Bolgiano's Re-Selected Radish Seed 



29 



Six ounces of seed v,-.ll plant lOO-yard row. Radish Eight to twelve pounds to the acre. 



Radishes are one of the most popular spring and summer vegetables, and it is ecsy by i^uccessive sow- 

 ings to have a generous supply throughout the entire season. 



We have divided the varieties into four classes, and call attention especially to the long-rooted sortB 

 which remain in condition a long time before becoming pithy. 



Suggest that you try the White Chinese Winter, sowing the seed the same time as recommended for 

 Turnips. 



Coltnre. Radishes thrive best in a light, rich, mellow soil, and to bring out their mild qualities they must make quick 

 and tender growth. Sow for very early use in hotbeds during the winter and early 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 drills 10 inches apart and thin to 2 inches in the rows. Sow at intervals of 2 or 3 weeks 

 until September for a succession. Sow winter varieties in July and August. Like the turnips, they make the best growth 



and must be taken out before severe frost and st 



rill keep tender and crisp all 



Jefore using put 



a cool cellar in sand or in a pit where they 

 which adds to their freshness. 



Early Turnip and Olive-Shaped Varieties 



Bolgiano's No. 2 Scarlet Globe. It is handsome in 



form and color, beautiful oval and rich scarlet. The 

 amount of foliage is small, compared with other va- 

 rieties, 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 without becoming pithy or 

 spongy. The flesh ia tender, juicy and mild. 

 It is equally as good for open garden a.s for 

 forcing, and therefore it commends itself 

 ~ equally to the ama- 



teur and markft 

 gardener. Pkt.

Crimson Giant. Thiri ne^v radish is an entirely new type and differs 

 radically from all the varieties hitherto in cultivation, in so far as its 

 roots attain more than double the size of those of other turnip varieties, 

 without getting pithy or hollow. This giant radish develops roots of 

 6 to 7 inches in circumference and over an ounce in weight, their piire 

 white flesh remaining firm and crisp and of the mildest flavor, but not- 

 withstanding the extraordinary size and weight of the roots. The seed 

 should be sown very thinly to permit full development of the roots.
