 wards 80c. lb.) (See specialties page i8.) (See engraving) 



Early Round Dark Red. The most popular of the round sorts for outdoor sowing. It 

 is very dark in color — the flesh white and crisp. The tops are small for a root of its 

 size. Our stock is very uniform in color and shape. (10 lbs. and upwards 80c. lb.) .

 sell a very superior stock

 mature in 3 weeks. The color is vivid red. (See specialties page i8) 



Scarlet Globe. The best of the forcing varieties. The roots are a little longer than 

 round, the skin intense scarlet in color, with tiny threadlike roots. We exercise 

 unusual care to procure only perfect stocks of this variety and we believe no better 

 can be had. (See specialties page 18) (10 lb. lots 95c., 26 lb. lots 90c.) 



Sparkler Radish. This is of the Early White Tipped Scarlet Turnip type but the white 

 tip is much more pronounced, in fact the white extends almost half way up the bulb.

 very mild in flavor and holds a long time before becoming pithy
