 greenhouse, 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 entirely distinct and one of the earliest ; 

 in flavor it is mild, crisp, juicy and tender. It forms a sniall

 short top. Color, brilliant scarlet, crisp, solid, tender, and of

PHILADELPHIA AVHITE 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 thickly without causing the leaves to 

 " draw." Pkt.. oc; oz., lOc; ^4 lb., 25c.; lb., 80c. 



ROSY GEM, or RAPID FORCING (White 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 

 soniewhat resembles in form and color. Their shape is per- 

 fectly globular, with rich deep scarlet top, blending into pure 

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

 never becoming hollow or pithy, very de.sirable for forcing, 

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

 lOc; 14 lb., 35c.; lb., $1.2.5. 



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; 34 lb., 35c.; lb., $1.25.

PHILADELPHIA <JARDENERS' LONG SCAR- 

 LET. This very excellent 

 new strain is the result of 

 years of patient and careful 

 .^election. It is a great ini- 

 proveinent over the old Long 

 Scarlet, being fully six days 

 earlier, has a shorter and 

 more compact top, will re- 

 main in the ground longer 

 without becoming pithy or 

 going to seed. In shape it is 

 somewhatshorter and thicker, 

 thus enabling it to withstand 

 transportation better. In color 

 the upper portion is of an 

 unusually deep brilliant 

 red, which gradually shades 

 to a deep waxy pink towards 

 the tip. Owing to its hand- 

 someshape, brilliant colorand 

 fine eating qualities, it com- 

 mands a higlier price ,and 

 more ready sale than the 

 Eui-opean Long Scarlet. No 

 other can equal it. Pkt.,
