Isbell’s Michigan grown Radish bears certain well de¬ 
fined points of superiority over seed from other sections. 
In the first place, it is hardier and has proven by test 
time and time again to be better adapted to a wide variety 
of soils and conditions. That means a surer and earlier 
crop for the gardener. Secondly, the tops run very small, 
desirable when space is valuable. 
Further—Michigan grown seed produces well colored 
roots which make ready market sales. We are constantly 
striving to make our strains even still better as to color 
and shape, sparing no expense for inspection, selection, 
rogueing, etc.
