SOARLKT OR CARDINAL CLOUR RADISH. 
SCARLET OR CARDINAL GLOBE RADISH 
The Scarlet or Cardinal Globe is our most important market gardeners' forcing radish. The roots are tit for use 
three weeks from the time of sowing. For forcing in green houses, hot beds or cold frames, and for sowing in the open 
ground early in the spring, it is unequalled and very popular. The bulbs are round or slightly olive-shape and a rich, deep 
scarlet color, with white and lender flesh. On account of its very attractive color and shape, it hcIIh better than most 
other sorts. It is mild, crisp, juicy and tender. It forms a very small top and does not become pithy.

Since we flint introduced, a few years since, tills superior 
new, early, long white radish, wo have received hundreds of 
letters unqualifiedly endorsing it us by far the earliest, hand¬ 
somest and best in quality of any of its class. In our own 
trials it lias never failed to give good edible radishes in 
twenty days from sowing, and has remained in fine condition 
for use longer than any other extra early variety. Wo offer 
choice seed grown for us by the originator In-France. Pkt.,

JOHNSON & STOKES’ OLIVE SCARLET 
RADISH 
A decided improvement on the ordinary deep scarlet 
olive-shaped radish, selected and perfected by a Philadel¬ 
phia market grower. The tops m e so small that the radishes 
may almost stand touching each other in the rows. Its fine 
shape is not its only superior quality, bill it is the handsomest 
in color of all deep red sorts, selling better in market than 
other olivc-slmpcd sorts. It is also the best early red radish 
for the home garden, being unusually crisp and tender.
