Scarlet Globe Radish 

 CULTURE 



Radishes thrive best in light, rich, mellow soil, and to bring out their 

 mild qual.ties they must make quick and tender growth. Sow for very 

 early use in hotbeds during the winter and early spring, or later on in 

 shetered borders in well-manured, deeply-dug and finely-raked soil. If 

 not well stimulated into a rapid growth they become fibrous and tough. 

 Sow in drills 10 inches apart and thin to 2 inches in the rows. Sow at 

 intervals of 2 or 3 weeks until September for a succession. Sow winter 

 varieties in July and August. Like the turnips they make the best growth 

 in the autumn, and must be taken out before severe frost and stored away 

 in a cool cellar in sand or in a pit where they will keep tender and crisp 

 all winter. Before using, put in cold water, which adds to their freshness. 



Extra Early Round Varieties 



79. Bolgiano's No. 2 Scarlet Globe Radish. 



("Best in Garden" Variety.) (25 days.) See illustra- 

 tion above.) Is the very best in every way. It is 

 handsome in form and color, beautiful oval and rich 

 scarlet. The amount of its foliage is small, com- 

 pared with other varieties, and small for the size of the 

 radish. The peculiar merit of this variety as a forcing 

 radish is that it will bear the heat requisite for forc- 

 ing without becoming pithy or spongy. The flesh is 

 tender, juicy and mild. It is equally as good for open 

 garden as for forcing, and therefore it commends itself 

 equally to the amateur and market gardener. Pkt.
