Cardinal Globe. (See cut.) Those who like the crisp little 
~ red Radishes that come so early will be pleased with this 
variety. The Radishes grow globular in shape, and are of a 
most brilliant cardinal-red color. It will stand considerable 
heat; therefore, it is a quick forcer, and the quality is fine, 
being crisp and tender. It is by far the best variety for forc- 
ing, and also does well in open ground, thus making it an 
extremely valuable and desirable sort for planting in the home 
garden and for market gardeners’ use. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz.,

New Perfection. (See cut.) This type of Radish, having 
red skin with white tip, has long been a favorite, and with 
this variety the white portion extends farther up than with 
ordinary Scarlet Turnip White Tip Radish. The general 
contour is turnip-shape, and size medium, very uniform, with 
flesh crisp, tender and sparkling. The rapidity of its growth 
recommends ‘‘New Perfection’? for growing in the green- 
house, but it is equally as valuable for sowing in the garden.
