RADISHES— 
Northern Michigan Grown 
Isbell’s Michigan grown Radish bears certain well defined points of superiority over seed from other sections. In 
the first place, it is hardier and has proven by test time and time again to be better adapted to a wide variety of 
soils and conditions. That means a surer and earlier 
crop for the gardener. Secondly, the tops run very 
small, desirable when space is valuable. 
Sow Radish seed every two weeks throughout the 
season for a continuous supply of fresh, crisp radishes. 
Isbell’s Early Bird 
The Most Profitable Market Variety 
(See color illustration insicle front cover). Because 
of quick maturity—rich color—perfect shape—ex¬ 
quisite quality, Early Bird gets customers and keeps 
them. Our Early Bird Radish seed is all grown from 
transplanted roots. It costs us more than double to pro¬ 
duce this but it insures uniformity and trueness of type. 
By many years of careful selection and most skillful 
cultivation, this Radish has been bred up to a point that 
will be hard to surpass. It is a very early and quick 
growing Radish, fit to pull in 16 to 20 days, its strik¬ 
ingly rich scarlet color attracts attention everywhere, 
while the flesh is snow-white, always crisp, juicy, mild.
