RB. BUCHANAN SEED CQ 
MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE. 
Buchanan’s Radish Seeds 
CULTURE—Sow in open ground, in spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. Sow in rich, sandy loam, 
in drills 18 inches apart; thin plants to prevent crowding. Keep the soil loose and apply a little nitrate of 
soda. Successive plantings should be made every 10 days or 2 weeks to keep up a continuous supply of 
crisp and tender radishes. ' For early use plant the round or button radishes and olive shaped. For later 
use plant the long and half-long varieties. Sow one ounce of seed to 100 feet of row. 
FOR FIELD PLANTING—Plant in rows 15 inches apart, plants 3 inches apart, 8 to 10 lbs. to acre; matures 
in 24 to 40 days. The white tipped is best for all markets.

Round and Turnip-Shaped Varieties 
340—BUCHANAN’S EPICURE RADISH (White Tipped)—One of the best early radishes for 
the home garden and a great favorite in large markets for early planting outdoors. The 
color is very bright, deep rose-carmine scarlet with a distinctly white tip. The flesh is 
white and of the best quality. The scarlet is unusually deep and affords a distinct contrast 
with the large, clear white tip. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; % lb., 25c; 1 lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.25 
339—EARLY SCARLET TURNIP (White Tipped)—One of the best early radishes for the 
home garden and a great favorite in large markets for early planting outdoors. The roots 
are nearly round, slightly flattened on the underside. The color is very bright, deep rose- 
carmine scarlet with a distinctly white tip. The flesh is white and of the best quality. The 
stock we offer is exceptionally attractive in its splendid coloring. The scarlet is unusually 
deep and affords a distinct contrast with the large, clear white tip. 
Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; % lb., 20c; 1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.25 
351—BUCHANAN’S SCARLET GLOBE—One of the earliest and best for forcing; color a 
very handsome shade of scarlet; mild flavor, crisp and juicy, stands a great amount of heat 
without becoming pithy. This variety does equally well for forcing and outdoor planting. 
Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; lb., 20c; 1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.25 
338—EARLY SCARLET TURNIP—A round, red turnip-shaped radish with small tops and 
of very quick growth, deserving general cultivation on account of its rich, scarlet-red color, 
almost crimson, and its white, crisp, and tender flesh. The roots often grow 1 inch long 
by 1 % inches in diameter before becoming pithy. This is a splendid variety for early out¬ 
door planting for the home garden and market. 
Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; *4 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.25 
347 —CRIMSON GIANT—Suitable both for forcing or early planting out of doors. A remark¬ 
able feature is that it will grow double the size of other round red forcing radishes and 
still remain solid, not showing the least sign of becoming hollow. In shape it is round to 
oval and very attractive. The flesh is mild and tender. 
Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; % lb., 20c; 1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.25 
354—GOLDEN GLOBE—This variety is of quick growth, affording crisp and tender radishes 
even in a very hot climate and is extensively grown in the South. The roots are uniformly 
globe-shaped, with skin of golden yellow color. They are about 2 inches long by 2% inches 
in diameter when mature. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; *4 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.25 
344 —BUCHANAN’S NEW PERFECTION (White Tipped)—This type of radish, having red 
skin with a white tip, has long been a great favorite, and with this variety the white portion 
extends much farther up than is the case with ordinary Scarlet Turnip White Tip Radish. 
The general contour is turnip-shape, and size medium, very uniform, with flesh crisp, ten¬ 
der, and sparkling. The rapidity of its growth recommends “New Perfection” for growing 
in the greenhouse, but it is equally as valuable for sowing in the vegetable garden. 
Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; *4 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.25 
Perfection 
350—FRENCH BREAKFAST—A quick-growing, small, olive-shaped radish 
about 1 % inches long by % to % of an inch in diameter when fully 
grown. The color is beautiful deep rose-scarlet except a little clear white 
about the tip. This is an excellent variety for planting outdoors for the 
home garden. Its small tops and earliness make it also desirable for 
growing under glass. 
Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; >4 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.25 
353—MIXED RADISHES—Buchanan’s Mixed Radishes contain some of 
each variety catalogued by us, except the winter varieties. It contains 
early, medium and late varieties, the round, half-long, and long. For 
home garden use we sell thousands of packages of this justly celebrated 
mixture every year, giving, as it does, a succession of crisp, tender rad¬ 
ishes throughout the season from one sowing. 
Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; 34 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.25
