RADISH. 



Radieshen, Retticj, Ger. Radis, Rave, Petite Rave, Fr. Rabana, Sp. 

 One ounce of seed will sow ioo feet of drill. 

 CULTURE. — Sow early and often. In good, warm, fibrous loam, especially if quite sandy, summer Radishes will make a 

 crop in 4 to 6 weeks from sowing. The soil should be well prepared, and fertilizers may be used freely. Have the rows a foot 

 apart, and sow just seed enough so they will not require thinning. Any little spot that becomes available during summer may be 

 utilized for planting Radishes. The short or turnip-rooted sorts are quickest and easiest to grow, and good for forcing also. On 

 greenhouse bench or in frames the rows need not be more than 4 inches apart. Sow winter Radishes in July and August. They 

 grow best in the cooler autumn weather. Take them up before severe freezing and store in sand in the cellar, or in a pit, where 

 they will keep tender and crisp all winter.

 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 cardi- 

 nal-red color. It will stand considerable 

 heat; therefore it is a quick forcer, and 

 the quality is fine, being crisp and ten- 

 der. It is by far the best variety for forc- 

 ing, and also does well in open ground.

 lb., $1.00. 

 Dreer's Crimson Ball. A dainty little 

 Radish, of mild flavor; skin bright red,

 or out-of-door planting. Pkt., 10 cts.;

 est and best of the Turnip varieties for

 lent for forcing; short leaves, bright

 and tender, beautiful scarlet color tipped with white. Its rapid 

 growth and small top make it a good forcer. Pkt., 5 cts.; 

 oz., 10 cts.; J lb., 30 cts.; lb., 85 cts. 



Dreer's First and Best Radish. An attractive half-long 

 Radish of very early maturity. The color is a rich deep scar- 

 let, size medium, making it very dainty. The tops are small, 

 and roots grow uniform in size and shape, tapering to a point. 

 The quality is fine, being delightfully crisp and juicy. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; J lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.25. 



Earliest Red May. This variety produces the small, round 

 Radishes very quickly. The tops are quite small, and when 



. the Radishes are bunched they make a very attractive appear- 

 ance. The flavor is fine, being crisp and tender. Pkt., 10 

 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; J lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.25. 



Earliest White May. Similar to the "Red May," except in 

 color, which is pure white. The top is small, and the Rad- 

 ishes are of fine form and excellent flavor. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 

 15 cts.; J lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.25. 



Icicle Radish. (See cut.) These Radishes are transparent 

 white, have small tops, allowing close planting, and are very 

 crisp and brittle. A feature greatly in its favor is that it re- 

 mains in good condition while growing for a long time, thus 

 allowing a continuous pulling from the same planting. Pkt..
