SUMMER RADISHES 



914 White Strasburg 



A large summer Radish desirable for late planting when other 

 earlier and smaller varieties will not keep in condition. It will 

 mature in about forty days and remain in condition for a com- 

 paratively long time. Its maximum size before becoming pithy 

 is at least 5 inches in length and \Y2 inches in diameter. The 

 color is white, with a slightly green-ivory tinge. One-fifth of the 

 root usually grows above ground. Its shape is cylindrical; its 

 qualitj' is very fine and not surpassed by any Radish of this 

 class. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., y^\i. 60 cts., lb. $2, 10 lbs. $18. 



910 Chartier, or Shepherd 



A summer variety that is somewhat similar to the Long Scarlet 

 White-Tip. As compared to that variety it is lighter in color, 

 being a dull pink for about two-thirds of its length, shading to a 

 clear white at the tip. It will, however, remain longer before 

 turning pithy than the latter variety and for this reason is more 

 desirable for some purposes. For spring planting we do not con- 

 sider it so desirable as the Long Scarlet White-Tip. Ready 45 

 days after sowing. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., l^lb. 60 cts., lb. $2, 

 10 lbs. $18. 



RADISHES FOR WINTER USE 



The varieties listed below should be sown in August for the best results. If sown earlier than that, they are likely to shoot to 

 seed without attaining their full development. These Radishes are of distinctly two types — the Chinese, which is of extra-large size 

 but of extremely tender and sweet flesn, and the Spanish types which are not so large but are of a very hard surface and splendid 

 keepers throughout the entire winter. 



920 White Chinese (Celestial) 



Probably the largest Radish under cultivation, very often attaining a size of 12 inches in length. It is 

 round in shape, tapering to a small tap-root. The diameter of this Radish is about 6 inches when fully de- 

 veloped. It is desirable Tor table use at any period of its growth but its quality is better when not too large. 

 The flesh is pure white and comparatively mild in flavor notwithstanding its large size. White Chinese is 

 desirable for home or market-garden purposes and usually finds a ready demand. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 Cts., 

 V4lb. 60 cts., lb. $2, 10 lbs. $18. 



922 China Rose 



For fall and winter use this variety is largely grown. The smooth skin 

 is of a bright rose-color. The flesh is white, solid and of a crisp, pungent 

 quality. The shape of the root is cylindrical, being smaller at the top than 

 at the bottom, and attaining a length of about 5 inches by 2 inches in diam- 

 eter when fullv matured. It is desirable for cither small or large plantings. 

 Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., y^\>. 60 cts., lb. $2, 10 lbs. $18. 



924 Round Scarlet China 



"All Seasons" is a synonym for this v'ariety. It is quite similar to the 

 China Rose, but has a slightly different shape and different habits of grow- 

 ing. It will mature in about six or seven weeks after sowing and is a very 

 good late sort, being an excellent keeper. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., V41b. 60 cts., 

 lb. $2, 10 lbs. $18, 



926 Long Black Spanish 



White Chinese Radish 



The roots of this variety are of a grayish black color on the surface, 

 having a white interior flesh which is very crisp and pungent. They will 

 be about 5 inches long when matured and nearly 2 inches in diameter. 

 There is a large demand for this Radish in the markets and the fact that 

 it can be brought on when competition is at low ebb makes it a splendid 



seller. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., V4lb. 60 cts., lb. $2, 10 lbs. $18. 



Long Black Spanish 

 Radish 



RHUBARB (Victoria) 



Rhubarb is proving to be a very profitable crop for a great many market-gardeners. So far as variety is concerned, we feel that this 

 vegetable comes under the same category as asparagus; for, as in asparagus, we believe it is entirely a matter of the strain used and 

 not that of the variety. Victoria is a very common name. We are, at present, growing at Windermoor both roots and seed, all of a 

 specially selected strain and we offer them with every confidence that they will bring the very best results either for outdoor planting 

 or for winter forcing, in which case roots should be frozen once or twice, either artificially in cold storage or under natural conditions 

 and then placed in a damp cellar, covering them with earth and watering frequently. For outdoor sowing Rhubarb should be sown in 

 a shallow drill, one ounce of seed to 100 feet of row, and later thin to 10 to 12 inches in the row and keep well cultivated. Stalks 

 should not be cut until the plants have had a full season's growth. The use of roots, however, will very often produce strong, better- 

 j'ielding stalks than seed the following spring, for it is better to allow stalks grown from seed an extra year of growth before cutting. 



SEED. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., Vilb. 60 cts., lb. $2. ROOTS. $1.25 per doz., $7.50 per 100, $60 per 1,000. 



935 SALSIFY or OYSTER PLANT, Mammoth Sandwich Island 



This plant is grown largely for winter market, meeting a ready sale, as it is highly esteemed for the fine flavor of the roots when 

 prepared for the table. They are served boiled as a vegetable, or may be sliced and fried. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., l^lb. 85 cts., lb. $3.
