RADISH 



White Box Radish 



One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet; 9 pounds will sow an acre 



875 Scarlet Globe 



Probably in larger general use for all purposes than any other 

 Radish. Scarlet Globe is of a rich, bright scarlet; the shape is 

 short ohve-shaped or short oval, and the top is small. Under 

 favorable conditions it will mature about five days after the 

 Earhest Scarlet Forcing, but under unfavorable conditions it will 

 take at least thirty days before maturing. Its maximum size 

 before becoming pithy is 1 }^ inches long by 3<iinch in diameter. 

 As compared with Scarlet Ohve-Shaped it is shorter, shghtly 

 lighter in color and about two days earlier in maturing. The 

 interior of the root is pure white, mild, crisp and fine-grained. 

 Its season is rather short and it must be pulled reasonably soon 

 after maturing. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., V4\h. 40 cts., lb. $1.50, 

 10 lbs. $13. 



879 Sparkler White-Tip 



One of the most attractive and desirable Radishes in our list. 

 The color is a very deep scarlet, with a distinct white tip covering 

 about one-third of the lower diameter of the root. It will mature, 

 under favorable conditions, in about twenty-eight days and will 

 hold longer before becoming pithy than some of the earlier 

 Radishes described before. Its maximum size before becoming 

 over-ripe is about 1J<4 inches in diameter. In shape it is nearly 

 round and slightly flattened on the under side. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 

 10 cts., Vilb. 45 cts., lb. $1.50, 10 lbs. $13. 



Scarlet Globe Radish 



877 Giant Crimson 



Growers desiring a larger, later Scarlet Globe should carefully 

 consider the merits of Giant Crimson. It is a Radish nearly 

 twice as large as the former variety, maturing fully one week later. 

 Its shape is nearly round, color bright crimson, and it will hold 

 longer before becoming pithy, its maximum size in that stage 

 being about inches long hy 1}^ inches in diameter. It is 

 slightly smaller than White Box described on this page, but will 

 mature five to ten davs ahead of that variety. Pkt, 5 cts., 

 oz. 10 cts., y4lb. 35 cts.^ lb. $1.25, 10 lbs. 312. 



903 Long Scarlet White-Tip 



In our opinion one of the most attractive and desirable Radishes 

 for all outdoor purposes. The root grows about 4}^ inches long 

 before becoming pithy, is cylindrical in shape, smooth and uni- 

 form. In color it is a brilliant scarlet through its entire length 

 except for a small white tip at the bottom of the root. It will 

 mature, under favorable conditions, in twenty-one to twenty- 

 five days, its season being comparatively short. As compared 

 with White Icicle it is five days earlier in maturity, but corres- 

 pondingly shorter in season. As compared with Long Scarlet; a 

 very similar variety. Long Scarlet White-Tip is far more attrac- 

 tive, the former having no color contrast. Pkt. 5 cts,, oz, 10 cts., 

 V4lb. 35 cts., lb. $1.25, 10 lbs. $12. 



881 White Box 



One of the most largely grown Radishes for outdoor cultiva- 

 tion. The active demand for it is, no doubt, due entirely to its 

 beautiful ivory-white appearance and to the fact that it will 

 probably remain in condition longer after maturity than any 

 other of the smaller Radishes, for it will attain a size, under nor- 

 mal conditions, of 2^2 inches in diameter before becoming pithy. 

 In shape White Box is round or nearly globular. It will mature 

 in about thirty-five days from planting. The interior of the root 

 is pure white, being pungent in flavor but very firm and crisp. 

 All of the seed off'ered has been grown on our own farm; thus any 

 undesirable specimens have been ehminated. Pkt. 5 Cts., oz. 

 10 Cts., V4lb. 35 cts., lb. $1.25, 10 lbs. $12. 



894 French Breakfast 



An improved form of the old French Breakfast. An olive- 

 shaped Radish, deep scarlet in color except for a small white tip 

 at the base of the root. 1 1 will mature in about twenty-eight days, 

 but its season is shorter than the Sparkler White-Tip, which 

 variety it resembles except in its slightly darker color and its 

 olive shape. It is a very attractive Radish. Pkt. 5 Cts., oz, 

 10 Cts., y4lb. 35 Cts., lb, $1.25, 10 lbs. $12. 



892 Earliest Scarlet Forcing 



An olive-shaped Radish of a brilliant scarlet, maturing under 

 favorable conditions, in sixteen to twenty days. Its maximum 

 size, before becoming pithy, is inches long by J^ginch in 

 diameter. This is the earliest Radish under cultivation. It must 

 be pulled immediately on attaining its full size, for otherwise it 

 will become pithy within a vers' few days. The flesh is white, 

 crisp and of excellent flavor. This varietj- is not advised except 

 as a forcing sort. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., V41b. 35 cts., lb. $1,25, 

 10 lbs. $12, 



900 White Icicle 



A Radish in very general use for all purposes. It is a long, clear 

 white Radish, growing 5 to 6 inches in length before becoming 

 pithy. It will mature about five days later than the Scarlet 

 Globe and ten days earlier than the White Box. It will hold 

 several days before becoming pithj'. The stock offered is reason- 

 ablj^ uniform. The shape tapers regularly from near the shoulder 

 to the tip, holding its thickness for nearly its full length, the thick- 

 est part being 1 inch from the top. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb, 

 45 cts., lb. $1.50, 10 lbs. $13 



905 Long Scarlet 



A long red Radish in large demand in certain markets. It is 

 quite similar to Long Scarlet White-Tip, although, when taken 

 as a whole it is not considered quite up to the latter variety in 

 attractiveness or quality. It is a crisp, tender Radish, however, 

 which will grow quickly. Its season is not long for it must be 

 pulled comparatively early after maturity. The color is a deep 

 red and when prepared for the table it is altogether very attrac- 

 tive. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., V4lb. 35 cts., lb. $1.25, 10 lbs. $12.
