Vick’s Early Scarlet Globe Radish. 
For hot-bed forcing there is no variety so desirable 
as the “Early Scarlet Globe.” it is the earliest ; its 
color is the handsomest ; in flavor it is the mildest, 
most crisp, juicy and tender. It is the market- 
gardener’s favorite as a forcing Radish. It forms 
small top and will stand a great amount of heat 
without becoming pitchy. It is also an excellent 
variety for garden culture. Brought out by us in 
1884, it has already become widely known and de- 
servedly popular. Prices, per lb. S1.50, per oz. 15 
cts., per pkt. 10 cts. 
Shepard Radish. 
With us this appears identical with “Beckert’s Chartier,” in 
fact we consider them one and the same thing, differing only 
in the locality where they have been grown, the “Charter” in 
Pennsylvania, and “Shepard” in Indiana. Both are excellent 
and worthy of all confidence ; we have seed of each, saved 
separate, and can supply it at the following prices : Per pkt. 
5 cts., per oz. 15 cts., per 1-4 lb. 50 cts. 
[Philadelphia White “Box” Radish. 
This variety, offered for the first time last season, is much 
superior and entirely new and distinct from any early white 
turnip radish heretofore offered by the trade. Its points of 
superiorirty are r emarkably sho rt top, rapid growth, perfect 
urnip shape, extra fine quality and show- 
ing no disposition whatever to become pithy 
with age, but on the contrary remains solid 
and juicy long after fully grown. Its short 
top and rapid growth especially fit it fo 
growing under grass, in frames or “boxes” 
hence its name, as well as early sowing of 
squares or borders in the open ground. 
Owing to its very short leaves, it can be 
sown very thickly in the row without caus- 
ing the leaves to “draw.” In fact it is fit to 
before the leaves are large enough to tie. 
Fully one-half more radishes can be grown 
in the same space of this sort than any 
other, which makes it extremely valuable 
* Becker’s Charter Radish. 
The increasing popularity of this new Radish is certainly 
a strong testimonial in its favor. The reports of all who have 
tested agree as to excellence. It is described as follows : A 
new variety of the Long Short Top class, offered first in 1885. 
It is exceedingly attractive, being of a deep crimson color at 
the top, and blending off to almost white at the root; remark- 
ably tender and crisp, retaining these qualities long after ma- 
turity. It is certainly a very valuable addition to the Radish 
family, and comes from a reliable source. Price, 5 cts. per 
pkt., per oz. 15 cts., per 1-4 lb. 25 cts., per lb. $1.
