Rapid Forcing 
The Earliest of All Radishes; Bright Scarlet Color; Un¬ 
usually Crisp and Brittle; Short Leaves 
Quick growth is one of the main essentials for a 
crisp and tender Radish. Rapid Forcing matures in 
about 14 days from sowing. This in itself makes it 
of especial value for the market garden. This Radish 
is of a fine turnip shape. It remains in good condition 
without getting hollow or pithy longer than any other 
early variety. The flesh is pure white and very crisp. 
Color attractive bright scarlet. The leaves are very 
short, which admits of close sowing. Its extreme 
earliness—maturing before all other kinds—its beauti¬ 
ful bright scarlet color, and its unusually brittle and 
delicious quality, make it most desirable for kitchen 
garden, and a source of great profit for the market 
gardener. Remember that we control the entire stock 
of this variety. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; 2 oz. 25c; y 4 lb.
