 turnip sort for hot-bed forcing; very early; and 

 in flavor mild, crisp, juicy and tender, top 

 small, and it will stand the heat well without 

 becoming pithy. One of the best selling rad- 

 ishes on account of its very attractive color 

 and shape. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., ^4 lb. 

 30 cts., lb. $1.00. 



EARLY RED BIRD. The earliest radish. Ready 

 for the market in 18 days. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 

 cts. 



THE TRIUMPH. This is a beautiful and odd 

 radish. The grand color is pure white, striped 

 with bright scarlet, when mixed in the bunch 

 with scarlet radishes makes a pleasing contrast. 

 It is a splendid forcing radish, with short top, 

 small leaves, and matures quickly. The flesh 

 is very crisp and solid and of mild flavor. It 

 can also be grown in the open ground as well. 

 It is a most attractive ornament for the table 

 and market gardeners will find ready sale for 

 it. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., % lb. 35 cts.,

WHITE STRASSBURG, or HOSPITAL. This is 



one of the most valuable summer varieties. 

 Flesh pure white, tender, crisp and of pleasant 

 taste, without being strong. It can be used in 

 six weeks from the time of sowing and con- 

 tinues to grow without losing its superior qual- 

 ity. It will prove a profitable market variety.

 white, very brittle and crisp, of beautiful shape 

 and rapid growth. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 

 % lb. 25 cts., lb. 90 cts. 



WHITE ICICLE. One of the est if not the best 

 early Radishes. It is of medium length, small 

 tops, very crisp and sweet. It should not be 

 confused with the Lady Finger, a large and 

 later white Radish. Some may object to a 

 white Radish but there can be no fault found 

 with the earliness or quality of this one. Per 

 pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., % lb. 35 cts., lb. $1.00. 



CRIMSON GIANT. An early round (turnip) 

 radish that is largely used as a forcing variety 

 but is also among the best ones for the 

 garden. It is a rapid growing variety, produc- 

 ing roots of beautiful deep red and practical- 

 ly double the size of any other forcing var- 

 iety, and remains tender and firm for weeks. 

 It is just a little later on the market than 

 the small and earlier kinds, but is a big money 

 maker. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., X A lb. 35 cts 

 lb. $1.00. 



Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., % lb. 35 cts., lb

EARLIEST WHITE. This handsome new variety 

 is not only the earliest White Radish, but the 

 earliest of any color, are ready for the table in 

 18 or 20 days after sowing the seed. Of hand- 

 some olive shape, both skin and flesh are pure 

 white, of mild flavor, crisp and tender. The tops 

 are small, which renders them suitable for forc- 

 ing and admits of close planting. This prov- 

 ed to be one of the most desflrable varieties 

 in our trials, and can be highly recommend- 

 ed. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., % lb. 35 cts.. 

 lb. $1.25. 



LONG BRIGHTEST SCARLET. This variety, by 

 some called Cardinal Radish, is one of the 

 handsomest Long Radishes grown. In shape it 

 is intermediate between the long and half-long 

 sorts. It is early, being fit for use in 25 days 

 after sowing. In brightness of color it is quite 

 unique, being the brightest fiery scarlet we 

 have seen in any radish ; flesh crisp, brittle, 

 and of a delightful pungent quality. A fine 

 variety to sell well in the markets. Per pkt. 

 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., % lb. 30 cts., lb. $1.00.

 solid as an apple; it has not that strong flavor 

 of the Black Spanish and keeps equally well.
