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 Tows a foot 
apart, and sow just seed enough so that 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 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 car- 
dinal-red color. It will stand consider- 
able heat; therefore it is a quick forcer, 
and the quality is fine, being crisp and 
tender. It is by far the best variety for 
forcing, 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 gar- 
deners’ use. Pkt., 10 cts.; 0z., 25 cts.;

mild flavor; skin bright red, flesh tinged with red. It forms the 
root very rapidly and is ready for use ina short time, and the 
rich color of the skin is a strikiug feature. The quality is ex- 
cellent, the flesh being tender and juicy, which qualities it re- 
tains for some time. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; } lb., 70

best of the early red Turnip varieties. Very short-leaved,

beautiful shape; small top. A very desirable and shapely

white forcing Radish. Compared to such white sorts as 
White Box, Round White Forcing, etc., itis far superior, 
both as to quickness of growth and fine quality. Pkt., 10 
cts.; 0z., 25 cts.; } lb., 75 cts.; lb., $2.50.
