SUMMER VARIETIES 



This class requires longer to perfect the product, but the roots 



have firmer flesh and remain in fit table condition very much longer 



than any of the early sorts offered on page 41. 



Icicle. Were we obliged to get along with just one variety of 

 Radish, it would be Icicle. Not only are the long slender white 

 roots developed quickly, but they remain in perfect condition for 

 eating longer than those of any other early Radish regardless of 

 color or shape. Moreover, Icicle is as good during July or August 

 as earlier in the season. In this respect it is unique, since most 

 early Radishes do not stand summer heat. Icicle is ready for use 

 within 40 days after seeds are sown, and remains in good con- 

 dition for the best part of two weeks after obtaining full average 

 size, which is five inches long by J of an inch thick through at the 

 top. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz, 20cts.; Jib., 60 cts.; lb., S2.00. 



Dreer's White Delicacy. A very attractive, oblong sort of 

 e.icceedingly fine flavor and crisp te.xture. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 

 20 cts.; i'lb., 60 cts.; lb., S2.00. 



Long White Vienna, or Lady Finger. Skin and flesh are 

 pure white; crisp and of rapid growth. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 

 20 cts.; }lb., SOcts.; lb., $1.75. 



White Strasburg. Grows quite large — 10 inches long by 3 to 

 4 inches in diameter at the top. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 

 ilb.,4S cts.; lb., SI. SO. 



Beckert's Chartier. An exceedingly handsome long red sort 

 with attractive long white tap-root. One of the best for mid- 

 summer use. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; J lb., 45 cts.; lb., $1.50. 



Winter Radishes 



Generally sown around July Isl, the same as turnips. The 

 Chinese type develops most rapidly, while the Spanish sorts require 

 about 3 months to reach full size, but they keep the best part of the 

 winter. 



White Chinese, or Celestial. Splendid for late fall and early 

 winter use. Roots globe-shaped, sometimes cylindrical, and 

 even when fully developed (6 to 8 inches in diameter) the 

 Radishes are solid, crisp and of a mild flavor. Skin and flesh 

 pure white. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20cts.; i lb., SOcts.; lb., SI. 75. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; 



One ounce for 50 feet of drill. 

 CULTURE — Succeed best in light, well-enriched mellow soil. Sow early in the 

 spring in drills 15 inches apart, 1 inch deep; thin to 4 inches in rows. Used the same 

 as Carrots, or, after having been boiled, make into cakes and fry like oysters, which 

 they resemble in flavor. Cultivate the same as carrots or parsnips; it is hardy; can 

 remain in the ground all winter for early spring use, but should be taken up before it 

 starts new growth. 



Mammoth Sandwich Island. Grows to very large size, resembling a good- 

 sized Parsnip. It is very mild and delicately flavored, hence very popular. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; §oz., 20cts.; oz., 30cts.; J lb., 85 cts.; lb., S3.00.

 cts.; oz., 40cts.; ilb., S1.2S; lb., S4.50.

Oseille, Fr. Acedcra, SP. Sauerampfer, Ger. 



CULTURE — Used for soups and salads on account of its pleasant acid flavor. Sow 

 seed in any good garden soil, in shallow drills a foot apart. Thin plants to a few inches
