Grow Radishes Rapidly for Firm Smooth Roots 



Henderson's Rocket Radishes 



A dish of Rocket Radishes presents a most attractive appearance 

 when prepared for the table. They are used very extensively for forc- 

 ing, when they may be had in 21 days from sowing. They do well out- 

 doors, but must be grown under conditions that induce rapid growth, 

 to acquire proper flavor and crispness.

Henderson's New Radish 



"Rose Rocket" 



751 Wnat particularly distinguishes the new rocket variety and sets 

 it apart from all others is its soft rose pink colored skin; the 

 coloring of which extends to the very tip of the radish. The flesh is 

 white and tender, firm and crisp, very juciy and mildly pungent. Like 

 the other Rocket Radishes, it is especially suited for growing under glass 

 during the winter, on account of the small top, and it may be grown 

 ready for the table in twenty-one days. 



Henderson's New Rose Rocket will do equally well outdoors, but 

 like all radishes, they must, of course be grown quickly, and pulled as 

 soon as ready. (See illustration.) Price, pkt. 15c; oz. 30c; K lb. SI. 00.

 increasing in popularity. Cooked in any form. Salsify is whole-

 apparent when sliced and fried; it may also be served and eaten as 

 Asparagus. It is one of the best remedies for various forms of indiges-

 from the skin; the surface should therefore be broken as little as possible
