RADISH, Continued 



EARLY LONG RADISHES 



ICICIiE. 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. Hand 

 some, cylindrical roots, 5 to 7 inches 

 long, with smooth, white skin and 

 fine-grained white flesh. (See illus- 

 tration.) 



CINCINNATI MARKET. The most se- 

 lect 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 brit- 

 tle flesh. Our stock is very short- 

 topped; excellent for both forcing and 

 outdoors.

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. 



BECKERT'S IMPROVED CHARTIER. (See illustration to left.) This greatly improved 

 Radish is the finest long red variety in existence. Slightly later than the Cincinnati 

 Market, but better in quality; will stand far longer; in all respects superior to any 

 other long Radish. Rosy scarlet with white tip. 



LONG WHITE VIENNA. Long and slender; snow- 

 white; flesh crisp, tender and brittle; of rapid growth. 



WHITE STRASBURG. Half -long and thick; skin and 

 flesh white. An excellent sort for either summer or 

 fall. Firm, crisp, and of mild flavor. 



GIANT STUTTGART. Very large; globular in shape; 

 pure white; stands heat well. 



GOLDEN GLOBE. Our seeds are choicest French- 

 grown. Russet color; sweet and crisp. A favorite in 

 all parts of the country; valued for its heat-resist- 

 ance.

 tains a length of 12 inches and a diameter of 4 to 5 

 inches. Flesh crisp, mild, and sweet in flavor. 



CHINESE ROSE. Half-long; flesh pink, solid, of excel- 

 lent quality. 



LONG BLACK SPANISH. Roots black; the flesh Is

 strous size. Reaches a weight of fifteen pounds. Can

 son for its development. Should be sown in rows 

 and thinned out to stand 10 inches apart.
