Dreer's Reliable VEGETABLE SEEDS 



The Earliest Round Red Radishes 



770 Cardinal Globe 



Few other radishes exhibit such remarkable uniformity in 

 shape, size, and quahty. 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; i lb. 50c; lb. $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. 15c; | 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.

CULTURE— Earliest sowings may be made as soon as frost 

 is out of the ground. 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.
