 new radish it has won golden opinions in all sections of the 

 country. 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. Tlieir shape is per- 

 fectly globular, with rich deep i-carlet top, blending into pure 

 white at the bottom, exceedingly tender, crisp and delicious, 

 never becoming hollow or pithy, very desirable for forcing, 

 being fit to pull in three weeks from sowing. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 

 lOc; % lb., 30c.; lb., 90c. 



STARTLE, or TWENTY DAY FORCING. A dis- 

 tinct type of the well-known olive shaped radish, selected 

 by a Philadelphia market gardener. It is undoubtedly the 

 earliest forcing half-long or olive shaped variety known, 

 maturing in about twenty days. Color, brilliant red ; flesh, 

 pure white, crisp, sweet and fresh to the taste. It has a very 

 small, short top, and is alike valuable for forcing or open 

 ground. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; % lb., 30c.; lb., SI. 10. 



EARLIEST ROUND DARK RED (Scarlet Button). 

 An improved strain of the Extra Early Scarlet, of deeper 

 color and handsomer appearai.ce; very early, firm, crisp 

 and of extra fine qualitv. Pkt., oc; oz., lOc; ]4, lb., 25c.; 

 lb., 70c 



KEL;yOX S MODEL WHITE BOX KADISH, 



FELTON'S MODEL WHITE BOX RADISH. No 



radish we have ever introduced has met with so large a sale 

 and given such general satisfaction to growers as the Pblla- 

 del(iliia White Box, first named and introduced by us in 

 18S8. In the Felton's Model, however, we have a still 

 belter and more desirable radibh, selected and improved 

 by the well-known Philadelphia inaiket gardener %vliose 

 name it bears. It possesses all the excellent qualities of the 

 popular Philadelphia White Hex, but is superior in many 

 odier respects. The shape is much handsomer (as shown in 

 photograph above). It is also 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 radi.'rhes 

 in the same space, whether under glass, in frames or boxes, 

 or on squares or borders in open ground. It is indeed a 

 model, perfect in all respecis, being solid, juicy and 

 unsurpassed in flavor in all stages of growth. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 

 lOc; ^ lb., 30c.; lb., §1.00; 5 lbs. and over, 80c. per lb. 



PHILADELPHIA WHITE BOX. This variety, pre- 

 vious to our introduction of Felton's Model White Box, 

 which is superseding it, was the most popular early Wliite 

 Radish grown by Philadelphia gardeners. Its short top and 

 rapid growth especially fits it for growing under glass, in 

 frames or boxes, hence its name, as well as for early sowing 

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

 can be sown very thicklv without causing the leaves to 

 "draw." Pkt., 5c.; oz, lOc; 141b., 20c.; lb., 65c. 



NEWCOM. This new radi.sh, introduced J^y us six 

 years ago, has taken a leading place with market and family 

 gardeners. It is the earliest and largest long white radish 

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

 appearance, it readily sells at double the price of ordinary 

 varieties. Quality very superior. They hold their fine eating 

 condition four or five weeks after being fit to pull, and stand 

 heat and cold to a remarkable extent ; small top. Valuable 

 also as a summer radish. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc.; l{ lb., 25c.; 

 lb., 85c. 



Early White, Olive-Shapf d. Of fine olive shape, skin 

 and flesh white, crisp, tender and of very quick growth. 

 Pkt., oc; oz.,10c; ^ lb., 25c; lb., 7oc. 



WOOD'S EARLY FRAME. A splendid forcing va- 

 riety, earlier than the Long Scarlet, shape not quite .so long 

 and has a smaller top. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; % lb., 20c.; lb., 65c.
