CCLTCRE OF RADISH. — kadishes thrive best in a light, rich, mellow soil, and to bring out their mild qualities they must make 

 a quick and tender growth. Sow for very early use in hot beds during the winter and earlv spring, or later on in sheltered borders, 

 in well-manured deeply-dug, and finely-raked soil. If not well stimulated into a rapid growth, they become fibrous and tough. 

 Sow in dr-. - - in the rows. Sow Intervals of two or three weeks, until September, for a sue- 



Sow winter varieties in July and August. Like the turnip, they make the best growth in autumn, and must be taken out 

 re frost and stored away in a cool cellar in sand, or ill a pit, where they will keep tender and crisp all winter. liefore 

 using, put in cold water, which adds to their freshness. 



Bohjiano's No. 2 Scarlet Globe Radish.— Is the 

 ^ «fifeU-. a^kfc.. best in every way. It is handsome in form and color, a 



beautiful oval and rich scarlet. The amount of its foliage is 

 small, compared with other varieties, and small for the size 

 of the radish. The peculiar merit of this variety as a forcing 

 radish is that it will bear the heat requisite for forcing with- 

 out becoming pithy or spongy. The flesh is tender, juicy, and 

 mild. It is equally as good for open garden culture as for 

 forcing, and therefore it commends itself equally to the ama- 

 teur and market gardener. Packet. 5 cents; Ounce, 10 

 cents; \ pound, 15 cents; pound, 50 cents.

 already used it, and others should try it in their frames or 

 outdoors early in the spring. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10

( Irimson <iiant Badish. — This 

 new radish is an entirely new type, 

 and differs radically from all the va- 

 rieties hitherto in cultivation, in so far 

 as its roots attain more than double 

 the size of those of other forcing va- 

 rieties, without getting pithy or hol- 

 low. This giant radish develops 

 roots of 6 to 7 inches in circumfer- 

 ence and over an ounce in weight, their pure white flesh remaining firm and crisp 

 and of the mildest flavor, but notwithstanding the extraordinary size and weight 

 of its bulbs it is second to none as a forcing variety. It is equally well adapted 

 to outside culture. The seed should be sown very thinly to permit full develop- 

 ment of the roots. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; X pound, 20 cents; 

 pound, .75 cts postpaid.
