RADISH 
CULTURE. Radish should be grown on good rich sandy 
loam. Avoid seeding in soil where you have had any 
root crop that became infested with root maggot, if 
possible. As a preventive of maggots it is well to treat 
your soil with a good dressing of tobacco dust, or 
Carbola. By using these preparations at intervals of 
about 10 days, you will be able to overcome the maggot 
nuisance. 
Plant your radish one-half inch deep in rows 12 to 14 
inches apart as soon as the soil is in condition to work 
nicely in the spring. When the plants are about 1 inch 
high, thin 'enough to avoid crowding. Cultivate often 
and shallow to retain moisture and destroy weeds.

Gould’s Famous Early Scarlet Globe Radish 
EARLY ROUND RADISHES 
Gould’s Early Scarlet Globe* 
A selected forcing strain especially adapted to green¬ 
house and hotbed growing, but may be grown outdoors 
also with good results. The shape is a little longer than 
round and the color, which it holds long after pulling, 
is very brilliant and attractive. A standard for the 
market gardener. 
Gould’s Reliable Forcing* 
Is the earliest of the greenhouse forcing type. It is of 
a beautiful bright scarlet, somewhat turnip-shaped, pro¬ 
ducing a very small top, making it very desirable for 
forcing. 
Gould’s Scarlet Turnip White Tip* 
A special strain of white tip radish, the best of its kind 
ever offered. It is very early and does equally well for 
greenhouse forcing and for outdoor culture. The flavor 
cannot be excelled, it being sweet, mild and crisp. The 
color is a bright scarlet with white tips, making a par¬ 
ticularly fine appearance on the table. 
Sparkler 
Another old time favorite with the market gardeners. 
The roots even when fully developed, are solid, crisp 
and sweet. The color is a rich carmine with a pure 
white tip. The tops are small, but large enough for 
bunching. Equally well adapted for forcing in frames 
or growing in the open ground. 
Yellow Ball 
A fine summer variety of quick growth. The root is a 
perfect globe shape with a golden yellow skin, while the 
flesh is pure white, very firm, mild and crisp. A good 
producer even in the hottest kind of weather. 
Gould’s Scarlet Turnip White Tip Radish 
LONG VARIETIES 
Long White Summer or White Strasburg 
A large, medium long sort with heavy tapering shoulders. 
Flesh and skin pure white. Firm and crisp. A fine 
summer variety that resists drought. 
White Icicle 
Matures long and slender radishes of pure white skin 
and flesh. Ready for pulling about three weeks after 
sowing. It is crisp, mild, sweet and tender both when 
young and until it attains a large size. One of the finest 
sorts for the home garden as well as for market. 
French Breakfast 
A great favorite for open ground or forcing. Beautiful 
bright scarlet, with pure white tip. Oblong in shape, 
of medium size, and a rapid grower. It is a fine table 
variety on account of its excellent quality and attractive 
appearance. 
Long Scarlet Short Top 
A standard and popular well known long red radish of 
good quality. Matures to a size of about 6 inches but 
it can be used before fully grown. 
WINTER RADISHES 
The merits of winter radishes are not fully appreciated, 
probably because many do not have knowledge of their 
worth. Try some this year. These grow to large size 
and keep well for winter and spring use. Sow seed from 
middle of June to July 1st, for fall and winter use. 
China Rose 
Of a bright rose color, flesh solid and crisp. The shape 
is long, but stump rooted, tapering abruptly to a small 
tip. One of the best winter varieties. 
California Mammoth White 
A very good fall and winter variety. The skin and flesh 
are white, very tender and crisp, decidedly pungent but 
well flavored. Roots are about 8 inches long. Keep well 
through the winter. 
Long Black Spanish 
One of the largest, latest, as well as the hardiest of all 
radishes. The shape is oblong tapering to a point, the 
skin almost black, flesh white and very firm. 
Round Black Spanish* 
A large round turnip shaped root, growing to as much 
as 3 to 4 inches in diameter. The skin is black, but the 
flesh is white and an excellent keeper. 
Seeds are postpaid only in the 5c and 10c packets. In 
larger amounts please add postage at rates given on
