tipped with white. It is oblong in shape, and 



in quality is crisp and tender. It is a quiclj 



grower, and is an exceedingly popular variety.

594 Early Scarlet Erfurt 



This radish is quite desirable as an early sort, 

 and is particularlj- adapted to forcing. The 

 shape is somewhat similar to Earliest Scarlet. 

 The color is a vivid scarlet. The flesh is white, 

 crisp, solid and mild. It has a very small 

 top, and will bear close planting. An excel- 

 lent radish for the mariiet gardener. Packet, 

 5 cts.; ox., 10 cts.; 14 lb., 25 cts.; lb., 75 cts. 



601 White Lady Finger 



Sometimes called Long White Vienna. A fit 

 companion for Maule's Long Scarlet Short Top 

 being very much of the same character, but white 

 instead of red. It has been an extremely popu- 

 lar sort for years, and is one of the very best and 

 finest of the long white radishes. It Is graceful in 

 form, and in flavor is sweet and mild, with brittle 

 flesh. It is an especial favorite with many mar- 

 ket gardeners, "and has undoubtedly taken a fresh 

 hold upon the popular taste, 



Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; % lb., 30c.; lb., Sl.OO. 



586 Cincinnati Market 



Sometimes called Glass Radish, in allusion to 

 its brittleness. This radish is widely sown in the 

 West, and is certainly of high quality, but I find 

 that it is almost identical with my Long Scarlet. 

 In my trial grounds I can see but little difl'erence 

 between the two sorts, except it may be some- 

 what larger In size and a little darker in color. 

 Plit., 5c.; oz., 10c. ; '^ lb., aSc; lb., 85c.

Fit for use In 25 days from sowing. It is of a 

 bright red color, with white tip. Noted for its 

 crisp, tender flesh and good appearance. It is

VICK'S SCARLET GLOBE RADISH. 



597 Vick's Scarlet Globe

 tion as a forcing sort. Its peculiarity is that It 

 will bear the heiit requisite for forcing without 

 becoming pithy in character or suttering in- 

 jury to its flavor. Its color Is a rich scarlet. It 

 has a small top and is a high bred radish. 

 An excellent variety for sowing outdoors.

• 595 Early Round Dark Red 



This is a great favorite with market garden- 

 ers, on account of its size and attractive ap- 

 pearance. Its beautiful color is implied in 

 its name. It makes very rapid growth, and is 

 one of the sweetest and tenderest radishes in 

 my whole list. Market gardeners and private 

 growers as well find this variety to give entire 

 satisfaction in point of profit and general 

 good qualities. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 

 cents; % pound, 30 cents; pound, $1.00.
