FERRY'S SEEDS 



RADISH 



The culture of radishes is so easy and the results so sure that 

 they are probably found in more home gardens than any other 

 vegetable. The varieties of radish differ so distinctly and cover 

 such a wide range of choice that the home gardener is able to 

 obtain almost anything he prefers in the way of shape, color, 

 size and season. 



The ground for growing radishes should be finely prepared 

 and as free as possible of small stones and lumps. Plant seed 

 about Yi inch deep in rows 12 to 18 inches apart and when up 

 about an inch thin to 1 or 2 inches apart. Radishes are at their 

 best when the growth is quick and steady. A moderate tempera- 

 ture and constant moisture are favorable for best results. Alost 

 varieties become pithy soon after reaching full size. In order to 

 maintain a continued supply, successive plantings should be 

 made. 



CRIMSON GIANT The crimson-carmine roots of this variety 

 are the largest of the earljr round radishes. They do not 

 become fully grown until nearly 2 inches in diameter 

 but are very good while much smaller. The flesh is as crisp 

 and mild as any of the smaller varieties and they remain 

 in perfect condition for several days. The home gardener 

 who desires a radish of more than two bites will find this 

 to his liking.

EARLY SCARLET GLOBE The bright carmine-red color, 

 perfect oval shape, threadhke tap-root and ideal size 

 combine to make this the most desirable of early table 

 radishes. Until they are nearly an inch in diameter the flesh 

 is crisp and mild. They wLU reach this size in 2.5 to 30 days 

 and are at their best when not quite full grown. We have 

 bred our stock of this variety to near-perfection and trials 

 show it to be superior to any offered elsewhere. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 1/4 lb. 45c; lb. $1.25. 



HALF LONG The color of this variety is the nearest true red 

 of the home garden varieties, giving the roots a very attrac- 

 tive appearance. They are about 3 inches long when full 

 grown, about ^^ of an inch in diameter and long-oval in 

 shape. The flesh is clear white, brittle and remains crisp 

 for a comparatively long time. The roots are easily pulled 

 and have small tops. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 1/4 lb. 45c; lb. $1.25. 



Early Scarlet Globe 



Icicle 



ICICLE A distinct radish of the finest quahty. Clear white 

 roots which grow to a length of 6 inches with a third of 

 their length out of the ground are dehcately tinted with 

 ivory at the tops. They are undoubtedly the most crisp 

 and tender of all table radishes and are especially mild. 

 This variety has been a home garden favorite for many 

 years. We have bred our stock to a point of superior uni- 

 formity and trueness to type. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 1/4 lb. 45c; lb. $1.25. 



LONG SCARLET An early long radish of attractive appear- 

 ance and fine quality. The bright carmine-red roots have a 

 smooth tender skin and mUd crisp flesh. They are 6 inches 

 long when in prime condition and remain firm and tender 

 for several days. The upper third of the root grows above 

 ground and make pulling easy. The home gardener will find 

 this the best of the long red spring and su mm er varieties. 



SCARLET TURNIP This is a very popular turnip-shaped red 

 variety for early planting in the home garden. The roots 

 make quick growth and become an inch in diameter in 2.5 

 to 30 days. They are entirely crimson-red in color with 

 very small tap-roots and are of the best quahty in flesh 

 and flavor. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 1/4 lb. 45c; lb. $1.25. 



SCARLET TURNIP, WHITE TIPPED This is the most dis- 

 tinct of the early turnip-shaped radishes and is undoubtedly 

 one of the most popular. The upper part of the root is rich 

 crimson-red in color and the base and tap root are snow- 

 white, making a very attractive combination. The roots 

 are usually rounded-turnip in shape and grow to 1 J^ inches 

 in diameter without becoming pith}'. They taste as good 

 as they look and are certainly good for home garden 

 growing.
