RADISHES 



905 



Long Scarlet 



A long red Radish in large demand in certain markets. It is 

 quite similar to Long Brightest Scarlet White-tipped, although, 

 taken as a whole, is not considered quite up to the latter variety 

 in attractiveness or quality. It is a crisp, tender Radish, however, 

 which will grow quickly. Its season is not long for it must be 

 pulled comparatively early after maturity. The color is a deep 

 red and when prepared for the table is altogether very attractive.

Bright 

 Breakfast 



An improved form of the old 

 French Breakfast. An olive- 

 shaped Radish, deep scarlet in 

 color except for a small white 

 tip at the base of the root. It 

 will mature in about twenty- 

 eight days, but its season is 

 shorter than the Sparkler White- 

 Tip, which variety it resembles 

 except in its slightly darker 

 color and its olive shape. It is 

 a very attractive Radish but not 

 considered as desirable for gen- 

 eral purposes as the Sparkler.

S. S. Long White Icicle Radish 



S. S. Long 

 While Icicle 



A Radish in very general use 

 for all purposes. It is a long, 

 clear white Radish, growing 5 to 

 6 inches in length before becom- 

 ing pithy. It will mature about 

 five days later than the Scarlet 

 Globe, and ten days earlier than 

 the S. S. Snow-white Box. It 

 will hold several days before 

 becoming pithy. The stock 

 offered is reasonably uniform. 

 The shape tapers regularly from 

 near the shoulder to the tip, 

 holding its thickness for nearly 

 its full length, the thickest part 

 being 1 inch from the top. Pkt. 

 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilh. 25 cts., 

 lb. 80 cts. 



Qianl Crimson 



Growers desiring a larger, later Scarlet Globe should carefully 

 consider the merits of Giant Crimson. It is a Radish nearly 

 twice as large as the former variety, maturing fully one week 

 later. Its shape is nearly round, color bright crimson, and it will 

 hold longer before becoming pithy, its maximum size in that 

 stage being about 1^ inches long by 1}^ inches in diameter. It 

 is slightly smaller than S. S. Snow-White Box described on 

 page 53, but will mature five to ten days ahead of that variety. 

 Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 30 cts., lb. $1. 



Sparkler White-Tip 



One of the most attractive and desirable Radishes in our list. 

 The color is a very deep scarlet, with a distinct white tip covering 

 about one-third of the lower diameter of the root. It will mature 

 under favorable conditions, in about twenty-eight days and will 

 hold longer before becoming pithy than some of the earlier 

 Radishes described before. Its maximum size before becoming 

 over-ripe is about IJ^ inches in diameter. In shape it is nearly 

 round and slightly flattened on the under side. The quality of 

 this Radish is superb and, taken all in all, it is one of the very 

 finest varieties for all outdoor purposes and should be in more 

 general use. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 25 cts., lb. 80 cts. 



890 



S. S. Scarlet Olive-Shaped 



A variety similar to the S. S. Scarlet Globe except in shape of 

 the root. Scarlet Olive-shaped being longer, as is suggested by its 

 name. Its maximum size before becoming pithy is 1 J-^ inches by 

 ]/g inch. It will mature, under favorable conditions, in about 

 twenty-five days, but under unfavorable conditions, as is the 

 case with most Radishes, it will take about ten days longer. 

 Its color is deep red and the interior of the root white, mild, 

 crisp and tender. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., V^lb. 30 cts., lb. $1. 



903 



Long Brightest Scarlet 

 White-Tipped 



In our opinion one of the most attractive and desirable Rad- 

 ishes for all outdoor purposes. The root grows about 43^ inches 

 long before becoming pithy, is cylindrical in shape, smooth and 

 uniform. In color it is a brilliant scarlet through its entire length 

 except for a small white tip at the bottom of the root. It will 

 mature, under favorable conditions, in twenty-one to twenty-five 

 days, its season being comparatively short. As compared with 

 Long White Icicle it is five days earlier in maturity, but corres- 

 pondingly shorter in season. As compared with SVood's Early 

 Frame, a very similar variety. Long Brightest Scarlet White- 

 tipped is far more attractive, the former having a very pale skin. 

 Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 25 cts., lb. 80 cts. 



SUMMER RADISHES 



White Strasburg 



A large summer Radish desirable for late planting when other 

 earlier and smaller varieties will not keep in condition. It will 

 mature in about forty days and remain in condition for a com- 

 paratively long time. Its maximum size before becoming pithy 

 is at least 5 inches in length and 1 }/2 inches in diameter. The color 

 is white, with a slightly green ivory tinge. One-fifth of the root 

 usually grows above ground. Its shape is cylindrical; its quality 

 very fine and is not surpassed by any Radish of this class. Pkt. 

 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 25 cts., lb. 80 cts. 



910 



Chartier, or Shepherd 



A summer variety somewhat similar to the Long Brightest 

 Scarlet White-tipped. As compared to that variety it is lighter 

 in color, being a dull pink for about two-thirds of its length, 

 shading to a clear white at the tip. It will, however, remain 

 longer before turning pithy than the latter variety and for this 

 reason is more desirable for some purposes. For spring 

 planting we do not consider it as desirable as the Long 

 Brightest Scarlet White-tipped. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., V4lb. 25 

 cts., lb. 80 cts.
