WHITE BOX (Natural Size) 



No. 890— Crimson Giant 



Days to Maturity, 32. A comparatively new variety, having been 

 offered by Breck in 1905. Maturing, as it does, one week after 

 Scarlet Globe, it will hold proportionately longer before becoming 

 pithy. It, is a radish nearly twice the size of Scarlet Globe. It is 

 round, bright crimson, attaining a maximum size, before becoming 

 pithy, of one and three-quarters inches long by one and one-quarter 

 inches in diameter. Crimson Giant is highly recommended for all 

 general purposes. Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c, }i lb. 40c, 1 lb. $1.25, post- 

 paid. 



No. 892— White Box 



Days to Maturity, 35. A variety introduced by Johnson & Stokes 

 in 1888. Owing to its short tip and rapid growth, it is a variety 

 especially suited for growing under glass in frames or "boxes," 

 hence its name. This radish will attain a size of two and one-half 

 inches in diameter before becoming pithy. It is one of the most 

 largely grown radishes for outdoor cultivation on an extensive 

 scale. Its beautiful ivory-white appearance and the fact that it 

 will remain in condition longer after maturity than any of the other 

 radishes, no doubt, is responsible for its wide popularity. In shape 

 the root of the White Box is nearly round. The interior of the root 

 is pure white, pungent in flavor, but very firm and crisp. Pkt. 10c, 

 oz. 15c, M lb. 40c, 1 lb. $1.25, postpaid. 



SUMMER RADISHES 



No. 894— White Strasburg 



Days to Maturity, 40. A variety first introduced in this country by Johnson & 

 Stokes in 1885. As a large summer radish desirable for late planting when earlier 

 and smaller varieties will not keep under satisfactory conditions, it is very desirable. 

 The maximum size of root before becoming pithy is about five inches in length and 

 one and one-half inches in diameter. It will hold before becoming pithy from ten 

 days to two weeks. One-fifth of the root usually grows above the ground. Pkt. 

 10c, oz. 15c, M lb. 40c, 1 lb. SI. 25, postpaid. 



No. 896— Chartier 

 or Shepherd 



Days to Maturity, 45. A 

 variety listed by Thorburn as 

 early as 1865. It is a summer 

 radish somewhat similar to 

 the Long Scarlet White Tip. 

 As compared to that variety, 

 it is lighter in color, being a 

 dull pink for two-thirds of 

 its length, shading to a pure 

 white at the tip. It will 

 remain in condition much 

 longer after maturity than 

 that variety, and is thus 

 more desirable for summer 

 planting. It is not recom- 

 mended for spring planting. 

 Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c, M lb. 

 40c, 1 lb. $1.25, postpaid.
