RADISH 



Three Profitable Sorts for Market Growers 



Scarlet Globe. 



Glowing Ball 



Superior for Forcing 



This new variety is es- 

 pecially adapted for spring 

 and fall greenhouse forc- 

 ing. However, we do not 

 recommend Glowing Ball 

 for mid-winter greenhouse 

 use because in extensive 

 greenhouse trials the tops 

 produced in the winter 

 were too small and tender 

 to permit satisfactory 

 bunching. 



The roots are very uni- 

 form, round in shape, with 

 a thread-like tap root. The 

 color is bright brilliant 

 scarlet and makes a beau- 

 tiful bunch radish. This 

 variety is also good for 

 outdoor use. Price, oz. 

 15c, }i lb. 40c, lb. $1.25. 



The roots are a little longer than round, 

 the skin intense scarlet in color, with tiny 

 threadlike roots. We exercise unusual care to procure only perfect 

 stocks of this variety and we believe no better can be had. (See 

 engraving.) Price, oz. 15c, Y± lb. 35c, lb. $1.00. (10 lb. lots @ 90c, 

 25 lb. lots @ 75c lb., 100 lb. lots @ 60c lb.) 



Scarlet Globe, Special Greenhouse Stock 



A very fine strain of the Scarlet Globe type specially selected for 

 growing under glass. It has very small tops, a perfect deep globe 

 shaped root with a slender tap root. Color very striking and at- 

 tractive. Under favorable conditions ready for market in 21 days. 

 We unhesitatingly recommend this strain for planting in frames and 

 greenhouses. Price, oz. 15c, }4 lb. 40c, lb. $1.25. (10 lb. lots @ 

 $1.15 lb., 25 lb. lots @ $1.00 lb.) 



Sparkler. '^hi s * s OI * ne Early White Tipped Scarlet 

 " * Turnip type but the white tip is much more pro- 



nounced, in fact the white extends almost half way up the bulb. 



The flesh is firm and brittle, no tough- 

 ness whatsoever, and sparkling white 

 in color, very mild in flavor and holds 

 a long time before becoming pithy.
