NEW LEAFLESS 

 0U WANT THIS CHARMING RADISH 

 The extra early forcing RaBishes lately introduced are remarkable for the small size of their 

 leaves; they develop their roots in so short a time that the latter are practically in advance of the 

 leaves. The character is still more noticeable in this new variety. The seed leaves, which are noted 

 for great development from the start, are the only preen parts to be seen on the plants until the bulbs 

 are almost large enough for pulling. At that time one or two short leaves only are produced. Tbe 

 roots* are of the shape and color of our Rapid Forcing Radish. Send to Buckbee for the best seed.

CKBEE'S ROCKFORD MARKET— A World-beater 

 Among Radishes. The Best Long Early Radish 



SEE PAINTING FROM NATURE ON LITHOGRAPHED INSERT 



For years I have given much attention to this new 

 Radish, and after the repeated trials on Rockford Seed 

 Farms, as-well as in various sections of this country 

 and abroad, it has given unbounded satisfaction. The 

 extraordinary earliness is remarkable in view of the 

 fact that it grows to such a fine size. The shape is reg- 

 ular, smooth and nearly conical, being intermediate be- 

 tween the half long and extra long sorts. In brightness 

 of color it is quite unique, being thehar>dsomest scarlet 

 I have yet seen in a Radish, and tipped at the ends 

 of the roots with just enough white to present an 

 ideal appearance. Crisp, tender and 

 juicy. I control the entire seei supply of this 

 greatest of all Radishes, and as long as my stock 

 lasts prices to one and all will be Pkt 5c ; oz. 10c; 

 2oz. I5c ; Mlt.25c; Hlb. 40c.;.b
