RADISH 
Sow seed as early in the spring as possible in a highly en> 
riched light, sandy soil. The quicker they are grown the 
more tender and mild in flavor. 
Alneer’s New Fourteen-Day—fore- 
extremely quick growth, maturing in about two weeks under 
favorable conditions; the leaves are very short, which renders 
them particularly adapted for forcing under glass; they are of 
superior flavor, being crisp and tender, and in color they are 
a fresh, deep carmine red, very attractive. Pkt. Sc, oz. 10c, Vi 
lb. 30c, Vs lb. SOc, lb. 90c, 5 lbs. $4.10, postpaid. 
Saxa ® European variety which has become very 
popular in the United States. It is one of the very 
earliest radishes and quite slow to run to seed. The tops 
are very small, the radishes are round and bright scarlet. 
We recommend it for first planting in the garden, and also 
for forcing in hotbed and greenhouse. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, Vi lb. 
25c, Vi lb. 40c, lb. 70c, 5 lbs. $3.10, postpaid. 
fThis type of Radish, having red 
been a great favorite, and with this variety the white por¬ 
tion extends much farther up than is the case with ordinary 
Scarlet Turnip White Tip Radish. The upper portion is a 
rich, brilliant red, showing in great contrast to the lower 
portion, which is a pure white, and adding greatly to its at¬ 
tractive appearance. The general contour is turnip-shape, 
and size medium, very uniform, with flesh crisp, tender and 
sparkling. The rapidity of its growth recommends “New 
Sparkler” for growing in the greenhouse, but it is equally 
as valuable for sowing in the vegetable garden. Pkt. 5c, oz. 
10c, V 4 lb. 25c, V 2 lb. 40c, lb. 70c, 5 lbs. $3.10, postpaid.

j:.ariy ocariei Vaiooe handsomest, in flavor it is

Crimson Giant entirely new 
type .and differs radically 
from all varieties 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. It is very early notwithstanding 
its size. Color crimson, flesh pure white. Fine 
for outdoors and forcing. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, Vi lb.

Gentlemen: Your Fourteen-Day Radish beats 
anything I ever saw. They are ready for use in 
fourteen days. I recommend all to send to Alneer’s 
for high grade full of life seeds.
