 Eadish in shape, size and quality, but is a golden yellow color. 

 Veiy distinct and desirable. {See cut.) 10 cts. pkt., 20 ets. oz.,

 60 cts. Xi lb., S2. 00 lb. {See cut.) 



RED FORCING-. The tops are exceedingly small and short, render- 

 ing it most useful for forcing. The tops are smaller than those of 

 any other radish ; in all other respects, however, it is identical 

 with our Early Eound Dark Red. 10 ets. pkt., 20 cts. oz., 40 cts.

EARLY SCARLET GLOBE. A new variety of distinct shape and 

 brilliant color, short leaved ; flesh very crisp and white ; an excel- 

 lent variety for forcing. 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 40c. >^ lb., SI. 00 lb. 



EARLY ROUND DARK RED. This is, without doubt, the best 

 variety in cultivation for general use, having all the qualities 

 necessary to recommend it. It is medium in size, rich dark red in 

 color, the root is clean and smooth, and the top is small. There 

 is no radish in cultivation that remains fit for use for so long a 

 time. Our trials have always proved it to be the last early variety 

 to get pithy. 10 cts. pkt., 15 cts. oz., 30 cts. J^ lb., 65 cts. lb. 



■WHITE TIPPED SCARLET TURNIP. No radish looks better on 

 the table than this. It is bright scarlet in color, gradually fading 

 off to pure white at the base, and is t-ender, mild in flavor and early. 

 {See cut.) 5 cts. p kt., 15 cts. oz., 30 cts. 1^ lb., 65 cts. lb. 



EARLY SCARLET TURNIP. For first and successive sowing in 



the open ground, we can strongly recommend this old favorite. 



The root is of medium size, bright scarlet in color, and in quality 



is certainly unsui-passed, being always mild and pleasant irt 



flavor. (See cut.) 5o. pkt., lOo. oz., 25c. 34 lb., 65c. lb. 



Carly Olive-shaped Radishes. 



RED ROCKET. A small, bright scarlet, olive-shaped variety. Eadishes 

 are best when grown quickly ; this variety matures outdoors in 22 days 

 from time of sowing, and is always mild and delicious in flavor. Having 

 small tops, it can be grown very closely and is invaluable for forcing. 

 10 cts. pkt., 20 cts. oz., 40 cts. 3^ lb., Sl.OO lb. 



FRENCH BREAKFAST. A variety of quick growth, mild and tender, and 

 one of the best for forcing. Oval form, scarlet tipped with white. 5 cts.
