RADISHES 
Every one who plans a garden should have a few packages of radish seed 
planted. CULTURE: For forcing, seeds may be started in a hot bed. Seed may 
be sown outdoors as soon as the ground can be worked. Sow thinly and when 
the plants are young pull out the weakest to avoid having them crowded. We 
especially recommend the varieties listed below as being the best of their 
respective types. 
EARLY SCARLET GLOBE — A very popular radish. See description on page 3. 
CRIMSON GIANT. A rapid growing variety, developing roots of beautiful deep crimson, 
perfect in shape and more than double the size of any other forcing variety. It often 
measures 9 inches in circumference without getting pithy or hollow, and retains its firm- 
ness and tenderness of flesh. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; % lb., 30c; lb., $1.00. 
SPARKLER. This is an extra early, white-tipped, round radish. The proportions of white 
and red are well shown and the contrasting colors being so nearly equal gives a most 
attractive appearance. Well adapted for either forcing in frames or private gardening. 
Quality unsurpassed; remaining solid and crisp. Pkt., 5c oz., 10c; *4 lb., 30c; lb., $1.00. 
FRENCH BREAKFAST. An oblong-shaped radish. Fine for open 
ground or forcing. Valued for its excellent quality and fine color, 
which is a beautiful scarlet on the body and white at the ex- 
tremity. Flesh white, tender and mild. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; *4 lb., 
35c; lb., 75c. 
ICICLE. A long variety of almost transparent whiteness. Pro- 
duces nice roots in twenty-two days from the date of sowing, and 
it continues in prime condition for a long period, so that in one 
sowing of seed, nice, crisp radishes may be had from spring until 
midsummer. It is much the most popular sort in the entire list. 
There is no variety that grows more uniform in type, and there 
are none that surpass it in quality. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; *4 lb., 30c; 
lb., $1.00. 
WHITE STRASBURG. Of oblong, tapering shape, both skin and 
flesh being pure white. The flesh is firm, brittle and tender and 
retains its crispness even if old and large. Excellent for summer 
use. Very popular because it remains fit for use a long time and 
does not get pithy. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; *4 lb., 30c; lb., $1.00. 
LONG WHITE VIENNA (Lady Finger). An early, long white 
radish. Roots mature in the summer and are about 7 inches long, 
slender and smooth. Not much tinged with green at the top. Pkt.,
