• RHDISH.- 



RAPID FORCING. Our 



illustration gives a good 

 idea of this fine variety. It 

 resembles the White Tipped 

 Scarlet Turnip variety, but 

 is much earlier, coming to 

 maturity in 22 days from 

 time of sowing, and having 

 very small tops, will prove 

 to be the Radish for forcing 



Eurposes. Being very 

 andsome and of fine qual- 

 ity, it is equally desirable 

 for the garden. (See cut.)

WHITE TIPPED SCAR- 

 LET TURNIP. An early 

 variety of medium size, 

 very handsome in appear- 

 ance and of excellent flavor. 

 5c. pkt. ; 10c. oz. ; 15c. Jib. ; 

 40c. lb. 



EARLY ROUND DARK 

 RED. The shape is the 

 same as that of the Early 

 Scarlet Turnip, and it dif- 

 fers only in the skin being 

 darker in color and making 

 much smaller tops. On 

 this account it is now very 



largely used for forcing in both frames and greenhouses. This variety and Rapid 

 forcing are the sorts that are grown most largely for early market in this vicinity.

RED FORCING TURNIP. This variety has a peculiar value to market gardeners, 

 in the fact that the tops are exceedingly small and short, rendering it most use- 

 ful for forcing either in the greenhouse or in frames. The tops are smaller than 

 we have ever met with iu any variety of radish, in all other respects, however, it is 

 identical with our Early Round Dark Red, which has proven so val- 

 uable for forcing. (See cut.) 5c. pkt.; 10c. oz ; 20c. i lb.; 50c. lb. 



EARLY SCARLET TURNIP. An exceedingly popular variety 

 and in large demand for home consumption. By allowing it a suf- 

 ficient time to grow it attains three inches in diameter, but it is 

 always gathered about half this size. 5c. pkt. ; 10c. oz. ; 15c. £ lb. ;

EARLY "WHITE TURNIP. (See cut.) 5c. pkt. ; 10c. oz. ; 15c.

YELLOW SUMMER TURNIP. Grows to a large size, excel- 

 lent to stand the heat and drought of summer. (See cut.) 5c. pkt. ; 

 10c. oz. ; If c. i lb. ; 55c. lb. 



FRENCH BREAKFAST. A variety of quick growth, mild and 

 tender, and one of the best for forcing. Oval form, scarlet tipped 

 with white. (See cut.) 5c. pkt.; 10c. oz.; 20c. ±lb.; 50c. lb. 



OLIVE-SHAPED SCARLET. A good summer variety, similar 

 to French Breakfast, but without the white^tips. (See cut.)^5c.

OLIVE-SHAPED WHITE, 

 lb. ; 55c. lb. 



YELLOW OVAL-SHAPED. (Neio.) Has very small leaves and 

 few of them, and these taper down gradually to the neck, which is 

 quite small. It matures in 30 days from time of sowing, and it pre- 

 serves its crispness quite late. The color is bright golden yellow, 

 and the bulb is free from small roots. The flesh is pure white, 

 solid and mild in flavor. Its shape and color both being so dis 

 tinct stamp it as an acquisition. Truckers will find a ready 

 market for it, as no variety presents a more attractive appearance 

 in the bunch. Price, 5c. pkt.; 15 oz. ; 40c. I lb. ; $1.00 lb. 

 BECKERT'S CHARTIER. An excellent variety for summer use. 

 The color at top is crimson running into pink at middle and ta- 

 pering off waxy widte. 5c. pkt. ; 10c. oz. ; 20c. £ lb. ; 65c. lb. 

 HENDERSON'S WHITE CHARTIER. This white form of our 

 old favorite Chartier needs little introduction. It is of course 

 a late Radish, succeeding best when treated as a summer 

 or fall variety, the fall season being best adapted to bringing out 



the good features of 

 nearly all root crops. 

 It matures in about 40 

 days from time of sow- 

 ing and remains fit for 

 use for about 14 days 

 after. The flesh is crisp. 

 tender, pure white, and 

 the bulb is free from 

 any roughness. The 

 flavor is mild and it is 

 invaluable for slicing. 

 The tops are short and 

 it matures about the 

 same as the old Chartier 

 and is, in every respect 

 the most valuable mar- 

 ket variety of its shape 

 and color. (See cut.)
