SCARLET TURNIP, WHITE TIPPED. These 
radishes taste as good as they look, and they are 
undoubtedly one of the most popular of the early 
turnip-shaped varieties for home gardens. The 
upper part of the root is rich crimson-red, and 
the lower part is snow white, making an attrac¬ 
tive combination. The roots grow to 1 % inches 
in diameter without becoming pithy. Pkt., 5c;

well defined tap-root; about iy 2 inches long and 
% inch through; rich scarlet with white bottom; 
flesh white, crisp, and of splendid quality. Pkt.,

CRIMSON GIANT. The home gardener who de¬ 
sires a radish of more than two bites will find this 
to his liking. The crimson roots are the largest of 
the early round radishes. They do not become fully 
grown until nearly 2 inches in diameter, but are 
very good while much smaller. The flesh is as 
crisp and mild as any of the smaller varieties, and 
they remain in perfect condition for several days.

Radishes 
Radishes give interest to the diet and stimulate 
the dullest appetites. Radishes are healthy, they 
contain some vitamin B, mineral salts, calcium, 
sodium, iron and phosphorus. They can be en¬ 
joyed from early Spring until late Fall by sowing 
succession crops, first the Spring varieties, then 
the Summer and Winter sorts. One ounce to 100 
feet of drill, 10 lbs. per acre. To grow good Rad¬ 
ishes they must be grown quickly with no check 
in any stage of the growth. All varieties thrive 
best in light, sandy loam. For early use, Radishes 
can be grown in the hotbed with plenty of ventila¬ 
tion. In the open garden choose a light, rich soil 
and water them frequently. Sow the Spring varie¬ 
ties every two weeks until hot weather.

HAWKEYE SCARLET GLOBE. The bright 
carmine-red color, perfect oval shape, thread¬ 
like tap-root, and ideal size combine to make 
this the most desirable of early table radishes.

flesh is crisp and mild. They will reach this size 
in 25 to 30 days and are at their best when not 
quite full grown. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; *4 lb., 35c;

which has become very popular in the United
