 It makes roots fit for use in about twenty-five days from time of planting, and they con- 

 tinue in good condition imtil they are full grown, when they are as large as the Wood's 

 Early Frame. It has a small top, and does not run to neck. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c: 2 Oz. 16c:

of the ground, and is a standard and excellent sort either for private gardens or market 

 use, continuing brittle and tender until quite large. Tlie roots are very uniform in shape, 

 smooth and very bright red in color. The flesh is wliite and crisp. This is the variety 

 grown so extensively in Petite Cote, Ontario, where the finest radishes in America are 

 produced. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; ^ Lb. 20c; Lb. 60c. See colored plate, page 7. 



WOOD'S EARLY FRAME. This is not only a good variety for forcing, being shorter and 

 thicker than the old Long Scarlet Short Top, but is one of the very best sorts for first crop 

 out of doors. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; ^ Lb. 20c; Lb. 60c. 



CINCINNATI MARKET GARDENERS'. Very similar to Early Long Scarlet, Short Top

 longer. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; 3^ Lb. 20c; Lb. 70c.

 able of the white summer sorts. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; ^ Lb. 20c; Lb. 60c. See

the very best for sowing outdoors. The roots come to usable size very early, remaining 

 hard and crisp until they reach a diameter of an inch or more, and so furnish good roots 

 for a much longer time than any of the preceding varieties. Roots scarlet rose above, 

 shading into white at the tip. They are long, cylindrical for the upper two-thirds and 

 then gradually taper to the tip. Flesh white, crisp and mild flavored. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 10c;

the New York marlfet. The roots are oval, very smooth and 

 handsome; bright, light yellow color, and of fine quality.

 thus covering a long season. The mature roots are four to five 



inches long and about two inches thick, very white; the flesh is exceedingly crisp and 



tender. One of the best of the large summer sorts. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 16c;

tender and brittle, of perfect globe shape, and golden colored skin. It seems to produce

lines. Flesh mild, of greenish-white color, and moderately solid. Medium early, and a good 



variety for summer use. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; ^ Lb. 20c; Lb. 60c. 



Rlftrl^ ^lltniTIPr "^^'^ variety may be treated hke a summer radish with the most satis- 

 Uiai./li ollllllllvl factory results, or it may be used as a winter sort. Top compara- 

 tively small. Roots rather large, long, tapering to a point; skin deep black; flesh white, firm, crisp,

-^Winter Rad lathes -^ 



Winter Radishes are not appreciated and grown by Americans as much as their merit warrants. They are easily grown, 

 have few insect enemies and can be easily preserved through the winter and there is no vegetable which furnishes a more 

 acceptable relish. While quick growth is not so essential for these as for the earlier sorts, they do best on a rich soil which 

 has been made as fine and friable as possible. Sow late in spring or in early summer in rows eighteen inches apart and thin 

 the plants to four to eight to the foot. They may be pulled as wanted through the fall and on the approach of severe freez- 

 ing weather should be harvested, part packed in damp sand and stored in a cool cellar or other easily accessible, cool place 

 for winter use and the balance buried in the ground as one would bury potatoes for spring use.
