WINTER RADISHES 
Should Not Be Planted Earlier Than June 15 
Both unique and useful. Matures early, generally in about 
14 days. Nothing produces a more pleasing effect on the 
table than this beautiful variety. The roots are of globular 
form, tops are short and attractive, which makes it valuable 
for cultivation under glass. The flesh is very crisp and solid 
and of mild pleasing flavor. Its most attractive and distinc¬ 
tive feature, however, is the unique color of the skin. The 
ground color is beautiful ivory white, striped horizontally 
and splashed with bright scarlet. Sure to become popular 
with market gardeners and private planters. Pkt. 5c; oz. 
15c; 2 oz. 25c; Vi lb. 40c; Vi lb. 75c; lb. $1.25; 2 lb. $2.10,

New White Icicle 
The Finest of All Radishes. The Earliest of the Long White 
Sorts 
Ready for the table in about three weeks. The roots are 
perfectly white in color, long, slender and tapering in shape. 
They quickly grow to market size and remain tender during 
the entire growing period, and are quite as good when an 
inch in diameter as when only half an inch. The leaves are 
short, very few in number, and the roots can, therefore, be 
grown very close together. The flesh is crisp, tender, and 
mild in flavor. Admirably adapted for growing under glass 
as well as in the open ground. Excellent for market and 
private gardens. Pkt. 5c; oz. 13c; 2 oz. 20c; Vi lb. 27c; 
Vi lb. 45C; 1 lb. 80c; 2 lbs, $1.45, postpaid. 
Sweet, Crisp, Juicy, Mild, Wonderful Yielder—Beautiful Color 
—Large Size 
Our Crimson Giant Globe Radish is one of our leading spe¬ 
cialties, and many of our gardener friends who grow for mar¬ 
ket look forward for large quantities every season. See page 
63 of this book for prices in quantity. This Radish is an en¬ 
tirely new type and differs radically from all varieties hitherto 
in cultivation, insofar as its roots attain more than double 
the size of other round, early varieties, without getting pithy 
or hollow. It is very early, notwithstanding its size. Color 
crimson, flesh pure white, of the best quality. The roots often 
weigh 1 Vi ounces each and are crisp and juicy. Fine for 
outdoors and forcing. The seed should be sown very thinly 
to permit full development of the roots. Pkt. 5c; oz. 13c; 
2 oz. 20c; Vi lb. 27c; Vi lb. 45c; lb. 80c; 2 lbs $1.45, postpaid.
