Jerome B. Rice Seed Co. 
WHITE GIANT STUTTGART (42 days)—The roots are large, top-shaped 
and frequently four inches in diameter and of equal length; of a clear 
white color. A fine summer or fall radish. 
WHITE STRASBURG (39 days)—Roots are about 5 inches long, thick at 
the shoulder and abruptly tapering; skin and flesh pure white, and remain 
firm and brittle longer than most varieties. 
Fall or Winter Varieties 
LONG BLACK SPANISH (55 days)—One of the latest and hardiest varie¬ 
ties for winter use; roots 8 to 9 inches long, 2 to 3 inches in diameter, and 
nearly black in color. 
ROUND BLACK SPANISH (56 days)—Roots are round, inclined to top- 
shape, and 3 to 4 inches in diameter; skin almost black; flesh white, crisp 
and pungent. 
ROSE CHINA WINTER, or SCARLET CHINA (52 days)—One of the 
very best winter sorts. Roots are cylindrical, or largest near the bottom; 
stump rooted or blunt at both ends; skin smooth and bright, deep rose 
color; flesh white, crisp and pungent. The roots grow 5 to 6 inches long 
and 2 inches thick. 
WHITE CHINESE, or CELESTIAL (60 days)—Roots 6 to 8 inches long, 
thick, cylindrical and smooth, with a beautiful white skin and flesh; the 
whitest and least pungent of the winter radishes. 
Rape 
CULTURE —Prepare the ground as for turnips and sow in June or July, 
with a turnip drill, in rows 2 p 2 feet apart, at the rate of 2 % pounds of seed 
per acre; or sow broadcast, 5 pounds per acre. 
DWARF ESSEX —For sowing. There is no plant that will give so large a yield 
of forage at so small a cost as this. Our strain is an especially selected 
English variety which produces a much heavier crop than the ordinary 
strain. 
Rhubarb 
or Pie Plant 
CULTURE —Rhubarb succeeds best in deep, somewhat retentive soil. A deep, 
rich soil, trenched to the depth of 2 or 3 feet, is required to insure the full devel¬ 
opment of the leaf-stalks. Sow the seed in April in drills, and when the plants 
are of fair size, thin to 9 inches apart, in the drill. In the fall following, or the 
next spring, the plants will be large enough to transplant into rows 3 feet 
apart, setting them the same distance apart in the rows. 
1 ounce will produce 1,000 plants. 
MYATT’S LINNEAUS GIANT —The most popular variety. Broad, thick, 
tender stalks, showing much of the preferred red color. Many growers 
prefer growing their own plants from seed instead of setting divided roots.
