RA.DISIIr~^^MMER VARIETIES— Coutinued 



Crimson Giant. {See cut.) This is a new variety, 

 suitable for forcing or early planting out of doors. A 

 remarkable feature of this Radish is that it will grow 

 double the size of other red forcing Radishes and still 

 remain solid, not showing the least sign of becoming 

 hollow. The ordinary forcing Radish, after growing to 

 the size of two or three inches in circumference, and 

 weighing about ^ ounce, becomes pithy and unfit for 

 feating, while the Crimson Giant will grow to six or seven 

 • inches in circumference, weigh about one ounce, and still 

 remain solid and juicy, free from all signs of becoming 

 soft. In shape this new Radish is round to oval, and is 

 very attractive. The seed we offer is the true stock of this 

 valuable Radish. Oz., 15 cts.; % lb., 35 cts.; lb., $1 00. 



Dreer's Selected Cardinal Globe. {See cut.) 

 Our seed of this leading forcing Radish is pure and true, 

 having been continually improved both in color and shape. 

 The Radishes grow globular in shape, and are of a most 

 brilliant cardinal-red color. It will stand considerable 

 heat ; therefore it is a quick forcer, and the quality is fine, 

 being crisp and tender. It is a leading variety for forcing, 

 and also does well in open ground. The beautiful ap- 

 pearance and color of this Radish make it a good seller.

Icicle Radish. This variety 

 is of great value, as it can be 

 grown in the forcing frames, 

 and makes fine Radishes about 

 three and a half inches in diame- 

 ter in three weeks from the time 

 of sowing the seed. These Rad- 

 ishes are a beautiful transparent

 bunch with Scarlet Radishes it 

 makes a pleasing contrast. The

 ing bright scarlet stripes on a 

 white ground. It is a splendid 

 forcing variety, with short top, 

 small leaves, and matures quick- 

 ly. Oz., 10 cts ; % \h., 25 cts.;

Dreer's Crystal Forcing. {See cut.) Quick growth, 

 beautiful shape, small top. This is a very desirable and shapely 

 Radish ; in fact, we consider it quite superior to any other white 

 forcing Radish we know of. It is of quick growth and very mild 

 flavor. The tops grow remarkably small, but sufficient to allow 

 of easy tying, when bunching for market. It can also be grown 

 satisfactorily in the open ground, making it a profitable sort for the 

 market gardener to grow. Compared with such white sorts as 

 White Box, Round White Forcing, etc , it is far superior in every 

 way. Oz., ID cts.; %. lb.. 25 cts.; lb., 80 cts.

 small tops. Oz., 10 cts.; Ji( lb , 20 cts.; lb. 55 cts.
