BUCKBEE'S ROCKFORD MARKET 

 A World Beater Among Radishes. The Best Long Early Radish. 



For .rears I have given much atteulion 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 regular, smooth and nearly conical, be- 

 ing intermediate between the half long and extra long sons. In brightness of color it is quite 

 unique, being the handsomest scarlet I have yet seen in a Radish, and tipped at (he end of 

 the roots with just enough white to present an ideal appearance. Crisp, tender and juicy. 



I control the entire seed supply of this greatest of all Radishes, and as long as my stock 

 lasts prices to one and all will be: Pkt. 5c.; oz. lOc; 2 oz. 16c.; 34 lb- 25c.; l-i lb. 40c.; lb. 

 75c.
