COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL 



RADISH 



Ger. Rcttig. Fr. Radis 



One ounce luill sow loo feet of drill 



The radish is very hardj^ and can be sown as early 

 as the ground ^Yill admit. To be crisp and tender 

 they should make a quick growth. The soil should 

 be very rich and light; sow the seeds in drills one 

 foot apart and cover half an inch deep; thin while 

 small from two to three inches apart; hoe often; for 

 a succession sow at intervals of two weeks. To keep 

 tlio beetle from destroying them sprinkle with ashes 

 or air-slacked lime. The winter varieties should be 

 sown in August; they must be taken up before severe 

 frosts and stored in a cool cellar and covered with 

 earth. Put them in cold water an hour before using. 

 Every family should raise a supply of winter radishes.

Long Scarlet 



EARLY LONG SCARLET SHORT TOP. 



This is the standard sort, grown in private gardens 

 and for market. It has a bright scarlet root and 

 small top. In suitable soil it grovrs quickly, half 

 out of the ground and very brittle. Per pkt. 4

CINCINNATI MARKET or GLASS. This 



fine variety has been grown for many years by 

 the market gardeners around Cincinnati. The tops 

 are so very small that the radishes may stand 

 touching each other in the rows. They grow 

 straight and smooth, six to seven inches long. 

 Their attractive, glossy, scarlet skin is very thin, 

 and the flesh crisp and brittle. Without doubt it 

 is the finest long red Radish for forcing, and also 

 and EXTRA FINE sort for the home garden. Per 

 pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., ^ lb. 20 cts., lb. 60 cts. 



GOLDEN DRESDEN. We can recom- 

 mend it alike for family garden and for market as 

 one of the most valuable and quick growing ra- 

 dishes. The tops are very scant and admit of clos- 

 est planting. The radishes are perfectly round, 

 smooth, and with attractive, light golden-brown 

 skin. The flesh is crisp, white juicy, and of the 

 finest flavor. Market gardeners can either grow 

 this new radish in the garden, or force it, and 

 depend upon a remarkably perfect, early and uni- 

 form crop. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., ^4 lb lb. 20 

 cts., lb. 60 cts.
