If your garden includes some of each of the three different classes of Rad¬ 
ishes—Spring, Summer, and Winter Radishes—it will easily keep you sup¬ 
plied with this refreshing vegetable practically all year around. Sow seed 
(except summer and winter varieties) as early as the ground can be worked, 
and make succession plantings every 10 days. Where the summers are hot, 
sow until the middle of May, then stop, but make three more sowings during 
August. Sow the seed thinly in shallow drills and cover with about one- 
quarter inch of fine soil. The quality of Radishes depends considerably upon 
thorough soil preparation, good fertility, and ample moisture. One ounce is sufficient for 
100 feet of drill; 8 to 10 pounds of seed are needed to sow one acre planted in drills. 
Comet 
890 Comet {New) © 
There is an increasing demand for an early Radish that has 
the same qualities as Vick's Scarlet Globe, but with a more 
round instead of an olive-shaped root. We believe Comet 
not only fills the bill, but will prove superior to any other 
Radish. For eating and keeping qualities it is surpassed by 
none, and it will remain crisp and solid for a long time. 
Matures in 22 to 25 days. The roots are globe to olive¬ 
shaped, bright scarlet in color, and have a small taproot. 
Pkt. 10)oz. 20si; 4 ozs. 60gf; l / 2 lb. 85jzf; lb. $1.50; 
2 lbs. $2.75; 5 lbs. $6.60.

combines large size with 
tender crispness and mild

enormous size of

ter, are as crisp as 
ice if grown 
quickly. The skin 
is bright scarlet- 
red. The flesh is 
pure white and 
has a mild, delici¬ 
ous flavor. It 
grows to perfec¬ 
tion in rich, loose, 
well-prepared soil.

893 Sparkler 
A choice early variety that is an excellent strain of the old 
Scarlet Turnip White Tip. Small round roots, 1J4 in. in 
diameter, with bright scarlet top, a clear white base, and 
small, slender taproot. The juicy flesh is pure white and 
of an agreeable snappy flavor. Matures in 25 days. Our 
stock of this popular variety is perfectly uniform and re¬ 
markably fine. While the white-tipped Scarlet Turnip 
Radish has long been a favorite, the Sparkler strain is un¬ 
usually desirable. Our ever-increasing sales of Sparkler 
are proof of its popularity. Pkt. 100; oz. 150; 4 ozs. 300; 
y 2 lb. 450; lb. 750; 2 lbs. $1.35; 5 lbs. $3.20. 
Here is a variety everyone should plant. Small, round, 
bright red Radishes which are attractive and of the finest 
quality. They usually require 20 to 25 days from sowing 
to be ready for the table. Perfectly round, % in. in diameter, 
with thin, bright red skin. The flesh is pure white, crisp, 
and delightfully snappy. Tops are short and attractive, 
making it desirable for growing under glass. The quicker 
they are grown, the crisper their flesh and the more delecta¬ 
ble their flavor. We especially recommend Burpee’s Rapid 
Red to our Market Garden friends for its all-around good 
qualities. Pkt. 100; oz. 150; 4 ozs. 300; x / 2 lb. 500;
