Cardinal Globe Radish. 



Silver Ball Lettuce. 



DESIRABLE FORCING 

 RADISHES. 



Radish "Dreer's Earliest White 

 Globe Forcing." 



The earliest white Radish in existence, making a beautiful 

 oval-shaped Radish, with transparent ivory-white skin, very 

 small root, also small top; flesh white, tender, and crisp. 

 After two years' thorough trial, we are convinced of the supe- 

 rior quality of this sort, being one of the most attractive varie- 

 ties of an early forcing type. It is particularly adapted to forc- 

 ing in greenhouse or hot-bed, thus giving a supply through the 

 winter and early spring months ; is the quickest maturing sort 



for open ground during the spring, summer and fall. 



Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; \ lb., 30 cts.; lb., §1.00. 



Cardinal Globe Radish. 



Tlie Best Forcing Variety. 



Our seed of this leading forcing Radish is the 

 purest on the market, having been continually im- 

 proved both in color and shape. The Radishes 

 grow globular in shape, and are of a most bril- 

 liant cardinal 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. The beautiful appearance and 

 color of this Radish make it a good seller. Mar- 

 ket gardeners who have been using our strain of 

 Cardinal Globe Radish for several years past say 

 that it is the purest, finest colored, and the best 

 in every particular. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz. , 10 cts ; \ lb., 

 30 cts.; lb., $1.00, postpaid.
