RADISH—the Season Through 
Radies (Ger.) Kavanello (It.) 
The Radish is a native of China and Japan. 
Being a root crop, good brittle radishes require light, well- 
worked soil, made very rich and mellow. They are easy to grow 
and frequent plantings will insure a constant supply for the 
table. Summer varieties can be sown all spring and well into 
summer. Winter varieties should be planted in August and 
September. 
THE ONONDAGA. The perfect radish—an early scarlet globe, 
forcing and outdoor variety. This very fine and improved 
type of bright scarlet Globe Radish will prove a splendid 
addition to our line of radishes. It is equal to the best of 
the Early Forcing Globe type, but a much better yielder, 
producing practically 100 per cent perfect radishes. This is 
the reason why it appeals to the market gardener. It is the 
best money maker of all the scarlet radishes listed in recent 
years. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; lb., 90c. 
SCARLET GLOBE. This grand radish has established a repu¬ 
tation as a forcing sort. Its peculiarity is that it will bear 
the heat requisite for forcing without becoming pithy or 
suffering injury to its flavor. Its color is a rich scarlet. 
It has a small top and is a high bred radish. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 15c; lb„ 90c. 
EARLY SCARLET TURNIP, WHITE TIPPED. An attractive 
sort, extensively used by truckers, and in home gardens.

pulled when 1 to 114 inches in diameter. Pkt., 10c; oz.,

KING OF DENMARK. Also known as “Antvorskov.” 
This new variety is undoubtedly the most valuable 
introduction of spinach in recent years. Although 
the plants are ready for use almost as soon as the 
medium early sorts they remain in good condition 
from a week to two weeks after all other varieties 
have gone to seed. The plants are of rapid growth, 
resemble the Long Season in type but leaves are 
more crumpled or blistered and are of darker green 
color. The leaves are thick, stand well after cutting 
and are of good quality. We believe this variety 
will in a few years be one of the leading sorts as 
its distinctive qualities are sure to win favor for 
it from both the home and market gardener. Oz., 
15c; lb., 45c. 
LONG STANDING, Prickly. A deep green variety 
with rather elongated smooth leaves. Seed, round. 
Stands a long time without running to seed. Oz., 
10c; lb., 45c. 
VICTORIA. A long-standing variety with round, 
slightly savoyed leaves. Deep green and hardy. 
Forms good, edible leaves early and continues to 
produce leaves for a long period. Oz., 10c; lb., 40c. 
BLOOMSDALE SAVOY. The variety most generally 
used in the East, and especially throughout the 
South for shipping. Leaves large, round and thick, 
very much savoyed and rich deep green. One of 
the earliest varieties. Seed round. Oz., 10c; lb., 
45c; 10 lbs., $4.00. 
NEW ZEALAND. A plant with thick, fleshy texture 
and soft crystalline leaves. Is not like the ordinary

way. Oz., 15c; lb., 85c.
