Kuerbis (Ger.) 
PUMPKINS 
Zucca (It.) 
A packet will plant 5 or 6 hills; an ounce 20 hills. 
A few hills of pumpkins in the garden will give you the “makins” of many delicious pies in 
the fall and winter. If you grow your own you can get pumpkins of a quality that is impossible 
to match in the commercial canned product, and at very small cost. 
If your garden is small, a few hills among the sweet corn will take up no extra ground. 
ORANGE WINTER LUXURY. ,or This improved strain of Winter 
___1 Luxury has pumpkins which are of a deep 
orange color and beautifully netted. The flesh is very thick, deep orange yellow and of the very 
finest quality for pies. The fruit is of good size, being nearly twice as large as the Small Sugar, 
i Keeps all winter if put in a dry moderately warm place. This seed is grown on our own farm and 
will produce pumpkins of very uniform size, shape and color.

SMALL SUGAR. The Favorite Pie Pumpkin. Small, deep yellow pumpkins, ribbed and

Radies (Ger.) 
RADISHES 
Ravanelli (It.) 
A packet will sow 15 to 20 feet of row; an ounce about 75 feet. 
To get radishes in the open ground that are not “hot” the soil should 
be loose and quite rich. A little nitrate of soda applied as soon as the 
radishes come up will help a good deal. Sow the seed in rows a foot apart 
and thin the plants to 2 inches apart. Dusting the ground with lime or 
gypsum before the seed comes up will help keep the flies out and prevent 
injury by maggots. By sowing radish seed in August or first of September 
much better radishes can be raised than in the spring and summer, as they 
are not usually injured by maggots in the fall. 
Note the short tops. The brilliant scarlet color 
is most attractive. 
Cavalier Radishes 
EARLY SCARLET GLOBE. Special Strain. This radish 
- is the kind most used by 
market gardeners for forcing and open ground and is the best strain of 
this variety we know. The radishes are very handsome, olive shape, 
bright scarlet in color, crisp and tender. Under favorable conditions 
they may be pulled 20 days from sowing. The tops are not as large as 
most strains of this variety. In comparison with many others, our 
strain has proved to be the most uniform stock of Early Scarlet Globe. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 34 Lb. 30c; Lb. 85c. 
HARRIS’ SPECIAL SCARLET FORCING. Also called (Glowing 
Ball). Has smaller tops and matures a day or two earlier than Early 
Scarlet Globe. The radishes are perfectly round, and very bright 
scarlet, while the flesh is white, crisp, and of mild flavor. This is a 
superior variety for spring forcing as well as the open ground. We offer 
the finest, most even stock. Practically every radish is just alike. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 34 Lb. 30c; Lb. 85c. 
CAVALIER. (NEW.) Short Top Scarlet Globe. We recom- 
-1 mend this new strain very highly for those who want 
a fine scarlet globe radish with shorter tops. The radishes are the true 
olive shape and are remarkably uniform. They are of brilliant scarlet 
in color, crisp and mild and have the ability to stand a long time with¬ 
out becoming soft. The tops grow about one inch shorter than our 
special strain of Early Scarlet Globe, which makes this an excellent 
variety for greenhouses, spring frame forcing and growing on muck land. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 34 Lb. 30c; Lb. 85c. 
COMET. (New.) Long Standing Round. Fine for home

EARLIEST SCARLET WHITE-TIPPED. Special Strain. Also 
called “Rosy Gem” and “Rapid Forcing.” This is the most attractive 
radish we know. The radishes are perfectly round, bright red with the 
bottom half clear white. The radish grows rapidly is very crisp and 
mild. This is a short top strain and it does equally well in greenhouse, 
frame or garden. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 34 Lb. 30c; Lb. 85c. 
Crimson Giant Globe. Large, globe shaped, bright scarlet with crisp 
solid white flesh. Grows larger than Early Scarlet Globe. Sometimes
