 CULTURE — One of the earliest delicacies to reach our table in the spring and one that may be enjoyed all season by a judicious 

 selection of varieties suitable for different seasons. In soil rich in humus, the little early round and olive-shaped sorts will be ready for 

 use in from 3 to 4 weeks. Earliest sowings may be made as soon as frost is out of the ground. After May 1st, sow long varieties like 

 White Icicle or Long Scarlet Short Top. After June 1st, select summer varieties like Long White Vienna, or White Delicacy, and around 

 July 1st, sow the late but also large winter radishes for a fall and winter supply. All radishes, to do their best, should be thinned out 

 to stand 2 to 6 inches apart in the row, the largest distance given applying to the large growing winter varieties. 



The Earliest Round Sorts 



770 Cardinal Globe. Among quite a number of the little red 

 Radishes available, this is easily one of the most dependable in 

 that it perfects uniform round globes within 30 to 35 days from 

 sowing seeds. It is most attractive, of brilliant cardinal red color, 

 with pure white flesh, of delicate crispness and delightful flavor. 

 Equally useful for growing under glass in frames or greenhouses 

 as well as for early outdoor sowing. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; 

 i lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.75. 



776 Crimson Ball. A dainty little Radish of mild flavor; skin 

 bright red, flesh tinged with red. It forms the root very rapidly 

 and is ready for use within 25 days. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; 

 ilb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.75. 



779 Crimson Giant. Suitable both for forcing or early planting 

 out of doors. In shape it is round to oval, and very attractive. 

 The flesh is mild and tender. Grows to larger size than any in 

 this class, yet retains its crispness and delightful flavor. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ lb., 45 cts.; lb., $1.50. 



780 Dreer's Crystal Forcing. Of remarkably quick growth, in- 

 suring crisp solid roots, perfectly round and pure white with 

 small top. Good quality, whether grown in open or under glass.

804 Earliest Red May. Makes a remarkably quick growth and is 

 ready for the table within 3 weeks after sowing seeds. The 

 Radishes are of a desirable size and uniform in shape, with small 

 tops and of excellent flavor. This is a splendid variety for the 

 earliest crop, either outdoors or for forcing under glass. Pkt.,

 both under glass or outdoor culture. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; 

 | lb., 45 cts.; lb., $1.50. 



Cardinal Globe Radish 



795 New Perfection. This type of Radish, having red skin 

 with a white tip, has long been a great favorite, and with this 

 variety the white portion extends much farther up than is 

 the case 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 greenhouse, but it is equally as valuable for sowing in the 

 vegetable garden. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; i lb., 50 cts.; 

 lib., $1.75. 



"798 Slew Ruby. (See Specialties, page 8.) Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 

 20 cts.; \ lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.75. 



800 Philadelphia White Box. A good turnip-shaped white 

 variety, remarkably long standing for an early variety. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ lb., 45 cts.; lb., $1.50. 



825 White-tipped Scarlet Gem. Leaves short and excellent 

 for forcing; color bright scarlet with white tip. It is a very 

 handsome variety and exceedingly rapid grower. Also listed 

 as "Rosy Gem" in many catalogs. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; 

 ilb., 45 cts.; lb., $1.50. 



For a steady supply of crisp solid roots, sow 

 Radish seed every two weeks.
