HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 

 STKA1NS OF: 



RADISHES 



THE BEST VARIETIES FOR 

 FALL SOWING &- FORCING 



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. | lb., 60c. lb. (25 lbs. and over at 55c. 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. 



EARLY SCARLET TURNIP. An old variety, well liked by 

 market gardeners as an out-door sort. It has a bright solid 

 color and makes a handsome bunch — very desirable. Price, 

 10c. oz., 15c. \ lb., 50c. 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 

 found; color, bright scarlet, with a distinct and ample white tip, 

 contrasting vividly and making it very attractive; mild, crisp, 

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

 1 lb., 55c. lb. (25 lbs. and over at 50c. lb.) 



LONG SCARLET SHORT TOP. This variety is largely 

 grown, as its shape (when tied up in bunches) is the best to 

 ship. Price, 10c. oz., 15c. \ lb., 50c. 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. \ lb., 80c. lb.

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

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