RADISH 
Ready for Use from 18 to 25 Days 
Scarlet Tunnip, White Tipped, or Rosy Gem 
CULTURE—Plant radishes 
on a light soil if a choice is pos¬ 
sible, and every second week 
for a succession from the time 
the soil can be worked in the 
spring till the first light frost. 
Plant in two to eighteen-inch 
rows, cover the seeds one-half 
inch deep and permit four to 
ten radishes to grow to the 
foot; use eight to twelve 
pounds of seed to the acre. 
Radish seed, which germinates 
quickly, may be sown with 
some slow germinating seed 
that the cultivation of that crop 
may begin earlier or the 
quicker-growing radish may be 
grown between the rows of 
some slow-growing crop that 
later requires considerable 
space. 
ROSY GEM —One of the very best for 
market gardeners; very early, tender, beauti¬ 
ful scarlet, shading off into a white tip. 
EARLY SCARLET TURNIP, WHITE 
TIPPED —Very early, for frames or out 
doors. This is one of the best for market 
gardeners. 
CRIMSON GIANT TURNIP, FORCING— 
A variety extraordinary in that while grow¬ 
ing to an unusually large size, it is always 
tender, crisp and of mild flavor. It remains 
in perfect condition a remarkably long time, 
and unlike other forcing varieties, does not 
become pithy even when twice their size in 
diameter. 
EARLY SCARLET TURNIP— Very early, 
crisp, good forcing. 
ICICLE— A new introduction of the Long 
White; beautiful ivory white color; tine, slen¬ 
der form, quality excellent; very early; fine 
for market. 
VICK’S SCARLET GLOBE—One of the 
very earliest of the forcing radishes and does 
equally well outside; roots are of fair size, 
globe-shaped and with a very small top; al¬ 
ways crisp and tender; color a bright scar¬ 
let. 
SPARKLER WHITE TIP— Quite similar 
to Scarlet Turnip White Tipped as to size 
and time of maturity. The root, however, 
is more round or ball shaped, and the white 
extends further up on the radish, and on 
this account is more popular in many mar¬ 
kets. 
LONG SCARLET SHORT TOP — Very 
long and crisp, for frames and open ground. 
CHARTIER WHITE TIPPED — Shades 
from crimson to white; tender. 
LONG WHITE VIENNA OR LADY 
FINGER —Crisp and tender in summer; one 
of the best. 
FRENCH BREAKFAST —Earliest, most 
handsome, tender and crisp. Deep, glossy 
crimson with white tips. 
WHITE STRASBURG SUMMER— Very 
large; the German’s favorite; quality fine. 
WINTER ROSE CHINA — Very hand¬ 
some and distinct and keeps well. 
WINTER LONG BLACK SPANISH—The 
popular winter sort. 
WINTER CALIFORNIA WHITE MAM¬ 
MOTH— A very large white winter variety.
