RADISH 



NEW WHITE 

 ICICLE 



THE Finest flav5red quick growing radish now in cultivation 



Since listing this valuable German Eadish 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 

 t^adish known. The name is derived from the almost transparent wiiiteness of the root^ 

 which has no comparison among all existing Radishes, leaves are short ; taste is exceedingly fine. If 

 well cultivated, Icicle produces its 3i-to 4-inch 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 sowti early ; even in an advanced state it retains its fine flavor, never becom- 

 ing woody. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. IS cts», Jib. 25 cts., lb. 85 cts., by mall, postpaid.

WHITE 

 CHINESE or 

 CELESTIAL 



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 

 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., ilb. 25 cts., lb., 85.

This new summer Radish diifers 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 sui"e 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., 

 ilb. 35 cts., lb. $1.00 postpaid. 



CRIMSON GIANT FORCING radish 



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., Jib. 35 cts., lb. $1.25,
