 two or three weeks until September for a 



pounds to the acre. 



best in a light, rich, mellow soil, and to bring 

 tender grown. Sow for very early use in hot 

 . in sheltered borders, in well-manured, deeply 

 into a rapid growth, they become fibrous and 

 two inches in the rows. Sow at intervals of 

 Sow winter varieties in July and August. 



Like the turnip, they make the best growth in autumn and must be taken out before severe frost 

 and stored away in a cool cellar in sand or in a pit where they will keep tender and crisp all winter. 

 Before using, put in cold water, which adds to their freshness. iiti^«i.».E,ioL t. 



BOLQIANO'S NO. 2 SCARLET GLOBE RADISH.— Is the very best 

 in every way. It is handsome in form and color, beautiful oval and rich scarlet. 

 The amount of its foliage is small, compared with other varieties, and small for 

 the size of the radish. The peculiar merit of this variety as a forcing radish 

 is that it will bear the heat requisite for forcing without becoming pithy or 

 spongy. The fiesh is tender, juicy and mild. It is equally as good for open 

 garden as for forcing, and therefore it commends itself equally to the amateur 

 and market gardener. Packet, 5c; oz., loc; j lb., 15c; lb., 50c.

CRIMSON GIANT RADISH.— This new radish is an en-

 in cultivation, in so far as its roots attain more than double the 

 size of those of other forcing varieties, without getting pithy or 

 hollow. This giant radish develops roots of six to seven inches 

 in circumference and over a pound in weight, their pure white 

 flesh remaining firm and crisp and of the mildest flavor, but not- 

 withstanding the extraordinary size and weight of its bulbs, it is 

 second to none as a forcing variety. It is equally well adapted 

 to outside culture. The seed should be sown very thinly to 

 permit full development of the roots. Packet, 5c; oz., loc; 

 I lb., 15c; lb., 50C.
