qUlC Ridishes are 8ubiect 8 to root maggots which make them useless for culinary purposes We know of no certain remedy 
for tlds pest We have found that the best preventive measures are to avoid the use of rank manure and not to sow on 
ground where radishes, turnips or cabbages were grown the year previous. 
We have been very careful to secure the very best seed possible and there 
is none sold under other names which is better than that of the varieties we 
offer. What is often called “scarlet” in radishes is more or less of a rosy car¬ 
mine color. Our “deep scarlet” is of a much deeper red.
