 One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill. 



CULTURE— One of the earliest delicacies to reach our table 

 in the spring and one that may be enjoyed all season long by a 

 judicious selection of varieties suitable or 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, continue by sowing White Icicle. After June 1st, select any of 

 the summer varieties, 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. 



795 New Perfection. An improvement over the well-know n 

 Sparkler and White-Tip Scarlet Radishes. Grows a round solid 

 root quickly and is good for under glass or in the open. A 

 bright scarlet with lower half pure white, making it very 

 attractive. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c: \ lb. 40c; lb. SI. 25. 



Cardinal Globe Radish 



770 Cardinal Globe 



Few other radishes exhibit such remarkable uniformity in 

 shape, size, and quality. Produces perfectly round globes 

 within 30 days after sowing. The radishes when overgrown 

 show a tendency to become elongated or olive-shaped, j'et 

 they remain in good condition for about a week or 10 days 

 longer than the average round red variety. Brilliant cardinal 

 red skin and pure white flesh of delicate crispness and de- 

 lightful flavor. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; \ lb. 50c; lb. $1.50. 



779 Crimson Giant. Suitable both for forcing or early 

 planting out of doors. The shape is round to oval, and very 

 attractive. The flesh is mild and tender. Grows to larger 

 size than any other in this class, yet retains its crispness 

 and solidity for a remarkably long time. One of the most 

 dependable red Radishes for both amateur and professional 

 growers. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; \ lb. 40c; lb. $1.23. 



784 Glowing Ball 



We recommend this new Radish most highly to our cus- 

 tomers as we are sure that it will please them whether grown 

 outdoors in the garden, or forced under glass. The attractive, 

 perfectly round radishes have a very small top and a remark- 

 ably small tap root. The outstanding feature of this radish, 

 however, is its unusually brilliant orange-scarlet color and the 

 enticing, crisp, snappy flavor of its icy white, tasty flesh. It 

 is a delight to the eve and to the palate. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 

 \ lb. 50c; lb. SI. 50. 



798 New Ruby. This variety does not attain a large size but 

 is very attractive and quickly forms a root to a condition 

 suitable for eating. The shape is nearly round. Deep red 

 skin and crisp white flesh of an agreeably snappy yet mild 

 flavor. The tops are not large and it is a good variety for 

 forcing. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; J lb. 40c; lb. SI. 25. 



726 Crimson Ball. A dainty little Radish of mild flavor with 

 bright red skin and white flesh tinged with red. Pkt. 10c; 

 oz. 15c; \ lb. 35c; lb. SI. 15. 



804 Earliest Red May. Very early, clear scarlet roots with 

 small tops. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; 1 lb. 40c; lb. SI. 35. 



825 White Tipped Scarlet Gem. Bright scarlet with white 

 tip. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; 1 lb. 35c; lb. SI. 15. 



The Earliest Round White Sorts 



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

 insuring crisp, solid, perfectly round, pure white roots with 

 small top. Makes a pleasing contrast when served with a 

 red variety. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; \ lb. 40c; lb. SI. 25. 



800 Philadelphia White Box. An old favorite in the 

 Philadelphia region. A good turnip-shaped white variety 

 retaining its fine eating qualities very long for an early variety.
