Icicle, but is of a brilliant scarlet color. The roots usually grow about 
half out of the ground and are 3 to 4 in. long. The flesh is of excellent 
quality being mild and crisp. The tops are small and this is altogether a

White Radishes 
or Pearl Forcing. The Best White Radish. This radish 
■ . ■■ should be grown in every home garden, not only for variety 
but because of its extreme high quality. This is the earliest long white 
radish. It grows with remarkable rapidity and on this account is 
valuable for forcing as well as for the open ground. The radishes are 
long, straight, pure white, very smooth and nearly the same size the 
whole length. This is the finest strain for open ground as well as forcing.

Rabarbaro (It.) 
The roots can be raised from seed sown in the spring, and are ready to transplant to the 
permanent bed the next spring. Seedlings cannot be relied upon to produce the variety true 
to type no matter how carefully the seed is raised, so the roots that produce the largest and best 
stalks should be used, the rest being discarded. 
MYATT'S LINNAEUS. Stalks grow very large and are light green and scarlet in color.

MACDON/M D (NEW.) Large Sturdy Plants, Bright Red Stalks Roots only. 
— - This is a remarkable variety and probably the most distinct im¬ 
provement which has been made in rhubarb in a good many years. We obtained the original 
roots a number of years ago from MacDonald College of McGill University at Montreal, 
Quebec, and have increased our stock by root division. 
The stalks of MacDonald are not only large but are bright crimson in color, tender and of 
excellent flavor. When cooked it makes a beautiful deep pink sauce. The plant is high 
yielding, strong and robust. 
We offer roots only of this variety, although MacDonald sometimes puts up a seed stalk 
like other varieties, we have never succeeded in harvesting any seed. 
Roots: Each 55c; 3 for $1.50; Doz. $5.85 transportation paid. Not paid: $19.00 per 100. 
RUBY. (Deep Red) Roots only. This variety is well liked by many persons because of 
the deep red of the stalks which imparts a beautiful deep pink color to the sauce when cooked. 
The stalks are medium size and of a deep red which is carried 
all through the stalk. The flavor is excellent. Large root div¬ 
isions. See also page 82. 
25c Each; 3 for 70c; $2.75 per doz. transportation paid. Not

red stalks. 
Sassefrica (It.) 
A packet ivill sow 15 ft. of row; an ounce 75 ft. 
“Oyster Plant,” as it is often called, is easily grown and is used in the late fall and winter when there are very few 
fresh vegetables to be had. Market gardeners find this a profitable vegetable to grow. 
The largest roots are grown on rather light rich soil, but good ones can be produced on almost any good garden land. 
Sow the seed in May in rows 2 feet apart and thin the plants to 3 inches apart. The roots can be used any time in the fall 
and winter. They may remain in the ground all winter, but before the ground freezes a supply of roots should be dug and 
placed in moist sand in the cellar for use in the winter.
