R.B.BUCHANAN SEED CO. MEMPHIS. TENNESSEE. 
BUCHANAN’S RADISH SEEDS 
Radish originally came from the East Indies and has been cultivated in Europe since the 16th Century. 
Seed breaks ground in 5 days. One inch high in 8 days under most favorable circumstances in greenhouse. 
Sow Radish Seed just before the cherry is in bloom. This is one of the earliest vegetables that one can 
grow in the garden in the Spring. Radishes grown on thin soil can never be good. They will be misshapen 
and tough, the shape largely influenced by the depth the seed is planted. When planted too deep they 
usually get too long. To be good, they must always be grown quickly. Radishes which grow slowly are 
usually tough and hot. In selecting the seed of Radishes for hot beds, always be sure to select those 
varieties with short tops. 
CULTURE—Sow in open ground, in spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. Sow in rich, sandy loam, 
in drills 18 inches apart; thin plants to prevent crowding. Keep the soil loose and apply a little nitrate of 
soda. Successive plantings should be made every 10 days or 2 weeks to keep up a continuous supply of 
crisp and tender radishes. For early use plant the round or button radishes and olive shaped. For later 
use plant the long and half-long varieties. Sow one ounce of seed to 100 feet of row. 
FOR FIELD PLANTING—Plant in rows 16 inches apart, plants 3 inches apart, 8 to 10 lbs. to acre; 
matures in 24 to 40 days.

ROUND AND TURNIP-SHAPED VARIETIES 
339—EARLY SCARLET TURNIP (26 days) (White Tipped)—One of the best early radishes 
for the home garden and a great favorite in large markets for early planting outdoors. The 
roots are nearly round, slightly flattened on the underside. The color is very bright, deep 
rose-carmine scarlet with a distinctly white tip. The flesh is white and of the best quality. 
The stock we offer is exceptionally attractive in its splendid coloring. The scarlet is unusually 
deep and affords a distinct contrast with the large, clear white tip.

351—BUCHANAN’S SCARLET GLOBE (24 days)—One of the earliest and best for forcing; 
color a very handsome shade of scarlet, mild flavor, crisp and juicy, stands a great amount 
of heat without becoming pithy. This variety does equally well for forcing and outdoor 
planting. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 2 ozs., 20c; % lb., 25c; Yz lb., 35c; 1 lb., 65c; 5 lbs., $2.00 
338—EARLY SCARLET TURNIP (26 days) — A round, red turnip-shaped radish with small 
tops and of very quick growth, deserving general cultivation on account of its rich, scarlet- 
red color, almost crimson, and its white, crisp, and tender flesh. The roots often grow 1 inch 
long and 1% inches in diameter before becoming pithy. This is a splendid variety for 
early outdoor planting for the home garden and market.

347—CRIMSON GIANT (29 days)—Suitable both for forcing and early planting out of doors.

and still remain solid, not showing the least sign of becoming hollow. In shape it is round 
to oval and very attractive. The flesh is mild and tender.

344—BUCHANAN’S NEW PERFECTION (25 days) (White Tipped)—This type of radish, 
having red skin with a white tip, has long been a great favorite, and with this variety the 
white portion extends much farther up than is the case with ordinary Scarlet Turnip 
White Tip Radish. The general contour is turnip-shape, and size medium, very uniform, with 
flesh crisp, tender, and sparkling. The rapidity of its growth recommends “New Perfection” 
for growing in the greenhouse, but it is equally as valuable for sowing in the vegetable 
garden. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 2 ozs., 20c; x / 4 lb., 25c; Yz lb., 35c; 1 lb., 65c; 5 lbs., $2.00

quick - growing, small, olive - shaped radish 
about 1 Yz inches long by % to % of an 
inch in diameter when fully grown. The 
color is beautiful deep rose-scarlet except 
a little clear white about the tip. This is 
an excellent variety for planting outdoors 
for the home garden. Its small tops and 
earliness make it also desirable for grow¬ 
ing under glass.
