STOKES SEEDS 



SPARKLER WHITE-TIP 



Days to maturity, 11-11 . This type of Radish has been grown in America for a 

 great many years, originating under the name of Scarlet Turnip White-Tip. As such 

 it was Hsted by Johnson & Stokes in the eighties. A very desirable variety for home 

 garden purposes, and grown very extensively commercially, especially for the Mid- 

 West markets. The color is a very deep scarlet, with a distinct white tip covering 

 about one-third of the lower diameter of the root. Its maximum size, before becoming 

 pithy, is about one and one-quarter inches in diameter. Its shape is nearly round, 

 slightly flattened on the under side. It is one of the most attractive and desirable 

 Radishes in our list, inasmuch as it holds longer before becoming pithy than most of 

 the other sorts maturing in the same class. 



CRIMSON GIANT 



The Crimson Giant Radish is a later, larper and heavier edition 

 of Early Scarlet Globe. It has been a great money maker under 

 certain late conditions, especially where a larger and late 

 maturing Radish is wanted 



Days to maturity, 30-35. A com- 

 paratively new variety, having been 

 offered by Breck in 1905. Maturing, 

 as it does, one week after Scarlet 

 Globe, it will hold proportionately 

 longer before becoming pithy. It is a 

 Radish nearly twice the size of Scarlet 

 Globe. It is round, bright crimson, 

 attaining a maximum size, before be- 

 coming pithy, of 1^ inches long by 

 inches in diameter. Crimson 

 Giant is highly recommended for all 

 general purposes. 



WHITE ICICLE 



Days to maturity, 30. An old American variety. The root will attain 

 length of about 5K inches, tapering regulariy from near the shoulder to th 

 tip, holding this thickness for neariy its entire length, the thickest part bein 

 about one inch from the top. It will hold a week to ten days before becomin 

 pithy. The color is a pure white, almost transparent, maturing five days late 

 than Scariet Globe. Having an attractive appearance and fine eating qualitie; 

 this variety is widely popular. We do not offer this variety in Canada.
