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.

351—BUCHANAN’S SCARLET GLOBE (24 days)—One of the earliest and best for forcing;

planting. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; 2 ozs., 15c; % lb., 20c; 1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.25 
338—EARLY SCARLET TURNIP (26 days) — 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 and lVs inches in diameter before becoming pithy. This is a splendid variety for 
early outdoor planting for the home garden and market.

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.

344—BUCHANAN’S NEW PERFECTION (25 days) (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, tender, 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; 2 ozs., 15c; 34 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $1.95

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 grow¬ 
ing under glass.
