S. S. Snow- White Box Radish 



RADISHES 



One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet; 

 9 pounds will sow an acre 



Every variety of Radish offered by us is absolutely separate and dis- 

 tinct from every other. We have eliminated some twenty different varie- 

 ties which were either very similar to what we had already listed, or else 

 were simply a re-naming of the standard sorts. Planters should be ex- 

 tremely careful to purchase the varieties which are best suited for their 

 particular purpose, which is not new, for there is a great difference in 

 the habits and characteristics of Radishes. Well-bred, pedigreed seed is 

 of the utmost importance for a successful crop to be taken off. This past 

 season we have grown several acres of Radishes for seed on our Winder- 

 moor Farm, and this, together with certain carried-over stock which has 

 been proved to be up to our usual standard, will constitute the majority 

 of the stocks which we offer for sale this season. We are particularly 

 well supplied with good forcing stoctcs of Scarlet Globe, and greenhouse 

 men can depend thoroughly and absolutely on what we have to offer. 

 Where it is desired, we shall be very glad to supply liberal samples of 

 our seed for trial before a full order is given. 



875 S. S. Scarlet Globe 



Probably in larger general use for all purposes than any other Radish. 

 Scarlet Globe is of a rich, bright scarlet; the shape is short olive-shaped 

 or short oval, and the top is small. Under favorable conditions it will 

 mature about five days after the Startle, but under unfavorable con- 

 ditions it will take at least thirty days before maturing. Its maximum 

 size before becoming pithy is 1 J4 inches long by 5-4 inch in diameter. As 

 compared with Scarlet Clive-Shaped it is shorter, slightly lighter in color 

 and about two days earlier in maturing. The interior of the root is pure 

 white, mild, crisp and fine-grained. Its season is rather short and it must 

 be pulled reasonably soon after maturity. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 

 y 4 lb. 15 cts., lb. £0 cts. 



S. S. Scarlet Globe Radish 



881 S. S. Snow-White Box 



One of the most largely grown Radishes for outdoor cultivation. 

 The active demand for it is, no doubt, due entirely to its beautiful 

 ivory-white appearance and to the fact that it will probably remain 

 in condition longer after maturity than any other of the smaller 

 Radishes, for it will attain a size, under normal conditions, of IY2 

 inches in diameter before becoming pithy. In shape S. S. Snow- 

 White Box is round or nearly globular. It will mature in about 

 thirty-five days from planting. The interior of the root is pure white, 

 being pungent in flavor but very firm and crisp. All of the seed offered 

 has been grown on our own farm; thus any undesirable specimens 

 hive been eliminated. Fkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 15 cts., lb. 

 40 cts. 



892 Startle, or 20-Day Forcing 



An olive-shaped Radish, of a brilliant scarlet, maturing under 

 favorable conditions, in sixteen to twenty days. Its maximum size, 

 before becoming pithy, is 1}4, inches long by % inch in diameter. 

 This is the earliest Radish under cultivation. It must be pulled im- 

 mediately on attaining its full size, for otherwise it will become pithy 

 within a very few days. The flesh is white, crisp and of excellent 

 flavor. This variety is not advised except as a forcing sort. Pkt. 

 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 30 cts., lb. $1. 



905 Long Scarlet 



A long red Radish in large demand in certain markets. It is quite 

 similar to Long Brightest Scarlet White-tipped, although, taken as a 

 whole, it is not considered quite up to the latter variety in attractive- 

 ness or quality. It is a crisp, tender Radish, however, which will grow 

 quickly. Its season is not long for it must be pulled comparatively 

 early after maturity. The color is a deep red and when prepared for 

 the table it is altogether very attractive. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 

 15 cts., lb. 50 cts. 



903 Long Brightest Scarlet White-Tipped 



In our opinion one of the most attractive and desirable Radishes 

 for all outdoor purposes. The root grows about 4 inches long before 

 becoming pithy, is cylindrical in shape, smooth and uniform. In color 

 it is a brilliant scarlet through its entire length except for a small 

 white tip at the bottom of the root. It will mature, under favorable 

 conditions, in twenty-one to twenty-five days, its season being com- 

 paratively short. As compared with Long White Icicle it is five 

 days earlier in maturity, but correspondingly shorter in season. As 

 compared with Wood's Early Frame, a very similar variety, Long 

 Brightest Scarlet White-tipped is far more attractive, the former 

 having a very pale skin. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, Vilb. 15c, lb. 50c. 



900 S. S. Long White Icicle 



A Radish in very general use for all purposes. It is a long, clear 

 white Radish, growing 5 to 6 inches in Ieninh before becoming pithy. 

 It will mature about five days later than the Scarlet Globe, and ten 

 days earlier than the S. S. Snow-White Box. It will hold several 

 days before becoming pithy. The stock offered is reasonably uniform. 

 The shape tapers regularly from near the shoulder to the tip, holding 

 its thickness for nearly its full length, the thickest part being 1 inch 

 from the top. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 15 cts., lb. 40 cts. 



877 Giant Crimson 



Growers desiring a larger, later Scarlet Globe should carefully 

 consider the merits of Giant Crimson. It is a Radish nearly twice 

 as large as the former variety, maturing fully one week later. Its 

 shape is nearly round, color bright crimson, and it will hold longer 

 before becoming pithy, its maximum size in that stage being about 

 1 ?4 inches long by 1 M inches in diameter. It is slightly smaller than 

 S. S. Snow-White Box described on this page, but will mature five to 

 ten days ahead of that variety. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 15 

 cts., lb. 50 cts. 



879 Sparkler White-Tip 



One of the most attractive and desirable Radishes in our list. The 

 color is a very deep scarlet, with a distinct white tip covering about 

 one-third of the lower diameter of the root. It will mature, under 

 favorable conditions, in about twenty-eight days and will hold longer 

 before becoming pithy than some of the earlier Radishes described 

 before. Its maximum size before becoming over-ripe is about 1 ] 4 

 inches in diameter. In shape it is nearly round and slightly flattened 

 on the under side. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 15 cts., lb. 50 cts. 



890 S. S. Scarlet Olive-Shaped 



A variety similar to the S. S. Scarlet Globe except in shape of the 

 root, Scarlet Olive-Shaped being longer, as is suggested by its name. 

 Its maximum size before becoming pithy is 1 ^2 inches by % inch. 

 It will mature, under favorable conditions, in about twenty-five 

 days, but under unfavorable conditions, as is the case with most 

 Radishes, it will take about ten days longer. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 

 Vilb. 15 cts., lb. 50 cts. 



894 Bright Breakfast 



An improved form of the old French Breakfast. An olive-shaped 

 Radish, deep scarlet in color except for a small white tip at the base 

 of the root. It will mature in about twenty-eight days, but its season 

 is shorter than the Sparkler White-Tip, which variety it resembles 

 except in its slightly darker color and its olive shape. It is a very 

 attractive Radish. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 25 cts., lb. 80 cts.
