RADISH 



No. 74. Early Scarlet Globe 



SHORT-TOP STRAIN 



Equally valuable for outdoor culture and for forcing 



Days to maturity, 23. A preponderantly large 

 part of the commercial Radish production in the 

 United States is now standardized on the Early 

 Scarlet Globe type. This Radish, originally a 

 European variety, has been refined to a high degree 

 of perfection. Its ancestors were probably the Rond 

 and the Ecarlate, which later became known as 

 Vick's Scarlet Globe. The pedigree stock which we 

 offer is all grown from stock seed which is developed 

 from transplanted roots. When forced in the hot- 

 house it develops a longer top. The roots are 

 globular, very slightly elongated, averaging not 

 over \\± inches in length; tap-root is slender and 

 well defined. In color it is a uniform, brilliant 

 scarlet. The flesh is white, crisp, and of mild flavor.

No. 76. White Icicle 



Considered by many the standard of excellence 

 in Radishes 



Days to maturity, 27. This very popular variety 

 is looked on as decidedly the best early white 

 Radish. The tops are restrained, the roots are long 

 and tapered, very white throughout, very brittle, 

 and of splendid quality until at least 5 inches long. 

 The flavor is mild and inviting.

No. 75. Early Scarlet Globe 



MEDIUM-TOP STRAIN 



Days to maturity, 24. This strain is similar to 

 the short-top strain, except that it has been selected 

 for longer tops, ranging from 3 to 4 inches. It is 

 particularly recommended for outdoor culture under 

 normal conditions. The size and quality of the root 

 is similar to the short-top strain described opposite. 

 Its top will develop 1 to 2 inches longer than the 

 short-top strain, which is considered a distinct 

 advantage under certain conditions. Each strain 

 will give great satisfaction in its place. The season 

 is rather short, and the Radishes must be pulled 

 promptly after reaching maturity. The maximum 

 size before becoming pithy is 134 inches in length 

 and ^4 inch in diameter.

No. 77. Philadelphia White Box 



For forcing or for outdoor culture 



Days to maturity, 28. A variety introduced by 

 Johnson & Stokes in 1888. This popular, medium- 

 early, round, white Radish is highly esteemed. 

 Owing to its short top and rapid growth, it is 

 specially suited for growing under glass, in frames 

 or boxes, hence its name. Although usually pulled 

 when it is about 1 % inches in diameter, it can 

 attain a size of 2Y2 inches before becoming pithy. The 

 flesh is verv white, very crisp, fine-grained, and tender.
