VEGETABLE SEEDS 



EARLY LONG RADISHES 



ICICLE. If there is any one Radish that 

 deserves the title of "best all-round" for 

 the home garden, it is White Icicle. Good 

 early or late, it resists the heat as well as 

 any of the extra-early varieties and the 

 quality of its flesh is always pleasing. 

 Handsome, cylindrical roots, 5 to 7 inches 

 long, with smooth, white skin and fine- 

 grained white flesh. (See illustration.) 

 Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., 14 lb. 40 cts.,

CINCINNATI MARKET. The most select 

 strain of the Long Scarlet Short Top type. 

 The roots grow 6 to 7 inches long and are 

 bright scarlet, slightly tipped white, with 

 very brittle flesh. Our stock is very short- 



snow-white ; 

 Pkt. 10 cts.

 topped; excellent for both forcing and outdoors. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., X 4 lb. 40 cts., lb. $1.25. 



RADISHES BEST FOR SUMMER USE 



The following five varieties are particularly valuable in that they extend the Radish season by at 

 least two months. Any of these varieties may be sown up to August and will be in prime condition 

 throughout the hot months when all early Radishes will have become pithy. Beckert's Chartier is 

 the earliest of the summer Radishes, being ready for table in about 45 days after date of sowing seeds. 

 Golden Globe is, perhaps, the greatest heat resister in this class.

WINTER RADISHES 



The Winter Radishes must be sown before July, as they 

 develop slowly and the roots of all varieties grow to very large 

 size. It is desirable therefore that seeds be sown very thinly, 

 and the seedlings should be thinned out to stand from 4 to 12 

 inches apart in the row, taking the 4-inch distance for the Span- 

 ish varieties and the greater distance for the Chinese and Japa- 

 nese kinds. Use the large Chinese varieties before Christmas. 

 By storing the Spanish varieties in sand or soil, in the cellar, 

 they will keep in crisp condition until nearly the middle of 

 March.
