Condon’s Proven Radish Seed 
562 Condon’s Earliest Red Bird—Used Annually by the Largest 
Commercial Growers in America 
Grown from hand 
transplanted roots. 
Proven for Purity in 
Our Greenhouses. 
What is meant by 
“Proven” Radish 
Seed? Just this. In 
harvesting our seed 
crop every lot pro¬ 
duced on every farm 
is kept separate, then 
brought to the seed 
house where it is 
thoroughly cleaned 
by the latest' im¬ 
proved fanning mills. 
It is then run over 
our Gravity machines 
which removes the 
uneven weight seed, 
leaving only the 
cream of the crop. 
It is then packed 120 
pounds per bag and a 
sample drawn from 
each bag. These 
samples are number¬ 
ed and then taken to 
our greenhouses 
where 100 seed of 
each sample are 
planted in rows six 
inches apart as 
shown in the picture. 
This greenhouse is 
run cold, no heat on. 
When mature we' pull 
each row and experts 
compare the color, 
shape, type and 
markings, also the 
leaf growth, and if 
not 99% pure, it is 
not offered for sale. 
“This gives you 
Proven” Radish seed 
that will under 
proper conditions 
produce a perfect 
crop like the trials.
