GOIiDEN YEIiIiOW MAM- 

 MOTH. — This is a very large 

 Pumpkin. Flesh and skin are 

 of a brig-ht golden color, fine 

 grained, and of good quality. 

 Some were brought to our 

 store weighing one hundred 

 and fifty pounds, raised on 

 land which was not manured 

 or fertilized. 



SMALL SUGA R.— Very 

 handsome and prolific, of small 

 size, averaging 10 inches in 

 diameter* Skin deep orange 

 yellow; flesh fine grained, 

 sweet and an excellent keeper. 

 Very desirable for table pur- 

 poses. 



YELLOW CASHAW. — The 



vines are very strong growers 



and produce an enormous crop 



of large fine fruits, which are 



of superior quality. The fruits 



keep remarkably well. The 



vines are such strong growers 



that they resist attacks of the 



vine bug and other insects. 



The fruit makes the very best 



of pumpkin pies. This is also 



a very valuable variety to grow for feeding to the stock 



Cashaw Crook Neck, and green striped. 



YELLOW STRIPED CASHAW CROOK NECK.— Same as the Green Striped except 

 in color.

Radies, Rave (Fr.), Radies, Rettig (Ger.), Rabano (Sp.), Ravanello (Ital.) 



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 broad- 

 cast among other crops, such as beets, peas, spinach, or where lettuce has been trans- 

 planted. Early varieties are sown in this section the whole year, but during Summer 

 they require frequent watering to make them grow quickly. The Yellow Summer Turnip 

 or Golden Globe, White Summer Turnip and White Strasburg are best for planting during 

 the Summer months. Winter varieties, however, require some time to mature, and the 

 seed should be planted in August and September for good Radishes in November and 

 December. Very popular in the Spring for shipping North. Radishes constitute one of 

 our most staple vegetables for shipping to Northern markets. One ounce to 150 feet of 

 drill; 8 pounds to the acre. 



Early Scarlet Turnip, White Tipped. 



EARLY SCARLET TURNIP, WHITE 

 TIPPED. — (Forcing.) One of the hand- 

 somest of the turnip Radishes and a great 

 favorite in many large markets for early 



planting outdoors. Roots slightly flattened 

 on the under side, color very deep scarlet 

 with a white tip; flesh white and of the 

 best quality. 



ROSY GEM. — Perfectly round, deep scar- 

 let color on top, and pure white at the 

 bottom, the colors blending with each 

 other so delicately as to excite the admira- 

 tion of every lover of this healthful and 

 valuable vegetable. It is also exceedingly 

 tender, crisp and very delicious. Well 

 adapted for shipping or the home garden. 



SCARLET, OLIVE-SHAPED, WHITE 

 TIPPED OR FRENCH BREAKFAST. — A 



handsome Radish of the same shape as the 

 Scarlet Half Long French, with end and 

 root white. Quite tender. 



BLACK SPANISH. — (Winter.) This is 

 sown during fall and early winter. It is 

 oval in shape, solid, and stands consider- 

 able 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.
