Culture. Radishes thrive best in light, rich, 
meliow soil, and to bring out their mild quali- 
ties they must make quick and 
tender growth. Sow for very 
early use in hotbeds during the 
winter and early spring, or 
later on. in sheltered borders, 
in well - manured, deeply - dug 
and finely-raked soil. If not 
well stimulated into a rapid 
growth, they become fibrous 
and tough. Sow in drills 10 
ins. apart and thin to 2 ins. in 
the rows. Sow at intervals of 
2 or 3 weeks until September 
for a succession. Sow winter 
varieties in July and August. 
Like the turnips, they make 
the best growth in autumn, 
and must be taken out before 
severe frost and stored away 
in a cool cellar in sand or in a 
pit where they will keep tender 
and crisp all winter. Before 
g, put in cold water, which 
to their freshness. 
SCABIiET aiiOBE. 
The very best in every way. 
Tt is handsome in form and color, beautiful oval and rich scarlet. The amount of its 
foliage "s small.^ c with other varieties, and small for the size of the ra.hsh 
The peculiar merit of this variety as a forcing radish is that it will bear the heat 
reauisite for forcing without becoming pithy or spongy. Ihe flesh is tender, 3 uicy and 
mild! It is equally as good for open garden as for forcing, and therefore it commends 
itself equally to the amateur and market gardener. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts. , oz. lo cts. 
SCARIiET TURNIP WHITE-TIP. Nature almost exhausted itself in making this beautiful 
radish to ornament the private table and embellish the market stall. It 
to our market in two weeks after planting, and always is a very early crop for frames 
and for open ground culture. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts. 
CINCINNATI mARKET. This fine Strain of the Long Scarlet Short-Top Radish has been 
selected for thirty years. The tops are so small that the radishes may stand touching 
each other in the rows. They grow perfectly straight and smooth and from 6^7 inches 
in length; and the flesh crisp and brittle and of delightfully pungent flavor. Pkt. 5 and 
10 cts.; oz. 15 cts. 
GOEDEN GEOBE SUM3MIER. Of globular form and bright yellow color. A splendid addition 
to the radish family. Should be found in every garden. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts. 
NEW WHITE STRASBURG. This variety is now the most popular summer radish grown. 
Of handsome, oblong shape, tapering beautifully to a point. Both skin and flesh are pure 
white, almost transparent, very tender and of a delightful, pungent taste. It can be 
pulled live weeks from time of sowing the seed. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts. 
CRIMSON GIANT. This new radish is an entirely new type and differs from all the varie- 
ties hitherto in cultivation, in so far as its roots attain more than double the size of 
those of other forcing varieties, without getting pithy or hollow. This giant radish 
develops roots of 6 to 7 inches in circumference and over an ounce in weight, their pure 
white flesh remaining firm and crisp and of the mildest flavor, but notwithstanding the 
extraordinary size and weight of its bulbs, it is second to none as a forcing variety. It is 
equally well adapted to outside culture. The seed should be sown very thinly to permit 
full development of the roots. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.
