Radis, Rave, Fr.

 Radies, Ger. 



One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill. 



CULTURE— Earliest sowings may be made as soon as frost 

 is out of the ground. Cover seed about j inch. 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. 



770 Cardinal Globe 



Few other radishes exhibit such remarkable uniformity in 

 shape, size, and quality. Produces perfect solid globes 

 within 25 days after sowing. The radishes when fully grown 

 show a tendency to become elongated or olive-shaped, yet 

 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- 

 hghtful flavor. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; i lb. 50c; lb. $1.50. 



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

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

 oz. 15c; I lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 



Crimson Giant Radish 



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; i lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 



784 Glowing Ball 



These attractive, perfectly round radishes have a very small 

 top and a remarkably small taproot. The outstanding features 

 of this Radish, however, are its unusually brilliant orange- 

 scarlet color and the enticing, crisp, snappy flavor of its tasty, 

 icy white flesh. It is a delight to the eye and to the palate. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; J lb. 45c; lb. $1.25. 



795 New Perfection. An improvement over the well-known 

 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; i lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 



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; i lb. 40c; lb. $1.25.
