roots have tops just right for bunching. In about 3 weeks you’ll have attractive, 
solid, crisp, uniform roots that will catch any buyer’s eye.

culture, is positively a de luxe strain and is designed to meet the most critical 
demand by outdoor Radish growers who want the very best and are willing to 
pay for it. The bright, pure scarlet, smooth roots, with perfect bunching tops, 
are uniform to the extreme. Try some of this strain this year.

and muck-soil growing. It has uniform clean bright scarlet globe-shaped Radishes 
with small tap-roots. The fine, uniform, small tops of this strain, produced from 
specially selected transplanted roots, make it unbeatable for greenhouse and do 
not become too large when grown on muck soil. Regularly planted by many 
muck-soil growers who much prefer this after comparison with others.

particular requirements of the most critical greenhouse and muck-soil growers.
