Early Scarlet Globe Radish 



SUPER-STANDARD 



Days to maturity, 25. The old-time Radish-grower will go a long way to secure a more perfect strain of Scarlet 

 Globe than this. As a greenhouse forcing type, or as a field type, we believe it is without a peer, and willingly 

 challenge comparison with any others. Our stock is the result of very careful work on the part of our grower. The 

 roots will be found uniformly true to shape and of a rich scarlet color. The top is remarkably small, which is a 

 desirable feature for bunching. The average size of this strain is by % inches. You cannot go wrong on it. 

 It will grow quickly and evenly, maturing in just over three weeks' time under good conditions. The colored 

 photograph on this page is a true reproduction of the strain. 



Philadelphia White Box (1888) 



Days to maturity, 35. This variety was introduced 

 by Johnson & Stokes in 1888. This superb, ivory- 

 white strain is probably the best of the round, white 

 class. We have spared no pains in developing the stock 

 which would meet the critical requirements of the large 

 field-Radish men. Owing to prohibition and the passing 

 of the free-lunch counter, we do not recommend as large 

 plantings as formerly, but there is still a place for it. 



\A/V»if«i Tr»ir»lo Days to maturity, 30. The 

 VV IllLC IClClC. root will attain a length of 

 about 5Yi inches, tapering regularly from near the 

 shoulder to the tip, holding this thickness for nearly 

 its entire length, the thickest part being about 1 inch 

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

 becoming pithy. The color is a pure transparent white. 



Sparkler White Tip. gp*™KS£S 



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 shape is nearly round, 

 slightly flattened on the under side. 



T r»n Ci ^»r»SJ vlckf Da Y s to maturity, 30. The 

 LuKJllg .1CL. bright scarlet root will attain 



a length of from 5 to 6 inches, having a diameter of 1 

 inch. The flesh is crisp and tender. Care must be 

 taken not to allow this variety to remain too long 

 after attaining its full growth. 



White Strasburg. g A«Sh 



in the United States by Johnson & Stokes in 1885. A 

 large summer Radish desirable for late planting. The 

 maximum size of root before becoming pithy is about 

 5 inches in length and 1'% inches in diameter. One- 

 fifth of the root usually grows above the ground. 



or SHEPHERD. Days to maturity, 

 45. A summer Radish, dull pink for 

 two-thirds of its length, shading to a pure white at the 

 tip. Average length 5 inches. It is not recommended 

 for spring planting. 



Half-long Black Spanish. °7L\° 



ity, 70. This is a winter Radish. Its roots are a gray- 

 black color on the surface, having a white interior, 

 which is very crisp and pungent. Length 3^ inches.
