RADISH 



Radishes are one of the most popular spring and summer 

 vegetables, and it is easy by successive sowings to have a 

 generous supply throughout the entire season. 



We have divided the varieties into four classes, and call 

 attention especially to the long-rooted sorts which remain in 

 condition a long time before becoming pithy. 



Suggest that you try the White Chinese Winter, sowing 

 the seed the same time as recommended for turnips. 



CL'LTL'RE. Radishes thrive best in a light, rich, mellow soil, and 

 to bring qualities they must make quick and tender 



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

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

 and cnely-raked soil. If not well stimulated into a rapid growth they 

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

 inches in the rows. Sow at intervals of 2 or J 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 will keep tender and crisp all winter. Before using put in 

 cold water, which adds to their fresh- 



188. Model White Box. An early variety, very popular 

 with market gardeners. Radishes grow 1 and \', 2 inches in 

 diameter, with pure paper-white skin ; crisp, mild flesh. Large- 

 ly planted in the field for the earliest market crop. Pkts. 5 

 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; % lb. 25 cts.; lb. 85 cts. 



37. Vick's Scarlet Globe. V forcing radish. Small foliage; 

 quick in growth; fine color and remains solid under all condi- 

 tions. Pkts- 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; ' 4 lb. 30 cts-; lb. $1.00 



79. 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 

 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 as for forcing, and therefore it commends itself 

 equallv to the amateur and market gardener. Pkts. 

 5 and 10 cts-; oz. 15 cts.; y A lb. 30 cts.; lb- $1.00. 



91. Scarlet Turnip White-Tip Radish. Nature 

 almost exhausted itself in making this beautiful 

 radish to ornament the private table and embellish 

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



Scarlet Globe Radish. 



Scarlet Turnip White Tip Radish 



ket in two weeks after planting, and always is a 

 vry 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 de- 

 mand everywhere. Pkts. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; 

 U lb 25 cts.; lb. 85 cts. 



193. Crimson Giant. This new radish is an en- 

 tirely new type and differs radically from all the 

 varieties hitherto in cultivation, in so far as its 

 roots attain more than double the size of those of 

 other turnip varieties, without getting pithy or hol- 

 low. This giant radish develops roots of 6 to 7 

 inches in circumference and over an ounce in weight, 

 their pure white flesh remaining firm and crisp and 

 of the mildest flavor, but notwithstanding the ex- 

 traordinary size and weight of the roots. The seed 

 should be 'sown very thinly to permit full develop- 

 ment of the roots. Pkts. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; 

 "4 lb. 30 cts.; lb. $1.00, postpaid. 

 10. Scarlet Olive-Shaped. This radish, olive 

 shaped, has a distinct, bright-scarlet color. The 

 whole crop maturing at one time makes it very 

 desirable. It is among the best shippers. Pkts. 5 

 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; l A lb- 35 cts.; lb. $1.00. 

 C47. French Breakfast. Elongated olive- 

 shaped roots : color bright carmine with base of 

 root and top root clear white. Pkts. 5 and 10 cts.; 

 oz. 15 cts.; H lb- 35 cts ; lb. $1.00. 



EARLY LONG VARIETIES 



59. 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. Pkts. 5 and 10 cts.; 

 oz. 15 cts.; J4 lb. 25 cts.; lb. 85 cts
