DREER S SELECTEIJ CARDINAL GLOBE RADISH 



Dreer's Selected Cardinal Globe. {See ait.) Our 



seed of this leading forcing radish is the purest on the market, 

 having been continually improved both in color and shape. 

 The radishes grow globular in shape, and are of a most bril- 

 liant cardinal-red color. It will stand considerable heat ; 

 therefore it is a quick forcer, and the quality is fine, being 

 crisp and tender. It is by far the best variety for forcing, and 

 aI«o does well in open ground. The beautiful appearance and 

 color of this radish make it a good seller. Oz., lo cts ; 

 % lb., 25 cts. ; lb., 80 cts. 5 lbs. or more at 75 cts. per lb.

 mild and tender, beautiful scarlet color tipped with white.

 short leaves, bright scarlet, with white tip. Oz , 10 cts. ; ^

Triumph. When mixed in the bunch with Scarlet Radishes 

 it makes a pleasing contrast. The radishes are globe shape, 

 having bright scarlet stripes on a white ground. It is a 

 splendid forcing variety, with short top, small leaves, and 

 matures quickly. The warmth of the hot-bed makes its pecu- 

 liar coloring quite prominent. It can also be grown in the 

 open ground, and is of mild, pleasing flavor. Oz., 10 cts. ;

Icicle iladish. ( See cut. ) This variety is of great value, 

 as it can be grown in the forcing frames, and makes fine rad- 

 ishes about three and a half inches long and half inch in 

 diameter in three weeks from the time of sowing the seed. 

 These radishes are a beautiful transparent white, have small 

 tops, allowing close planting and are very crisp and brittle. 

 A feature greatly in favor of the " Icicle " is that it remains in 

 good condition while growing for a long time, thus allowing a 

 continuous pulling from same planting, while with other sorts 

 the radishes are liable to get pethy if not pulled at a certain 

 stage of growth. Oz., 10 cts. ; X 'b-, 25 cts. ; lb., 80 cts. 



DREER S CRYSTAL l^ORCING RADISH 



Dreer's Crystal Forcing. {See cut.) Quick growth, 

 beautiful shape, small top. This is a very desirable and 

 shapely radish ; in fact, we consider it quite superior to any 

 other white forcing radish we know of. It is of quick growth 

 and very mild flavor. The tops grow remarkably small, but 

 sufficient to allow of easy tying, when bunching for market. 

 It can also be grown satisfactorily in the open ground, making 

 it a profitable sort for the market gardener to.grow. Compared 

 with such white .sorts as White Box, Round White Forcing, 

 etc., it is far superior in every way. Oz., 10 cts. ; ^ lb., 25

Round White Forcing. This variety matures very 

 early. The radishes are small, of the round or button type, 

 and have small tops. It is grown largely by those who like 

 small white radishes, and as the seed can be planted closely, it 

 is a desirable sort for hot-bed sowing. Oz., 10 cts. ; ^ lb., 

 20 cts. ; lb., 55 cts.
