SEEDS 



Early Scarlet Globe Radish 



Two strains— for greenhouse and for field cultivation 



Days to maturity, 25. We take a just pride in these two excellent stocks of Scarlet Globe. This seed is 

 of European origin and was grown by a man whom we consider one of the most painstaking plant-breeders 

 and seed-growers in Europe. A member of our firm examined these strains this past spring. Reports from 

 customers also show unusually fine results. This is the first year that we have offered two separate strains 

 of Scarlet Globe and we consider both of them equally pure. They are quite distinct, however, as one is a 

 Field Type and the other a Forcing Type. The slightly higher price charged for the Forcing Type is not due 

 to superior quality, but to the fact that it produces less seed. 



Field Type 



This strain is recommended as excellent for 

 field cultivation. Its top-growth reaches about 4 

 inches at market stage. The purity of this strain 

 has reached a high mark of perfection, both as to 

 the brilliant scarlet root and to the true globe shape. 

 It will average 134 by % inches, reaching this size 

 in just over three weeks. Our Field-Type Scarlet 

 Globe represents one of the finest strains ever 

 developed and is recommended with great assur- 

 ance. Price, delivered: Pkt. 10 cts. ; oz. 20 cts.; 

 Y^b. 30 cts.; lb. $1; 5 lbs. or more, 90 cts. per lb. 



Forcing Type 



Greenhouse men will find that this stock meets 

 their most rigid standards. The restricted growth 

 of the top of this Radish is its distinguishing feature. 

 It will only develop to a height of about 2^ inches 

 above the ground. For this reason this strain is 

 not recommended for field cultivation.^ All green- 

 house men will be deeply impressed with the bril- 

 liant red color of the root. Off-color types are 

 practically unknown in this strain. Price, delivered : 

 Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; y 4 lb. 35 cts.; lb. $1.25; 

 5 lbs. or more, $1.15 per lb. 



A pure strain of a highly 

 recommended field sort 



Days to maturity, 30. 

 We consider this strain to be 

 one of the purest of any va- 

 riety of any vegetable offered 

 in this catalogue. It is a 

 direct result of single-plant 

 selection. Crimson Giant has a valuable place with 

 any large Radish-grower. It is fully 50 per cent larger 

 than Scarlet Globe, and after it reaches maturity will 

 hold nearly ten days before becoming pithy, a val- 

 uable feature and one that makes it worth while to the 

 large planter. Brilliant crimson; the table quality 

 excellent. Price, delivered : Pkt 10 cts. ; oz. 20 cts. ; 

 141b. 30 cts.; lb. $1 ; 5 lbs. or more, 90 cts. per lb. 



Recommended for glass or field 

 cultivation 



Days to maturity, 35. This stock has 

 been grown privately for us from our 

 own stock seed which we consider to be of high 

 quality. It is the result of five years' selection for a 

 pure white, globe-shaped Radish, with a medium- 

 sized top. The clear, opalescent color of this stock 

 and the uniformly smooth root is sure to give satis- 

 faction. There is always a regular demand for white 

 Radish. Price, delivered: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; 

 V4lb. 30 cts. ; lb. $1 ; 5 lbs. or more, 90 cts. per lb.
