DREER'S MARKET GARDENERS' WHOLESALE PRICE LIST 



2J 



RADISH 



New Perfection. (See cut.) This type of Radish, 

 having red skin with a white tip, has long been a great 

 lavorite, and with this variety the white portion extends much 

 farther up than is the case with ordinary Scarlet Turnip 

 White Tip Radish. The upper portion is a lich, brilliant red, 

 showing in great contrast to the lower portion, which is pure 

 white and adding greatly to its attractive appearance. The 

 general contour is turnip-shape, and size medium, very uni 

 form, with flesh crisp, tender and sparkling. The rapidity of 

 its growth recommends "New Perfection" for growing in the 

 greenhouse, but it is equally as valuable for growing outside. 

 Oz., 20 cts.; ^i lb., 60 cts. ; lb., ^2.00. 



Round Red Forcing. An excellent variety of early 

 turnip Radish for forcing. It comes quick, is of fine shape, 

 being nearly round, and has very attractive dark-red skin. 

 The flesh is white, very tender and juicy. It is also a good 

 variety for early planting in the garden. Oz. , 20 cts.; ^ lb., 

 60 cts.; lb., J2.00. 



I'rencll Breakfast. A very handsome variety, oblong 

 shape, rapid growth, mild and tender, beautiful scarlet color 

 tipped with white. It does best when grown in the hot bed 

 and its rapid growth and small top make it a good variety for 

 forcing, but it should be used early or will get hollow. Oz., 

 20 cts.; '^ lb., 60 cts.; lb., )?2.oo. 



Early Scarlet Turnip. A good variety for growing out- 

 side, as it may be planted early in the spring and makes a 

 quick growth. The top is small and root nearly round, 

 bright scarlet in color and so solid that it remains in good 

 condition for some time before becoming soft and the quality 

 is good. Oz., 15 cts.; )i lb., 50 cts.; lb., %\.Ti 



Dreer's Selected Cardinal Globe. {See cut.) This 

 is the crisp little red radish that is ready for market at a very 

 early date and always meets with ready sale. The radishes 

 grow globular in shape, and the skin is of a most brilliant car- 

 dinal-red color, flesh white. It will stand considerable heat 

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

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

 also does well in open ground, thus making it the most vaUi- 

 ble early variety for market. Oz. , 15 cts.; ^ lb., 50 cts.; 

 lb., $1.75. By express or freight at purchaser's expense, 

 5 lbs. or more at ^1.50 per lb. 



Dreer's Crimson Ball. This is an entirely distinct 

 variety, and while of the same shape as the true red turnip 

 radish, the flesh is tinged with red, a very unique feature and 

 the quality is excellent, being crisp, tender and juicy. Oz., 

 20 cts.; )^ lb., 60 cts.; lb., $2.co. 



Crimson Oiant. Suitable for forcing or early planting out 

 of doors and in either case it will prove satisfactoy to all 

 who grow it. The root is round to oval in shape, very solid 

 with rich crimson skin and sparkling while flesh which is 

 crisp, juicy and of excellent quality. It may be used during 

 a long season, as unlike most forcing radishes which soon be- 

 come pithy and unfit for use, it will continue to grow to a 

 large size and still remain solid and juicy. Oz., 20 cts.; % 

 lb., 60 cts.; lb., ;j2.oo. 



White-tipped Scarlet Gem. A good variety for forc- 

 ing, for which purpose it is largely used by market gardeners.
