SEED GROWERS 51 
RADISH 
Our radish stocks are unequalled by any others to be had from American or European sources. 
Tons of stock seed are grown each year at our seed breeding stations from roots which are pulled, 
hand selected by skilled workers and replanted for seed production in carefully isolated fields. This 
is why our stocks are superior in earliness, uniformity and quality. We have indicated below the 
number of days required under favorable conditions to produce roots of satisfactory bunching size. 
CAVALIER Telegraph 
25 days. A highly colored and very attractive variety for all Code Word 
purposes, and especially for shipping. Tops small; roots oblong- RACAV 
globe, slightly longer than broad, very firm, and of bright, 
almost true scarlet, color. Especially adapted for growing on 
muck land. 
Cincinnati Market RACIN 
29 days. Popular home and market garden sort. Tops short and 
small. Roots 6—7 in. long, 5 in. thick; cylindrical, tapered near 
tip; deep red with purplish tinge; flesh white, mild, crisp. 
Comet RAOME 
27 days. Brightest colored of the bunching or table radishes. 
Globe-shaped. Suitable for use when 5% to 34 inches in diameter 
but become much larger without growing pithy. Tops slightly 
larger than Scarlet Globe. Roots clear, solid scarlet. 
Crimson Giant RASON 
29 days. Superior home and market garden sort. Tops medium 
small. Roots spherical to slightly top-shaped; deep scarlet; the 
largest of the early turnip rooted radishes; commonly attain diam- 
eter of 114 in. before becoming pithy; of unexcelled quality. 
EARLY SCARLET GLOBE (Short Top) RAGLO 
23 days. Our strain of this standard very early sort is superior and 
is equally valuable for out of door culture and for forcing. Tops 
small, ideal for bunching. Roots slightly elongated globe (so-called 
“‘broad-olive” shape); 114 in. long when ideal for use; slender, 
well defined tap root; uniform rich bright scarlet; flesh white, 
crisp and of splendid quality. 
EARLY SCARLET GLOBE (Medium Top) RAMED 
25 days. Similar to the short top strain, but tops larger. An 
excellent strain when grown outdoors especially in cool weather. 
Early White Giant Summer or Stuttgart RASTU 
43 days. Standard summer radish for home and market. Tops 
medium large and coarse. Roots roundish top shape; white and 
smooth; remain crisp and only mildly pungent until 3—4 in. long; 
can be stored successfully for early winter use.
