 This strain, an even, 



globe shape, with a rich scariet exterior 

 color, and a unifcrmly small top, is the 

 most desirable we know of for forcing under 

 glass and for early spring field cultivation. We 

 challenge comparison of this stock with any 

 available strains for we have the utmost 

 confidence in it. It will grow to length of 

 134 inches and width of ^^^inch before be- 

 coming pithy. To those who have never tried 

 our stock of Scarlet Globe, we cannot too 

 strongly urge at least a few^ pounds for 

 comparative tests, for we know the high 

 quahty of this stock and w^e do not believe 

 it is surpassed anvwhere. Price, pkt. 10 cts., 

 oz. 20 cts., V4\h. 40 cts., lb. $1.25, 

 10 lbs. $11.00, 100 lbs. $85.00, delivered.

Early Scarlet Globe Radishes (Natural Size; 



superb, ivory-white 

 strain has been developed by most careful 

 methods of selection. It is whole-heartedly 

 recommended to all market-gardeners. There 

 is no use trying to com.pete unless you have 

 a product equal to or better than your com- 

 petitors. By planting this strain you will 

 know at least that you are not hopelessly 

 out of the race from the very start, for by 

 planting it you will very definitely have the 

 post position. This variety was introduced 

 in 1888 by Johnson & Stokes, and has been a 

 popular one in the Philadelphia markets ever 



since. It will attain size of 2^ inches in diameter before becoming pithy, and will remain in condition for 

 market much longer after maturity than any others of its class. The brilhant white coloring goes to the 

 very heart of the root which is firm, crisp, and of deli- 

 cious quality. Price, pkt. 10 cts., oz. 20c., V4lb. 30 cts.,
