RADISHES 
If your garden includes some of each of the tliree different classes 
of Radishes'—spring, summer, and winter varieties—it will 
easily keep you supplied with this refreshing vegetable prac¬ 
tically all year around. .Sow seed (except summer and winter 
varietie.s) as early as the ground can be worked, and make 
succession plantings every 10 days. Where the summers are 
hot, sow until the middle of May, then stop, but make tliree 
more sowings during August. Sow the .seed thinly in shallow 
drills and cover with about X i'l- of fine soil. The quality 
of Radishes depends considerably upon thorough soil prepa¬ 
ration, good fertility, and ample moisture. One oz. is 
sufheient for 100 ft. of drill; 8 to 10 lbs. of seed are needed 
to sow one acre planted in drills.

if grown quickly. The skin is bright scarlet-red. The 
flesh is pure white and has a mild, delicious flavor. 
It grows to perfection in rich, loose, well-prepared 
soil. Matures in from 4 to 5 weeks.

893 Sparkler 
Choice early variety that is an excellent 
strain of the old Scarlet Turnip White 
Tip. Small round roots, IX in. in diam¬ 
eter, with bright scarlet top, a clear ; 
white base, and small, slender taproot. The juicy 
flesh is pure white and of an agreeable snappy 
flavor. Matures in 25 days. Our stock of this 
popular variety is perfectly uniform and remark¬ 
ably fine. While the white-tipped Scarlet Turnip 
Radish has long been a favorite, the Sparkler 
strain is unusually desirable. Our ever-increasing 
sales of Sparkler are proof of its popularity.

Radish that has the same qualities as Vick’s 
Scarlet Globe, but with a rounded instead of an

none, and it will remain crisp and solid for a long 
time. Matures in 22 to 25 days. The roots are 
globe to olive-shaped, bright scarlet in color, and 
have a small taproot.
