 SCARLET

No. 884. Long Scarlet White Tip. Days to Maturity, 28. 

 A variety introduced by Ferry in 1891 under the name of Early 

 Long Brightest Scarlet. Owing to the similarity in this name to 

 Long Scarlet, and owing to a very general tendency to be white 

 tipped, the name. Long Scarlet White Tip, has come into general 

 use. It is a variety with the root four and one-half inches long, 

 cyUndrical, smooth and uniform. The color is a brilliant scarlet 

 within, perhaps, one inch of the bottom of the root, which 

 will be white. It is shghtly earlier than Icicle, and will become 

 pithy in a correspondingly shorter time. For all general purposes, 

 this variety is more desirable than Long Scarlet.

No. 886. White Icicle. Days to Maturity, 30. An old 

 American variety. The root will attain a length of about five and 

 one-half inches, tapering regularly from near the shoulder to the tip 

 holding this thickness for nearly its entire 

 length, the thickest part being about one inch 

 from the top. It will hold a week to ten days 

 before becoming pithy. The color is a pure 

 white, ahnost transparent, maturing five days 

 later than Scarlet Globe and five days earlier 

 than White Box. Having an attractive ap- 

 pearance and fine eating qualities, this variety 

 is widely popular.

No. 888. Long Scarlet. Days>o Ma- 

 turity, 30. One of the oldest varieties knowTi 

 in this country, having been hsted by Minton 

 Collins in 1793. The bright scarlet root will 

 attain a length of from five to six inches, hav- 

 ing a diameter of one inch. The flesh is crisp 

 and tender. Care must be taken not to allow 

 this variety to remain too long after attaining 

 its fuU growth, for it is hkely to become 

 pithy after a week's time.

No. 890. Crimson Giant. Days to 

 Maturity, 32. A comparatively new variety, 

 having been offered by Breck in 1905. Ma- 

 turing, as it does, one week after Scarlet 

 Globe, it will hold proportionately longer be- 

 fore becoming pithy. It is a radish nearly 

 twice the size of Scarlet Globe. It is round, 

 bright crimson, attaining a maximum size, be- 

 fore becoming pithy, of one and three-quarters 

 inches long by one and one-quarter inches in 

 diameter. Crimson Giant is highly recom-

No. 892. White Box. Days to Matur- 

 ity, 35. A variety introduced by Johnson & 

 Stokes in 1888. Owing to its short tip and 

 rapid growth, it is a variety especially suited 

 for growing under glass in frames or "boxes," 

 hence its name. This radish wiU attain a size 

 of two and one-half inches in diameter before 

 It is one of the most largely

Its beautiful ivory-white ap- 

 pearance and the fact that it 

 wiU remain in condition long- long 

 er after maturity than any of scarlet 

 the other radishes, no doubt, 

 is responsible for its wide popularity. 

 In shape, the root of the White Box is 

 nearly round. The interior of the root 

 is pure white, pungent in flavor, but 

 very firm and crisp.

No. 894. White Strasbourg. Days to Matur- 

 ity, 40. A variety first introduced in this country by 

 Johnson & Stokes in 1885. As a large summer radish 

 desirable for late planting when earlier and smaller varieties wiU not 

 keep imder satisfactory conditions, it is very desirable. The maxi- 

 mum size of root before becoming pithy is about five inches in 

 length and one and one-half inches in diameter. It will hold before 

 becoming pithy from ten days to two weeks. One-fifth of the root 

 usually grows above the ground.

No. 896. Chattier or Shepherd. Days to Maturity, 45. A variety 

 listed by Thorbum 

 as early as 1865. 

 It is a summer 

 radish somewhat 

 similar to the Long 

 Scarlet White Tip. 

 As compared to 

 that variety, it is 

 lighter in color, 

 being a dull pink 

 for two-thirds of 

 its length, shading 

 to a pure white at 

 the tip. It will 

 remain in condi- 

 tion much longer 

 after maturity 

 than that variety, 

 and is thus more 

 desirable for sum- 

 mer planting. It is 

 not recommended 

 for spring plant- 

 ing.
