SCARLET OR CARDINAL QLOBE RADISH 



The Scarlet or Cardinal Globe is our most important market gardeners' forcing radish. The roots are fit for use 

 three weelss from the time of sowing. For forcing in greenhouses, hot beds or cold frames, and for sowing in the open 

 ground early in the spring, it is unequ;illed and very popular. The bulbs are round or slightly olive-shnpe and a rich, deep 

 scarlet color, with white and tender flesh. On account of its very attractive color and shape, it. sells better than most 

 other sorts. It is mild, cHsp, juicj' and tender. It forms a very small top and does not become pithy.

FELTON'S MODEL WHITE BOX RADISH 



Felton's Model possesses»all the excellent qualities of 

 the old Philadelphia White Box, but is superior in being 

 much handsomer and earlier, with fewer and shorter leaves; 

 hence it can be sown more thickly in the row, enabling tlie 

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

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

 lOc; '4 lb., 30c.; lb., 90c., postpaid ; 5 lbs., $3.75, by express. 



THE COMET— A New French Radish 



Since we first introduced, a few years since, this superior 

 new, early, long white radish, we have received hundreds of 

 letters unqualifiedly endorsing it as by far the earliest, hand- 

 somest and best in quality of any of its class. In our own 

 trials it has never failed to give good edible radishes in 

 twefity days from sowing.and has remained in fineeondiiion 

 for use longer than any other extra early variety. We oft' r 

 choice seed grown for us by the originator in France. Pkt,,

JOHNSON & STOKES' OLIVE SCARLET 

 RADISH 



A decided improvement on the ordinary deep scarlet 

 olive-shaped radish, selected and perfected by a Philadel- 

 phia market grower. The tops are so small that thfe radishes 

 may almost stand touching each other in the rows. Its tine 

 shape is not its only superior quality, but it is the handsomest 

 incolorof alldeep red sorts, selling b^ter in market than 

 other olive-shaped sorts. It is also the best early red radish 

 for the home garden, being unusually crisp and tender.

 $5.00, by express.
