CULTURE — This is a popular vegetable, and grown to a large extent. The ground for 

 radishes should be rich and mellow. The early small varieties can be sown broadcast among 

 other crops, such as beets, peas, spinach, or where lettuce has been transplanted. Early 

 varieties are sown in this section the whole year, but during summer they require frequent 

 M-atering to make them grow quickly. The Golden Globe, White Summer Turnip and White 

 Strasburg are best for planting during the summer months. 



Early Long Scarlet. This is a desirable 

 variety; of a bright scarlet color; short top 

 and brittle. 



Chartier's Long Radish. A long Radish, 

 described as deep crimson colored at the top, 

 .shading off lighter until at the bottom it 

 becomes white. 



Early Scarlet Turnip. A small round 

 variety, the favorite kind for family use. It

is very early, crisp and mild when young. 



Golden Globe. This stands the heat better 

 than the foregoing kinds. It is of an oblong 

 shape, and of a beautiful bright yellow color. 

 It should be sown very thinly. Best adapted 

 for summer and fall sowing. 



Early Scarlet, Olive-shaped. This Is 

 similar to the Half Long French, but shorter 

 and not quite so bright in color. It is early, 

 and of good quality. Top short. 



White Summer Turnip. This is a summer 

 and fall variety. Oblong in shape, skin 

 white, stands the heat well. 



Scarlet Half Long French. This is the 

 most popular Radish for the market. It is 

 bright scarlet color, and when well grown, 

 from two to three inches long, very brittle 

 and tender. 



Scarlet, Olive-shaped, White Tipped or 

 French Breakfast. A handsome Radish of 

 the same shape as the foregoing kind, with 

 end and root white. Quite tender. 



Black Spanish. (Winter.) This is sown 

 during fall and early winter. It is oval in 

 shape, sol'd, and stands considerable cold 

 weather without being hurt. It can be sown 

 broadcast between turnips or planted in rows 

 a foot apart; thinned out from three to four 

 inches in the rows. 



Chinese Rose. (Winter.) This is of a 

 half long shape, and bright rose color. It is 

 as hardy as the last described, not so popular, 

 but superior to the foregoing kind. Consider 

 it the best winter variety. 



White Strasburgh, of an oblong, tapering 

 shape; the skin and flesh are pure white, 

 firm, brittle and tender, and has a tendency 

 of retaining its crispness even when the roots 

 are old and large. It is a very good kind for 

 summer use, as it withstands the severest 

 heat, and grows very quickly. 



When you buy from us you get the best.
