RADISHES FOR WINTER USE 



The varieties listed below should be sown in August for the best results. If sown earlier than that, they are subject to shoot to 

 seed without attaining their full development. These Radishes are of distinctly two types, the Chinese, which is of extra-large size 

 but of extremely tender and sweet flesh, and the Spanish types which are not so large but are of a very hard surface and splendid 

 keepers throughout the entire winter. 



920 



White Chinese (Celestial) 



Probably the largest Radish under cultivation, very often attaining a size of 12 inches in length. It is round in shape, tapering 

 Lo a small tap-root. The diameter of this Radish is about 6 inches when fully developed. It is desirable for table use at any period 

 of its growth but its quality is better when not too large. The flesh is pure white and comparatively mild in flavor notwithstanding 

 its large size. White Chinese is desirable for home or market-garden purposes and usually finds a ready demand. Pkt. 5 Cts., oz. 

 10 Cts., Vilh. 25 cts., lb. 90 cts. 



Chinese Rose (Scarlet China) 



For fall and winter use this variety is largely grown. The smooth skin is of a bright rose-color. 

 The flesh is white, solid and of a crisp, pungent quality. The shape of the root is cylindrical, being smaller 

 at the top than at the bottom, and attaining a length of about 5 inches by 2 inches in diameter when 

 fully matured. It is desirable for either small or large plantings. Pkt. 5 Cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilh. 25 cts., lb. 

 90 cts. 



I 



Round Scarlet China 



"All Seasons" is a synonym for this variety. It is quite similar to the Chinese Rose, but has a 

 slightly different shape and different habits of growing. It will mature in about six or seven weeks after 

 sowing and is a very good late sort, being an excellent keeper. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilh. 25 cts., 

 lb. 90 cts. 



926 



Half-Long Black Spanish 



W, The roots of this variety are of a grayish black color on the surface, having a white interior flesh 

 which is very crisp and pungent. They will be about 5 inches long when matured and nearly 2 inches in 

 diameter. There is a large demand for this Radish in the markets and the fact that it can be brought on 

 when competition is at low ebb makes it a splendid seller. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 25 cts., lb. 90 Cts.

Round Black Spanish 



This variety is very similar to the Half-Long except in shape, being nearly round, attaining a size about 4 inches in diameter. 

 The flesh is slightly coarser-grained than the variety described above, but is very crisp and pungent, and it will mature slightly later 

 than some of the Chinese types. The roots are not so mild, but under favorable conditions will attain a larger size. For table use 

 they should be pulled before they are fully grown. Pkt. 5 Cts., oz. 10 Cts., Vilb. 25 Cts., lb. 90 cts.
