H^DI§|]5ES Rettig, ODER Raieschex, Gev. 



One ounce of seed will plant 100 feet of drill; 8 to 10 pounds for an acre. 

 CUi;fTURB. — All varieties thrive best in light sandy loam. For early use sow in the hot-bed in February, 

 giving plenty of ventilation, or outside in the garden, in drills, as soon as the soil is warm and dry, covering 

 the seed about half an inch deep. Sow every two weelis, from March until September, for a snccession of 

 crisp radishes for continued use. Radishes must grow rapidly to be crisp, mild-flavored and tender. I offer 

 a fine assortment. 



NUMBER TWO SCARLET GLOBE 

 SHAPED. — The roots of this variety are 

 slightly olive shaped, a rich, bright scarlet in 

 color; flesh white and tender, fit to pull as 

 early as any radish that grows. I especiall}" 

 recommend this to gardeners whose markets 

 demand a large, first early forcing radish. Pkt., 

 5c.; oz., loc; 2 ozs., 15c.; ^ lb., 20c.; lb., 50c. 



WHITE-TIPPED SCARLET TURNIP 

 RADISH. — A beautiful Radish, coming in very 

 early; tops very small, permitting of close 

 planting; quality excellent. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; 

 ^ lb., 15c.; lb., 40c. 



VICKS SCARLET GLOBE.— One of the 



earliest Radishes grown, and one of the best 

 for forcing. Makes a very small top, of bright 

 red color, and is very attractive, both in color 

 and shape, making it a good seller. Mild, 

 crisp, juicy and tender. Packet, 5c.; oz., loc; 

 ^4 lb.. 20c.; lb., 65c.; in Vicks Sealed packages. 



CRIMSON GIANT— A most valuable Rad- 

 ish, of European mtrod'uction, which is creat- 

 ing quite a furor wherever grown, and is des- 

 tined to take the lead in turnip Radishes. It 

 grows quickly, and even when it attains a large 

 size it remains absolutely tender and of per- 

 fect flavor to the very last. It surprises and 

 delights all who have grown it. I am quite 

 sure that this will prove to be a money-maker 

 with both truckers and market-gardeners, as it 

 will prove to be a most desirable and salable 

 variety. It is of a beautiful deep crimson 

 color, and in crispness and flavor it is unsur- 

 passed. Pkts., 5 and lOc; oz., 15c.; ^ lb., 20c.; 

 lb., 75c.

 above ground, straight, smooth, rich scarlet 

 color; very crisp and a quick grower. Packet,

GOLDEN GLOBE SUMMER.— Grows to a 

 large size, and, as it stands heat well, may be 

 sown quite late. Crisp and tender. Packet, 5c.; 

 oz., lOc; Ya lb., 15c.; lb., 40c. 



WHITE STRASBURG SUMMER.— This is 

 proving one of the best and most popular sum- 

 mer Radishes grown. Both the skin and flesh 

 are pure white and almost transparent, and of 

 delightful pungent taste. It can be pulled five 

 weeks from time of sowing, or it w-ill coiitinue 

 to grow without losing its flavor, and will re- 

 main tender longer than any other sort. Pkt., 

 5c.; oz., lOc; ^ lb., 15c.; lb., 40c.
