RADISH. 



CULTURE. — This is a popular vegetable, and grown to a large extent. The ground 

 for Radishes should be rich and mellow. The early small varieties can be sown broad- 

 cast among other crops, such as beets, peas, spinach, or where lettuce has been trans- 

 planted. Early varieties are sown in this section the whole year, but during Summer 

 they require frequent watering to make them grow quickly. The Yellow Summer Turnip 

 or Golden Globe, Early Scarlet Turnip White Tipped, White Summer Turnip and White 

 Strasburg are best for planting during the Summer months. Winter varieties, however, 

 require some time to mature, and the seed should be planted in August and September 

 for good Radishes in November and December. Very popular in the Spring for shipping 

 North. Radishes constitute one of our most staple vegetables for shipping to Northern 

 markets. Matures in 25 to 40 days. One ounce to 150 feet of drill; 8 pounds to the 

 acre. Radishes suffer from many insect pests which destroy both the tops and the 

 roots. Where these insects are leaf eaters Corona Dry is almost a sure specific. It 

 should be liberally applied as soon as any pests are noted and should be repeated from 

 time to time throughout the season. 



CRIMSON GIANT TURNIP RADISH. — 



A round Radish of exceptionally large size 

 for so early a variety. The roots are nearly 

 globe shaped, of beautiful crimson-car- 

 mine color and most excellent quality. It 

 is a desirable variety for general outdoor 

 planting, and also suitable for forcing 

 where a very large, round Radish is want- 

 ed. It remains in condition a long time.

 market variety. Packet 5c and 10c; oz.,
