This is a very important item on every garden seed list, as almost every home garden

radish seed he sells. We are proud of the record our stocks have made for many years 
over the country and shall maintain our reputation for high quality radish seed by replen¬ 
ishing our stocks each year from the world’s choicest crops. The maturity figures listed 
indicate the number of days required to grow, from seed sown in the open ground, bunching 
radishes of satisfactory size. The Winter Variety figures show the days required to mature 
roots for keeping in storage.
