RADISH 
NEW WHITE 
ICICLE 
THE FINEST FLAVORED QUICK GROWING RADISH NOW IN CULTIVATION 
Since listing this valuable German Radish and trials made, we can recommend it as the best 
long early white Radish. It received unanimous praise from our critical market-garden trade 
throughout the country, and we have no hesitancy in saying it is the finest long white forcing 
Radish known. The name is derived from the almost transparent whiteness of the root, 
which has no comparison among all existing Radishes. Leaves are short ; taste is exceedingly fine. If 
well cultivated, Icicle produces its 3J-to 4-4nch long, cylindrical roots within 22 
days from date of sowing. We find that for successive plantings Icicle succeeds as well in 
mid-summer as when sown early ; even in an advanced state it retains its fine flavor, never becom- 
ing woody. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., £lb. 25 cts., lb. 85 cts., by mail, postpaid. 
WHITE CHINESE, OR CELESTIAL RADISH

Never has a Winter Radish won so 
much favor, and indeed it is worthy of 
all the praise given it. Mr. Austin G. 
Rupp, Shiremanstown, Pa., (whose photo- 
graph we print herewith) has been grow- 
ing this variety for some years, and gets 
very high prices in market for the 
Radishes. So valuable did he consider 
it that for years he thought it policy 
not to tell his neighbors the name of 
the Radish. The true stock of this 
icicle radishes. (From a photograph.) 
variety is stump-rooted, as will be seen in the photograph, and although a Winter Radish, it can 
also be grown in late summer, as were those photographed and shown in our illustration. The 
flesh is firm, solid and pure white. It keeps all winter in prime condition, and is of mild flavor. 
Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., £lb. 25 cts., lb., 85. 
ASK MIKADO 
This new summer Radish differs from all other sorts at first sight by its pinnatifid foliage, 
and produces long, smooth, pure white roots with a delicious, mild flavor. The skin and flesh are 
pure white, and in quality is both brittle and sweet. It is a quick grower, a heavy cropper and 
an excellent keeper. The long white roots, measuring from 12 to 18 inches in length, are shown 
in the illustration. 
We are sure this fine new Radish will be much appreciated by many of our customers 
who have grown the White Chinese Radish, which met with such universal favor throughout the 
country in the past. It can be sown at any time during the season. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., 
Jib. 35 cts., lb. $1.00 postpaid.

FOR FORCING or OPEN-GROUND CULTURE. A VARIETY for MARKET-GARDENERS 
A new Early Turnip Radish, double the size of any of the early turnip-shaped type. This 
variety develops to 6 and often 7 inches in circumference, weighing up to an ounce per bulb, or 
about four times the weight of similar sorts ; but notwithstanding its immense size, does not get 
hollow or pithy, the flesh remaining sparklingly white, solid, crisp and juicy, and of the mildest 
flavor. The shape of the bulb varies between round and almost oval, but the bright, deep crimson 
color of the skin remains quite constant. Excellent both for forcing and open-ground culture. 
Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., |lb. 35 cts., lb. $1.25.
