Radish — Cooper's 

 Sparkler 



A new variety of an entirely distinct type. In 

 shape it is globular; the top is very short, thus 

 making it adaptable for forcing, although equally 

 as good for outside planting. The color is a rosy 

 carmine, with a fine white tip. Its rapid growth 

 makes a fine crisp radish, as early as the scarlet 

 turnip. The Sparkler will keep long in good con- 

 dition, and can be grown the year round if suc- 

 cessive sowings are made. 



Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., ^4 lb. 35 cts., lb.

New White Icicle Radish 



An entirely distinct variety from Germany, and 

 derives its name from the almost transparent 

 whiteness of the roots. It produces long, slender, 

 pure white radishes very early in the season, 

 much earlier and finer in quality than any other 

 long white variety. The shape is well shown in 

 our illustration. The leaves are short and few, 

 also making it an excellent variety for forcing. 

 It is of the best flavor, very brittle and crisp. 

 The roots grow about four inches long and are 

 ready for use in about three weeks from the time 

 of sowing. It is a desirable variety for the home 

 garden and market gardeners will find it a money 

 maker. It is destined to become very popular 

 with growers. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., % lb. 

 35 cts., lb. $1.00. 



Crimson Giant Radish 



This new variety suitable for forcing or early 

 planting out of doors. It grows to double the 

 size of other forcing varieties without becoming 



pithy or hollow. 



The Radishes run trom 6 to 7 inches in cir- 

 cumference and yet remain firm and crisp, free 

 from all signs of becoming soft. Root turnip- 

 sViaped, color a beautiful crimson carmine, with 

 pure white flesh, tender and juicy. We are cer- 

 tain it will become a great favorite with all who 

 plant it.
