VEGETABLE SEEDS 
Radish 
Crisp, Piquant, Appetizing 
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 for 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 Ist, 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.

The Earliest Round Red Radishes 
a « 
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 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- 
lightful flavor. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; ¢1b. 50c; 1b. $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. 20c; % Ib. 45c; Ib. $1.25. 
Crimson Giant Radish 
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; } 1b. 40c; lb. $1.25. 
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; 4 lb. 40c; lb. $1.25. 
776 Crimson Ball. A dainty little Radish of mild flavor with 
bright red skin and white flesh tinged with red. Pkt. 10c;

The Earliest Round White Sorts 
780 Dreer’s Crystal Forcing. Of remarkably quick growth, 
insuring crisp, solid, perfectly round, pure white roots with 
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 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; 
3 lb. 50c; lb. $1.50. 
800 Philadelphia White Box. 
small top. Makes a pleasing contrast when served with a 
red variety. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; } lb. 40c; Ib. $1.25. 
An old favorite in the 
Philadelphia region. A good turnip-shaped white variety 
retaining its fine eating qualities very long for an early variety.
