R ADISHES must make a rapid growth to be crisp and tender. For 
early use seed should be sown in the hotbed, in drills, three or 
four inches apart and half an inch deep. For an early crop in the open 
ground, select a sandy soil, and a warm south border, under the shelter 
of a fence or building, if possible, and sow thinly in drills ten inches 
apart. For a succession sow every two weeks until September. A 
load of fresh sandy loam from the woods is better than manure for the 
Radish crop. Good Radishes cannot be grown in heavy soils. As 
soon as the first leaves appear, sprinkle with soot or ashes to save them 
from the little turnip-fly. The Winter Radish should be sown about 
the middle of summer, and makes its best growth in the autumn. 
Pitted out of doors or buried in earth in a cool cellar, it will keep 
crisp all winter. One ounce will sow ioo feet of drill; ten pounds 
to the acre. 
For House or Garden Culture 
VicK’s E-arly Scarlet Globe 
is Unequalled by any other Sort 
Away back in 1884 we introduced this universally popular Radish, and today it is sold 
by almost every seedsman in the world, and is also used by the leading market gardeners both 
for forcing and out-of-door planting. Owing largely to our care in selecting and growing the 
seed, it leads all other varieties. As a forcing Radish, Vick’s Early Scarlet Globe is the best ir 
every way, bearing the heat requisite for forcing without becoming pithy or spongy. 
It is handsome in both form and color, a beautiful oval and a rich scarlet; the flesh is crisp, tender, 
juicy and mild. The amount of its foliage is small compared with other varieties and small for the 
size of the Radish, making it a particularly attractive market sort. 
It is equally as good for open garden culture 
as for forcing and therefore commends itself to the amateur as well as the market gardener. You will find 
“Vick Quality” in every ounce. Packet, 5 cents; oz., 10 cents; % lb., 25 cents; lb., 75 cents. 
VicK’s All Seasons 
French BreaKfast 
The finest of its class. It may be sown from spring until 
autumn, and the roots obtained from late sowings can 
be kept in storage for winter consumption. It can 
be used in all stages, from the size of a marble 
until full grown. The root is round, of 
brilliant scarlet color, grows to a very 
large size, and remains firm and 
brittle to the end. When sliced and 
salted it makes a very fine relish. 
The best Radish for all purposes 
yet introduced. Packet, 5 cents ; 
oz., 10 cents; y lb., 25 cents; 
lb., 75 cents.

VICK S SCARLET GLOBE RADISH 
(Irondkquoit,) Rochester, N. V., Oct. 30, 1906. 
Gent/emeu —During the four years I have secured my seed from you, I have found your Scarlet Globe the best Radish I can procure. The stock 
is uniform in grade, rich in color, extra early, true to type, and a first class shipper. I devote three houses, each 230 x 30 feet, exclusively to- 
Vick’s Scarlet Globe Radish. CHARLES HOWARD.
