JOHNSON & STOKES OLIVE SCAKLET FORCING RADISH. 



Johnson & Stokes' Olive Scarlet 



A decided improvement on the ordinary deep scarlet, 

 olive-sliaped radish, selected and perfected by a Philadelphia 

 market grower. The tops are so small that the radishes may 

 almost stand touching each other in the rows. Its fine shape, 

 as shown in photograph above, is not its only superior 

 quality, but it is the handsomest in color of all deep red sorts, 

 selling better than any other early sort in Philadelphia 

 markets. This is one of our new varieties, which tends to 

 make our vegetables all so popular with gardeners every- 

 where. Pkt., oc; oz., lOc; I4 lb., .30e.: lb., SI. 00. 



FELTON'S MODEL, WHITE BOX RADISH. The 

 Felton's Model possesses all the excellent qualities of the 

 popular Philadelpliia Wlilte Box, butissuperior in being 

 much handsomer and earlier, with fewer and shorter leaves ; 

 hence it can be sown more thick I v in the row, enabling the 

 grower to raise at least one-third more radishes in the same 

 .space, under glass, in boxes, or open ground. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 

 lOc; I4 lb., 25c.; lb., 75c., postpaid; 5 lbs., $3.00, by express.
