White Box Radish 



RADISH 



One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet; 

 9 pounds will sow an acre 



Damage by heat and insects to the California and Michigan 

 Radish, together with the European crop, which is almost a total 

 failure, is going to make it necessary for us to eliminate a few of the 

 varieties we have carried in the past. We have quite fair stocks of 

 the varieties listed below, but at the same time, they are not so 

 large as we should like to see them at the beginning of the season 

 and they may not hold olit. The reputation we have held for some 

 time past for good Radish seed we believe will not be impaired bj' 

 anything we are offering this season. Germination is guaranteed 

 satisfactory and we have every reason for believing the types will 

 prove to be up to our former standard. 



875 Scarlet Globe 



Probably in larger general use for all purposes than any other 

 Radish. Scarlet Globe is of a rich, bright scarlet; the shape is short 

 olive-shaped or short oval, and the top is small. Under favorable 

 conditions it will mature about five days after the Earliest Scarlet 

 Forcing, but under unfavorable conditions it will take at least 

 thirty days before maturing. Its maximum size before becoming 

 pithy is inches long by % inch in diameter. As compared 



with Scarlet Olive-Shaped it is shorter, slightly lighter in color 

 and about two days earlier in maturing. The interior of the root 

 is pure white, mild, crisp and fine-grained. Its season is rather 

 short and it must be pulled reasonably soon after maturity. Pkt. 

 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., y4lh. 50 cts., lb. $1.75, postpaid. 



Scarlet Globe Radish 



881 White Box 



One of the most largely grown Radishes for outdoor cultivation. 

 The active demand for it is, no doubt, due entirely to its beautiful 

 ivory-white appearance and to the fact that it will probably remain 

 in condition longer after maturity than any other of the smaller 

 Radishes, for it will attain a size, under normal conditions, of 2J/2 

 inches in diameter before becoming pithy. In shape White Box is 

 round or nearly globular. It will mature in about thirty-five days 

 from planting. The interior of the root is pure white, being pungent 

 in flavor but very firm and crisp. All of the seed offered has been 

 grown on our own farm; thus any undesirable specimens have been 

 eliminated. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., Vilh. 50 cts., lb. $1.75, ppd. 



892 Earliest Scarlet Forcing 



An olive -shaped Radish of a brilliant scarlet, maturing under 

 favorable conditions, in sixteen to twenty days. Its maximum size, 

 before becoming pithy, is 134 inches long by 5^ inch in diameter. 

 This is the earliest Radish under cultivation. It must be pulled im- 

 mediately on attaining its full size, for otherwise it will become pithy 

 within a very few days. The flesh is white, crisp and of excellent 

 flavor. This variety is not advised except as a forcing sort. Pkt. 

 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., l^lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.75, postpaid. 



905 Long Scarlet 



A long red Radish in large demand in certain markets. It is quite 

 similar to Long Scarlet White-Tip, although, when taken as a 

 whole it is not considered quite up to the latter variety in attractive- 

 ness or quality. It is a crisp, tender Radish, however, which will grow 

 quickly. Its season is not long for it must be pulled comparatively 

 early after maturity. The color is a deep red and when prepared for 

 the table it is altogether very attractive. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., 

 l^lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.75, postpaid. 



903 Long Scarlet White-Tip 



In our opinion one of the most attractive and desirable Radishes 

 for all outdoor purposes. The root grows about 4}4 inches long before 

 becoming pithy, is cylindrical in shape, smooth and uniform. In color 

 it is a brilliant scarlet through its entire length except for a small 

 white tip at the bottom of the root. It will mature, under favorable 

 conditions, in twenty-one to twenty-five days, its season being com- 

 paratively short. As compared with White Icicle it is five days 

 earlier in maturity, but correspondingly shorter in season. As 

 compared with Long Scarlet, a very similar variety. Long Scarlet 

 White-Tip is far more attractive, the former having no color contrast. 

 Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., Vi'b. 50 cts., lb. $1.75, postpaid. 



900 White Icicle 



A Radish in very general use for all purposes. It is a long, clear 

 white Radish, growing 5 to 6 inches in length before becoming pithy. 

 It will mature about five days later than the Scarlet Globe and ten 

 days earlier than the White Box. It will hold several days before 

 becoming pithy. The stock offered is reasonably uniform. The shape 

 tapers regularly from near the shoulder to the tip, holding its thick- 

 ness for nearly its full length, the thickest part being 1 inch from 

 the top. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., '/^Ib. 60 cts., lb. $2, postpaid. 



877 Giant Crimson 



Growers desiring a larger, later Scarlet Globe should carefully 

 consider the merits of Giant Crimson. It is a Radish nearly twice 

 as large as the former variety, maturing fully one week later. Its 

 shape is nearly round, color bright crimson, and it will hold longer 

 before becoming pithy, its maximum size in that stage being about 

 1 ?4 inches long by l^i inches in diameter. It is slightly smaller than 

 White Box described on this page, but will mature live to ten dajs 

 ahead of that variety. Crop failed. 



879 Sparkler White-Tip 



One of the most attractive and desirable Radishes in our list. The 

 color is a very deep scarlet, with a distinct white tip covering about 

 one-third of the lower diameter of the root. It will mature, under 

 favorable conditions, in about twenty-eight days and will hold longer 

 before becoming pithy than some of the earlier Radishes described 

 before. Its maximum size before becoming over-ripe is about l}/^ 

 inches in diameter. In shape it is nearly round and slightly flattened 

 on the under side. Pkt. 5c., oz. 15c., ^^lb. 50c., lb. $1.75, pi>d. 



890 Scarlet Olive-Shaped 



A variety similar to the Scarlet Globe except in shape of the 

 root. Scarlet Olive-Shaped being longer, as is suggested by its name. 

 Its maximum size before becoming pithy is 1 3/2 inches by inch. 

 It will mature, under favorable conditions, in about twenty-five 

 days, but under unfavorable conditions, as is the case with most 

 Radishes, it will take about ten days longer. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., 

 V4lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.75, postpaid. 



894 French Breakfast 



An improved form of the old French Breakfast. An olive-shaped 

 Radish, deep scarlet in color except for a small white tip at the base 

 of the root. It will mature in about twenty-eight days, but its season 

 is shorter than the Sparkler White-Tip, which variety it resembles 

 except in its slightly darker color and its olive shape. It is a very 

 attractive Radish. Crop failed.
