PUMPKINS 
Usually they are planted in the corn field, dropping three or four seeds 
every fourth hill, but they do better planted by themselves. Plant about 
8 or 10 feet apart each way. Put some well-rotted manure beneath 
each hill, thoroughly mixing it with the soil. 
LARGE SWEET CHEESE, or KENTUCKY FIELD—A popular and very 
productive variety. The ripe fruits are flat, of a rich, creamy yellow 
color, and measure about 2 feet in diameter. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 3 /4 lb.,

enormous size it is one of the best pie pumpkins, having very thick, sweet

size it is advisable to leave only one plant to a hill, leaving only one 
fruit to a plant, and give pumpkin plenty of room. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15;

Our stock of radish seed is grown for us in Michigan. Great care is used in selecting this seed, and the quality 
is of the best. A trial will convince. They develop best and quickest in light rich sandy soil. Well rotted manure 
should be used and constant cultivation is necessary to insure radishes of good quality. One ounce will sow 75 feet 
of drill, 8 to 10 lbs. per acre. Plant radishes and carrots in the same row to conserve garden space. 
EARLY SCARLET GLOBE—This is a splendid variety for hot-bed or 
greenhouse culture. We consider it the best of the round scarlet forc¬ 
ing sorts. The radishes mature quickly, producing small growth of tops, 
and are solid and crisp; very uniform in shape. The color is a hand¬ 
some bright scarlet. Pkt., 5c; oz„ 10c; lb., 25c; lb., 65c; 5 lbs., $3.00 
postpaid. 
CRIMSON GIANT—An entirely new variety and differs radically from 
all others, inasmuch as the roots attain more than double the size of the 
other forcing varieties without getting pithy or hollow. It is very early, 
notwithstanding its size. Color, crimson; meat, pure white and of the 
best quality. The seed should be sown very thinly to permit the devel¬ 
opment of the roots. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 25c; lb. 75c, postpaid.

ness even when the roots are old and large. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb, 
25c; lb. 80c, postpaid.

color, with white tip. Its fine appearance attracts customers and its 
quality always pleases. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; *4 lb. 25c; lb. 70c, postpaid.

WINTER VARIETIES 
The merits of Winter Radishes are little appreciated, probably because 
they are seldom grown, and fe-w people have knowledge of their worth. 
These grow to large size and keep well for autumn and winter use. 
Sow the seed from the middle of July until the middle of September. 
Include some of these with your order.

tured 9 to 12 inches long by 2 to 4 inches in diameter just below the
