 Tliis new Radish is iny own production: is one of the earliest ever grown — fully matured 

 Radish being pulled on our Rockford Trial Grounds in the short space of 14 days from time 

 Seed was planted. This fine Radish won favorable comment and helped to secure First 

 Prize and Diploma at the State Exhibit at the Springfield. Illinois, State Fair, October Ut, 

 190S. My thousand, of customers who tried this finest of all Radishes last year pronounce 

 it 10 be the best they have ever used. It is of small size; just right for the purpose; 

 beautiful dark red skin; ivory white flesh; extremely mild and sweet of flavor; re- 

 tains its crispness even after quite old and never becomes pithy. I have been successful 

 in harvesting a splendid crop of this new Radish on mj' Rockford Seed Farm<! this season. 

 Will supply this seed as long as my stock lasts at the following 

 low prices.
