Radish 
Salzer’s Early Bird 
Handsome—Deliciously Spicy 
We introduced this grand variety 
just 40 years ago and have been ex¬ 
tensively developing and improving it 
ever since, so get your seed from us if 
you want genuine, true-to-type seed. 
Don’t take anything “just as good.” 
Salzer’s Early Bird is of globe-shape, 
bright scarlet color, has very short 
tops, flesh is pure white, fine grained, 
crisp, nice, spicy taste, and never be¬ 
comes hollow or pithy. Averages % 
to 1 inch in diameter, according to 
maturity. It is alike most valuable for 
outdoor planting in spring or in au¬ 
tumn, and always commands top 
prices. 
Salzer’s Early Bird, the incompa¬ 
rable radish, produces radishes ready 
for the table in about 12 days’ time, 
radishes that are uniform in size and 
shape, even in maturity, with small 
tops and of beautiful and attractive 
bright red color. It is also the best 
strain for growing under glass. 
Mr. J. F. Koenig, 111 So. 11th 
St., Springfield. Ill., writes, “Early 
Bird gave us radishes in 17 days, 
in spite of dry spell.” Mrs. Ada 
Endrew, Ft. Yates, N. D., writes, 
“Salzer’s Early Bird Radish is the 
best radish we ever tried. It grows 
nicely even in dry weather. ’ ’ Mrs. 0. 
Turnbloom, R. D. 9, Box 9, Toledo, 
Ohio, writes, ‘ ‘ Your Early Bird Radish 
is the best ever.” Rev. A. B. Cham¬ 
berlin, Dike, Iowa, writes, “I have 
found Salzer’s Seeds to be very good, and your Early Bird Radish especially fine.” Mrs. Otto Bohl- 
man. Box 852, Kelso, Wash., writes, “Ypur Early Bird Radishes matured in just 14 days,” Manda D. 
Roberts, Montpelier, Ohio, writes, “Since moving here we failed to receive your catalog. Please send 
us one as we feel we can’t plant without Salzer’s Early Bird Radish and Salzer’s Icicle Radish, both of 
which we have always planted for years. 
Salzer’s Early Bird is a sure yielder and will not disappoint a single market gardener nor home gar¬ 
dener who sows it, but will be a source of genuine pi easure and profit. We know of none of our vegetables 
that will pay the market gardener better, and that is fnore desirable for the kitchen garden, than Sal¬ 
zer’s Early Bird Radish, planted and sown in every section of the country.

Early Bird 
Seed 
Now, the substance of the whole matter is this: If you are at all anxious, 
either as a market gardener or as a grower of Radishes for your own private 
table, to have Radishes from 6 to 12 days ahead of your neighbor, and if you 
are anxious to have the finest Radish that seed can produce, even under the 
most adverse circumstances, then by all means plant Salzer’s Early Bird. Its 
crisp, brittle flavor, as well as its remarkably quick growth and fine color, alike 
recommend it. In favorable weather the Radishes matured in about 12 days. 
Not only is Salzer’s Early Bird extremely early, but it also yields heavily and 
its quality is unsurpassed. You will agree that it is the earliest, finest and 
best tasting radish that is grown to-day.

Bird.—Mr. Franklin Rose, Box 477, Redfield, S. D.
