CULTURE OF RADISH. Radishes thrive best in a light, rich, mellow 

 soil, and to bring out their mild qualities they must make quick and tender 

 growth. Sow for very early use in hotbeds during the winter and early 

 spring, or later on, in sheltered borders, in well-manured, deeply-dug and 

 finely-raked soil. If not well stimulated into a rapid growth, they become 

 fibroua and tough. Sow in drills 10 inches apart and thin to 2 inches in 

 the rows. Sow at intervals of two or three weeks until September for a 

 succession. Sow winter varieties in July and August. Like the turnips, 

 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 VTill keep tender and crisp all winter. Before using, put in cold 

 water, which adds to their freshness. 



BOLGIANO'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 varie- 

 ties, 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 flesh 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 gar- 

 dener. Pkt., 5c.; ounce, 10c. ; % lb., 40c.; lb., $1.50. 



VICE'S SCARLET GLOBE. A forcing radish. Small foliage; quick in 

 growth; fine color and remains solid under all conditions. Packet, 5c. 

 and 10c. ; % lb., 40c.; lb., $1.50. 



SCARLET TURNIP WHITE-TIP RADISH. Nature almost ex- 

 hausted itself in making this beautiful radish to ornament the private 

 table and embellish the market stall. It has been brought to our mar- 

 ket in two weeks after planting, and always is a very early crop for 

 frames and for open ground culture. Some gardeners use it in 100- 

 pound lots. It is annually grown more and more, and in demand every- 

 where. Pkt., 5c.; ounce, 15c.; % lb., 40c.; 1 lb., $1.50. 



ICICLE RADISH. (See cut.) A long Radish transparent white, 

 small top, allowing close planting, and are very crisp ani'i brittle. The 

 Radishes remain in good condition for a long time while growing, allow- 

 ing continuous use from one planting. Packet, 5c.; ounce, 15c.; ^4 lb., 

 30c.; lb., $1.00. 



NEW GLASS RADISH. Quick growth, small top, bright color. The 

 best forcing radish. This brilliant, uniform radish is not so large as 

 the Long Scarlet Radish, but is similar in form and holds its size with- 

 out losing its nice proportion. Market gardeners find it satisfies 

 the market demands and sells better than other long radishes. Packet, 5c.; ounce, 10c. ; i/4 lb., 30c.; 1 lb., $1.00. 



SELECT EARLT LONG SCARLET. This improved strain of Long Scarlet Radish is regarded by our most exten- 

 sive gardeners to be the finest stock grown; for earliness, brilliancy of color and shortness of top it cannot be surpassed, 

 and is the most profitable one to grow for an early crop. Packet, 5c.; ounce, 15c.; % lb., 30c.; Vi lb., 50c.; lb., $1.00. 



CINCINNATI MARKET. This fine strain of the Long Scarlet Short-Top Radish has 

 been selected for thirty years. The tops are so small that the radishes may stand touching 

 each other in the rows. They grow perfectly straight and smooth and from 6 to 7 inches in 

 length; and the flesh crisp and brittle and of delightfully pungent flavor. Equally as good for the 

 open ground. Packet, 5c.; ounce, 15c.; % lb., 30c.; lb., $1.00.
