RADISH 



German, Rettig;. Radiessclien. French, Radis, Ra\e, Pettie Rave. 



. , Radishes do best in a light, sandy soil. For a successive supply sow from the middle 

 of March until September, at intervals of two or three weeks. Sow in a hotbed for an 

 early supply. 



One oz. to 100 feet of drill; S to 10 lbs. per acre in drills. 



"SAXA" — ^A fiery scarlet, perfectly globular in shape, the leaves small and the root the 

 thinnest possible tail. In less than three weeks from the day of sowing is ready 

 for the table. The flesh is firm, crisp and juicy, remaining so for a long time without 

 becoming spongy. It is recommended equally for open ground culture and for forc- 

 ing, for which it was particularly developed and is especially adapted. In trials dur- 

 ing the past season with all other standard sorts Saxa proved to be at least three 

 days earlier than the earliest. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; Vi lb. 75c; % lb. $1.40; 1 lb. $2.75. 



Sparkler — A White Tipped Radish that is quite distinct, the color being a rich car- 

 mine scarlet, with a well defined clear white tip. It is well adapted for forcing 

 and open ground culture, and even when fully developed remains solid and crisp.
