Culture of Radish. Radishes thrive best in a light, rich, mellow soil, and to 

 bring out their mild qualities they must make quick and tender growth. Sow for very 

 early use in hotbeds during the winter and early spring, or later on, in sheltered 

 borders, in well-manured, deeply-dug and finely-raked soil. If not well stimulated 

 into a rapid growth, they become fibrous and tough. Sow in drills 10 inches apart 

 and thin to 2 inchcb in the rows. Sow at intervals of two or three weeks until Sep- 

 tember for a succession. Sow winter varieties in July and August. Like the turnip, 

 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 freshness. 



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 

 scarlei. The amount of its foliage is small, compared with other vari- 

 eties, 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 without becoming pithy or spongy. The flesh is tender, juicy 

 and mild. It is equally as good for open garden as for forcing, and 

 therefore it commends itself equally to the amateur and market gar- 

 dener. Pkt., 5c.: ounce, 10c. ; M lb., 15c.; lb., 50c.

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 market 

 in two weeks after planting, and always is a very 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 demand everywhere.

New Glass Radish. Quick growth, small top, bright color. The 

 best forcing radish. This brilliant, uniform radish is not so large as the 

 Long Scarlet Radish, but is similar in form and holds its size without 

 losing its nice proportion. It is slow to run to seed. Market gardeners 



find it satisfies the market demand and sells better than other long radishes. Packet, 5c.; ounce, 10c. ; J^ lb., 15c.; i4 lb.,

Cincinnati Market. This fine strain of the Long Scarlet Short-Top Radish has been

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
