HENDERSON'S SELECTION OF 



Early Round Radishes. 



EARLY ROUND DARK RED RADISH. The finest type 

 of the Early Sc'arlet turnip-shaped claSS, producing 

 handsome, ball-shaped radishes of medium size, ready 

 for use in about 20 days from sowing; surface smooth 

 and of rich dark red ; Sesh white as snow, crisp and of 

 mild flavor. It remains fit -to use for a considerable 

 time. (See cut.) Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. ! 4 lb., 

 80c. lb. 



WHITE-TIPPED EARLY SCARLET TURNIP RADISH. 



A superior strain of this variety, so popular both for 

 outdoor culture and growing in frames; of medium size; 

 shape very uniform and round; color bright scarlet, 

 with a distinct white tip, contrasting vividly and making 

 it very attractive; mild, crisp, white flesh; matures in 

 25 davs. (See cut.) Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. 34 lb., 

 80c. lb. 



HENDERSON'S ROSE TURNIP RADISH. This is one 

 of the best and most beautiful Radishes we have ever 

 seen. It is similar to the round dark red in shape and 

 size, and has a small, compact top and a miniature tap- 

 root. It is very early, requiring only 23 days to mature, 

 and remains in good condition for 10 days. Its tender- 

 ness and delicate flavor, added to its charming rosy-pink 

 color, render it very attractive. (See cut.) Price, 10c. 

 pkt., 15c. oz., 35c. i 4 lb., $1.00 lb. 



EARLY CRIMSON GIANT TURNIP RADISH. Double 

 the size of any of the early turnip-shaped type. This 

 variety develops to 5 and often 6 inches in circumference, 

 weighing up to 1 ounce per bulb, or about four times 

 the weight of similar sorts; but notwithstanding its 

 immense size, does not get hollow or pithy, the flesh 

 remaining sparklingly white, solid, crisp and juicy, 

 and of the mildest flavor. The shape of the roots varies 

 between round and almost oval, but the bright, deep 

 crimson color of the skin remains quite constant. 

 Excellent both for forcing and open-ground culture.

HENDERSON'S BREAKFAST RADISHES, 



The Three "KOCKETS." 



THE illustration gives an excellent idea of these splendid new 

 Radishes. A dish composed of these three Rocket Radishes, 

 prepared for the table, presents a most attractive appearance, 

 and we advise every lover of this vegetable to grow some of each. In 

 addition to their bright appearance, it is necessary to state that they 

 are absolutely the earliest varieties grown; they mature at exactly 

 the same time, and grow so quickly that they never take on that strong, 

 rank flavor which we associate with the later varieties. 



RED ROCKET RADISH. This variety has a very small top, which 

 permits close planting — a great advantage when grown under glass. 

 It is quite smooth, deep scarlet in color, with a ver\ r small root. 

 The flesh is crisp and of good flavor. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 

 15c. oz., 35c. \i lb., $1.00 lb. 



WHITE ROCKET RADISH. A trifle heavier than Red Rocket. It 

 has an equally small top; the root is pure white, while the color of 

 the flesh is distinct, being of a clear waxy-white. (See cut.) Price, 

 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 35c. j| lb., $1.00 lb. 



WHITE-TIPPED ROCKET RADISH. This is the ideal first early 

 Radish. For many years the old French Breakfast has held a fore- 

 most place among all the varieties offered. We have now to offer 

 a sort that possesses all of its merits, and, in addition, extreme 

 earliness. The color is deep rose, tipped white at the base. The 

 flavor is deliciouslv mild. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz. 35c.
