Radies, Ger. 



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 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.

red Radishes that come so early will be pleased with this 



variety. The Radishes grow globular in shape, and are of a 



most brilliant cardinal-red color. It will stand considerable 



heat; therefore, it is a quick forcer, and the quality is fine, 



being crisp and tender. It is by far the best variety for forc- 

 ing, 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 gardeners' use. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 20 



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

 Earliest Red May. An exceedingly attractive Radish which

in the kitchen garden and also suitable for forcing under glass.
