The Best Varieties 

 for Market 



Gardeners. 



Early Round Dark Red. The finest type of the Early Scarlet 

 turnip-shaped class, producing handsome, ball-shaped Radishes 

 of medium size, ready for use in from 15 to 20 days from sow- 

 ing; surface smooth and of rich, dark red; flesh white as snow, 

 crisp and of mild flavor. It remains fit to use for a consider- 

 able time. (See cut.) 10c. oz., 15c. \ lb., 40c. lb. (25 lbs. 

 and over at 35c. lb.) 



"Your Early Round Red Radish is the best of the Turnip Radishes we have 

 *ver grown. They were several days ahead of the cracked-up Philadelphia 

 Radishes; besides, yours were large, sound and jree from pithiness." 



ABRAM HOUSER. Rahway, N. J. 



Early Scarlet Globe. This is the most popular forcing Radish 

 on the market to-day. It is grown very largely in the Eastern 

 States to supply the enormous demand in New York, Boston 

 and other eastern markets, where its brilliant color and at- 

 tractive shape have secured for it a prominent place. It matures 

 in 21 days and has a very small top. No variety looks better 

 in the bunch, none holds the color longer, or remains firmer 

 after pulling. Our stock is not equalled by any to-day, and is 

 selected specially for the most critical trade, some growers 

 buying as much as 500 lbs. annually for forcing purposes. 

 10c. oz., 20c. i lb., 50c. lb. (25 lbs. and over at 45c. lb.) 



Non Plus Ultra. This is one of the best of the small, round 

 red forcing varieties. It is about same size as Red Forcing, 

 and tops are very small. It is very finely bred throughout, the 

 flesh is exceedingly tender, crisp and of mild flavor. The out- 

 er color, a very vivid red, is very attractive and presents a fine 

 appearance when bunched. It can be easily marketed in 21 

 days from sowing. 10c. oz., 20c. \ lb., 50c. lb. 



Early Crimson Giant. A new Early Turnip Radish, double 

 the size of any of the early turnip-shaped type. This variety 

 develops to 6 and often 7 inches in circumference, weighing up 

 to one ounce per bulb, or about four times the weight of similar 

 sorts; but notwithstanding its immense size, does not get hol- 

 low or pithy, the flesh remaining sparklingly white, sob'd, 

 crisp and juicy, and of the mildest flavor. The shape of the 

 bulbs varies between round and almost oval, but the bright, 

 deep crimson color of the skin remains quite constant. Excel- 

 lent both for forcing and open-ground culture. 15c. oz., 35c. 

 i lb., $1.00 lb. 



"The Crimson Giant Radish seed purchased from you last spring produced tin 

 finest Radishes I ever ate, without any exception." 



J. CALVIN MEYER, Bellefonte, Pa. 



White-Tipped Early Scarlet Turnip. A superior strain of 

 this variety, so popular both for outdoor culture and growing 

 in frames; of medium size; shape very uniform and round; 

 color, bright scarlet, with a distinct white tip, contrasting viv- 

 idly and making it very attractive; mild, crisp, white flesh; 

 matures in 25 days. (See cut.) 10c. oz., 15c. \ lb., 40c. lb. 

 (25 lbs. and over at 35c. lb.) 



Rapid Forcing. A fine variety. It resembles the White 

 Tipped Scarlet Turnip, but is a little smaller, though earlier, 

 coming to maturity in 22 days from time of sowing, and having 

 very small tops, will prove to be the radish for forcing purposes. 

 10c. oz., 20c. i lb., 50c. lb. 



French Breakfast. A select strain of this ever-popular Rad- 

 ish, being of unusually quick growth, about 2 inches long and 1 J 

 inches in diameter, or nearly oval ; of uniform and perfect mould ; 

 surface smooth and of bright scarlet, with white base and tip; 

 flesh white and un usually tender and mild. A favorite for either 

 open ground or forcing. 10c. oz., 15c. \ lb., 40c. lb.
