CULTURE OF RADISH.— Radishes thrive best in a light, rich, mellow soil, and to bring out their mild qualities they must make a 

 quick and tender growth. Sow for very early use in hot beds 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 fibrous and tough. Sow 

 in drills io 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 Jul\ and August. Like the turnip, they make the best growth in autumn, and must betaken out before 

 severe frost and stored away in a cool cellar in sand, or a pit, where they will keep tender and crisp all winter. Before using, put in 

 cold water, which adds to their freshness.

 and matures in twenty days. It looks beautiful on the

 ommendation to those who have already used it, and others

No. 2 SCARLET GLOBE RADISH. 



Bolgiano's No. 2 Scarlet Globe Radish. 



Is the best in every way. It is handsome in form 

 and color, a 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 with- 

 out becoming pithy or spongy. The flesh is tender, 

 juicy and mild. It is equally as good for open gar- 

 den culture as for forcing, and, therefore, it com- 

 mends itself equally to the amateur and market 

 gardener. Packet, 5 cents. Ounce, 10 cents. 

 % Pound, 20 cents. 1 pound, 60 cents.

 ket gardeners find it satisfies the market demand, and sells better

 ornament the private table and embellish the market stall. It has been

 deners use it in 100 pound lots. It is annually grown more and
