PHIXADKLPHIA OARDENEKS' LONG SCAR- 

 IjET. This very excellent 

 new strain is the result of 

 years of patient and careful 

 seleetion. There is just as 

 much ditterence between this 

 strain and the European as 

 generally sold, as there is 

 between the American and 

 European p:rown )>otato. 

 Briefly stated, the improve- 

 ments are these : it is fully six 

 (lays earlier, has a shorter 

 and more compact top, will 

 lemain in the ground longer 

 without becoming pithy or 

 going to seed. In shape it is 

 somewhat shorter and thicker, 

 thus enabling it to withstand 

 transi>ortation better, "which is 

 a very desirable feature. In 

 color the upper portion is of an 

 unusually deep brilliant 

 red, Avhich gradually shades 

 to a deep waxy pink towards 

 the tip. Owing to its hand- 

 some sliape,brilliantcolor and 

 fine eating qualities, it invari- 

 ably commands a higher 

 price, and more ready sale 

 than any other Long Scarlet. 

 Gardeners everywhere should 

 plantthisfinestrain. Noother 

 can equal it. Pkt., 5c.: oz.,

 EINGER RADISH. This is 

 unquestionably the finest 

 lonjj white radish in culti- 

 vation. Shape most attractive 

 and handsome, as shown in our 

 illustration, while in color it is 

 a beautiful f^now white. It is 

 of very rapid growth and its 

 fine white flesh is remark- 

 ably crisp, brittle and tender, 

 equally desirable for the mar- 

 ket or home garden. Sow

PHILADELPHIA 

 WHITE "BOX." This 

 variety, previous to our intro- 

 duction of Felton's Model 

 White Bo.x, which is super- 

 sedingit, was the most popular 

 Early White Radish grown by 

 Philadelphia gardeners. Its 

 short top and rapid growth 

 especially fits it for growing 

 under glass, in frames or 

 "boxes," hence its name; as 

 well as for early sowing on 

 squares or borders in the open 

 ground. Owing to its very few 

 short leaves, it can be sown 

 very thickly without causing 

 the leaves to "draw." Pkt.,

 85c.

Summer Varieties. 



NEW IMPROVED YELLOW SUMMER TURNIP. 



This exceedingly fine type of yellow summer radish, is the 

 result of hybridizing and many years' continued selection by 

 an experienced Philadelphia market gardener. The neck is 

 much smaller, leaves finer, flesh whiter and of a much better 

 shape, as shown in above cut. than the old Yellow Summer, 

 and always commands a readier sale at a higher figure, and 

 withstands the summer heat better. Market and private 

 gardeners will find it a most valuable acquisition. Pkt., 

 5c.; oz., lOc; J^ lb., 30e.; lb., 81.00. 



THE CENTRE LEAVES OF A RADISH SHOULD BE EATEN ALONG WITH THE RADISH, AS THEY 

 RENDER EASIER THE DIGESTION OF THE RADISH ITSELF.
