HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 

 ^=STKAINS OF: 



RADISHES 



THE BEST VARIETIES FOR 

 MAKKET GARDENERS. 



EARLY ROUND DARK RED. The finest type of the Early 

 Scarlet turnip-shaped class, producing handsome, ball-shaped 

 Radishes of medium size, ready for use in about 20 days from 

 sowing; surface smooth and of rich, dark red; flesh white as 

 snow, crisp and of mild flavor. It remains fit to use for a 

 considerable time. (See cut.) Price, 10c. oz., 20c. i lb., 60c. lb. 

 (26 lbs. and over at 46c. lb.). 



" Your Early Round Red Radish is the best of the Turnip Radishes we have 

 ever grown. Thty were several days ahead of the cracked-up Philadelphia Rad- 

 ahet besides, yours were sound and free from pithiness." 



ABRAM HOUSER, Rahway. N. J. 



EARLY SCARLET GLOBE. This is the most popular forcing 

 Radish on the market to-day. It is grown very largely in the 

 Eastern States to supply the enormous demand in New York, 

 Boston and other eastern markets, where its brilliant color and 

 attractive shape have secured for it a prominent place. It 

 matures in 21 days, and has a very small top. No variety looks 

 better in the bunch, none holds the color longer, or remains 

 firmer after pulling. Our stock is not equalled by any to-day, 

 and is selected specially for the most critical trade, some growers 

 buying as much as 500 lbs. annually for forcing purposes. 

 Price, 10c. oz., 20c. i lb., 60c. lb. (26 lbs. and over at 45c. lb.). 



! "Your Scarlet Globe Radish matures 10 days ahead of Cardinal Globe, the 

 supposedly crack variety of Philadelphia." 



WM. H. ASH. South Vineland. N. J. 



, RED FORCING. This is one of the best of the small, round 

 red forcing varieties. It is very finely bred throughout, the 

 sops are very small, the flesh is white, exceedingly tender, crisp 

 and of mild flavor. The outer color, a very vivid red, is very 

 attractive and presents a fine appearance when bunched. It can 

 be easily marketed in 21 days from sowing. Price, 10c. oz., 

 26c. i lb., 70c. lb. 



EARLY CRIMSON GIANT. A new Early Turnip Radish 

 larger in size than any of the early turnip-shaped type. This 

 variety develops to 6 and often 7 inches in circumference, 

 weighing up to one ounce; but notwithstanding its size, it 

 does not get hollow or pithy, the flesh remaining sparklingly 

 white, solid, crisp and juicy, and of the mildest flavor. The 

 shape of the root varies between round and almost oval, but 

 the bright, deep crimson color of the skin remains quite con- 

 stant. Excellent both for forcing and open-ground culture. 

 Price, 10c. oz., 25c. \ lb., 70c. lb. 



WHITE-TIPPED EARLY SCARLET TURNIP. A superior 

 strain of this variety, so popular both for outdoor culture and 

 growing in frames; of medium size; shape very uniform and 

 round; color, bright scarlet, with a distinct white tip, contrast- 

 ing vividly and making it very attractive; mild, crisp, white 

 flesh; matures in 25 days. (See cut.) Price, 10c. oz., 20c. i lb., 

 50c. lb. (26 lbs. and over at 46c. lb.). 



RAPID FORCING. A fine variety. It resembles the White 

 Tipped Scarlet Turnip, but is a little smaller, though earlier, 

 coming to maturity in 22 days from time of sowing, and having 

 very small tops, will prove to be the radish for forcing purposes. 

 Price, 10c. oz., 25c. i lb., 70c. lb. 



" / want to say the Radish Seed I brought from you in December proved to b*> 

 the purest and best forcing Radish I ever had. PUase send me 10 lbs. more of 

 the same." L. H. REAMS, Council Bluffs, Iowa. 



FRENCH BREAKFAST. A select strain of this ever-popular 

 Radish, being of unusually quick growth, about 2 inches long 

 and 1 inch in diameter, or nearly oval; of uniform and perfect 

 mould ; surface smooth and of bright scarlet with white base and 

 tip; flesh white and unusually tender and mild. A favorite for 

 either open ground or forcing. Price, 10c. oz., 20c. J lb., 60c. lb.
