RADISH—Continued 
Tel. 
Cipher 
Non Plus Ultra, or Fireball (Scarlet Button).Radiator 
Round rather than turnip-shaped, of medium size with a small top; 
bright scarlet; very early, and one of the best forcing varieties, fol¬ 
lowing Saxa in three to four days. 
Philadelphia White Box (White Ball).Radically 
One of the best of the white varieties either for forcing or out-door 
culture; more round than turnip-shaped; intermediate in size; always 
crisp, fine-grained and tender. 
Rice’s Saxa. Radius 
The earliest of the forcing radishes, and one of the slowest to shoot 
to seed. Round, bright scarlet and with the smallest possible top. 
We have an excellent stock of this radish. 
Small White Turnip. Ragged 
A desirable, small, quick g-owing, waxy-white, turnip-shaped variety 
with small top; a week earlier than White Box. 
Sparkler White Tip. Raging 
Quite similar to Scarlet Turnip White Tipped as to size and time of 
maturity. The root, however, is more round or ball shaped, and the 
white extends farther up on the radish, and on this account is more 
popular in many markets.

long scarlet radishes; crisp and tender until full grown; roots not 
quite so long as Long Scarlet, and of a bright, vivid scarlet color, 
tipped white; a good forcing sort with a small top.
