RADISHES 



Culture. — To have the early sorts of crisp, tender flesh, they must be grown quickly in rich, rather loose soil, and gathered before 

 they have reached full size. Frequent plantings should be made for a succession. Sow in drills, 12 to 18 inches apart, and thin out so that 

 they will have room to develop. 



One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet; nine 

 pounds will sow an acre

EARLY ROUND VARIETIES 

 8,5 S. S. Scarlet Globe 



This is the standard variety for forcing, and is the most important 

 variety for the market-gardener, either for outdoors or under glass. 

 The skin is of rich scarlet, with the flesh pure white, always tender, 

 mild and sweet, very crisp and brittle. Under favorable conditions 

 it matures in eighteen to twenty days from the sowing of the seed.

 class stock in every particular. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 30 cts.,

 solid, crisp and sweet. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., V^b. 25 cts., lb. 80 cts.

 true globe-shape and of pure waxy whiteness, remaining solid and 

 crisp longer than any other of the early sorts. In Philadelphia it is 

 largely grown in boxes or frames, hence the name "White Box."
