Ready for Use from 18 to 25 Days 
CULTURE—Plant radishes on a light soil 
if a choice is possible, and every second week 
for a succession from the time the soil can 
bq worked in the spring till the first light 
frost. Plant in rows, cover the seeds one- 
half inch deep and permit four to ten rad¬ 
ishes to grow to the foot; use eight to twelve 
pounds of seed to the acre. 
ROSY GEM —One of the very best for mar¬ 
ket gardeners; very early, tender, beauti¬ 
ful scarlet, shading off into a white tip. 
EARLY SCARLET TURNIP, WHITE 
TIPPED —Very early, for frames or out¬ 
doors. This is one of the best for market 
gardeners. 
CRIMSON GIANT TURNIP, FORCING— 
A variety extraordinary in that while grow¬ 
ing to an unusually large size, it is always 
tender, crisp and of mild flavor. It remains 
in perfect condition a remarkably long time, 
and, unlike other forcing varieties, does not 
become pithy even when twice their size 
in diameter. 
EARLY SCARLET TURNIP— Very early; 
crisp; good forcing. 
ICICLE— A new introduction of the Long 
White; beautiful ivory white color; fine, 
slender form; quality excellent; very 
early; fine for market. 
VICK’S SCARLET GLOBE— One of the 
very earliest of the forcing radishes and 
does equally well outside; roots are of fair 
size, globe-shaped and with a very small 
top; always crisp and tender; color a 
bright scarlet. 
SPARKLER WHITE TIP— Quite similar to 
Scarlet Turnip White Tipped as to size and 
time of maturity. The root, however, is 
more round or ball-shaped, and the white 
extends further up on the radish, and on 
this account is more popular in many mar¬ 
kets. 
LONG SCARLET SHORT TOP— Very long 
and crisp, for frames and open ground. 
CHARTIER WHITE TIPPED — Shades 
from crimson to white; tender. 
LONG WHITE VIENNA OR LADY 
FINGER —Crisp and tender in summer; 
one of the best. 
FRENCH BREAKFAST — Earliest, most 
handsome, tender and crisp. Deep, glossy 
crimson with white tips. 
WHITE STRASBURG SUMMER— Very 
large; the German’s favorite; quality fine. 
WINTER ROSE CHINA— Very handsome 
and dstinct and keeps well. 
WINTER LONG BLACK SPANISH— The 
popular winter sort. 
WINTER CALIFORNIA WHITE MAM¬ 
MOTH— A very large white winter variety.
