5S8 White Box 



A most excellent radish for forcing under 

 glass or for growing In the open ground. Its 

 short top and rapid growth make It a great 

 favorite with market men, and its mild, sweet 

 quality wins the favor of the consumer. At 

 Philadelphia and elsewhere the market men 

 grow it extensively in glass covered frames 

 without heat. The frames are sometimes 

 called "boxes," and hence the name of the rad- 

 ish. Packet, 5 cts.i ounce, 10 cts.; J^ pouud, 

 as cts.; pound, 80 cts. 



601 White Lady Finger 



Sometimes called Long White Vienna. A fit 

 companion for Maule's Long Scarlet Short Top 

 being very much of the same character, but white 

 instead of red. It has been an extremely popu- 

 lar sort for years, and is one of the very best and 

 finest of the long white radishes. It is graceful in 

 form, and in flavor is sweet and mild, with brittle 

 flesh. It Is an especial favorite with many mar- 

 ket gardeners, and has undoubtedly taken a fresh 

 hold upon the popular taste, as the demand has 

 largely increased for my selected strain.

586 Cincinnati Market 



Sometimes called Glass Radish, in allusion to 

 its brittleness. This radish is widely sown in the 

 West, and is certainly of high quality, but I find 

 that It is almost identical with my Long Scarlet. 

 In my trial grounds I can see but little diflference 

 between the two sorts, except it may be some- 

 what larger in size and a little darker in color. ' 

 PIct., 5c.; oz., 10c. ; }{ lb., 30c.; lb., $1.00. 



600 Half Long Deep Scarlet 



This early maturing radish is much grown in 

 the South for early shipment. It is half long in 

 shape with a somewhat tapering point, and of a 

 rich red color. Flesh white, crisp and juicy. Does 

 equally as -well in the North. Packet, 5 cents; 

 ounce, lO cts.; 14 pound, 30 cts.; pound, $1.00.

OR SHEPHERD RAOISH. 



587 Chartiers or Shepherd 



A long, smooth radish, red above and shading to clear 

 white at the tip, as shown in the illustration. Large, but 

 both brittle and tender. Widely popular. This radish 

 makes a fine appearance on the market stall. 



Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; '^ lb., ^30 cts.; lb., $1.00. 



LONG CARDINAL RADISH. 



591 Long Cardinal 



Fit for use in 25 days from sowing. It is of a 

 bright red color, with white tip. Noted for its 

 crisp, tender flesh and good appearance. It is 

 smooth and uniform and highly colored; the 

 contrast of brightest cardinal with the white 

 tips is both effective and fetching. Being early 

 it is very profitable for marketing. 



Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c. ; Ji lb., 30c.; lb., $1.00. 



FRENCH BREAKFAST RADISH. 



592 French Breakfast 



This pretty radish in color is bright red, 



tipped with white. It is oblong in shape, and 



in quality is crisp and tender.' It is a quick 



grower, and is an exceedingly popular variety. 



Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; % lb., 25c.; lb., 80c. 



593 White Streisburg 



A white radish, of large size, good quality, 

 and ability to resist severe heat. I always re- 

 commend White Strasburg for summer plant- 

 ing. It will grow solid, with good flavor, when 

 other's fail. Popular with market gardeners.
