RICE’S Leader No. 5 
RICE’S Improved 
Scarlet Globe Radish 
THE LEADING EARLY GLOBE TYPE 
(24 days) 
There are many reasons why this strain of Radish leads all 
others in sales. First , there is its attractive, brilliant scarlet color. 
Second , the eating qualities of its crisp, tender, globe-shaped roots 
indicate a sweet, fine texture. Third , the fine round proportions of 
the root with its small top make it good to look at. And fourth, 
it is a strain that retains its good qualities for a long while before 
becoming pithy. 
RICE S Improved Scarlet Globe is one of the earliest forcing 
varieties and it does equally as well outdoors. This type has been 
developed over the years from selected high-grade roots. 
We doubt if there is a Radish anywhere that surpasses RICE’S 
Improved Scarlet Globe in its purity and superior quality. For 
over twenty years Professor Starr has given constant attention 
to the selection and breeding of this improved type. The seeds are 
grown from carefully selected roots at our Michigan farms because 
the Northern radish is the best. Take a look at the photograph of 
RICE’S Improved Scarlet Globe Radish shown on the opposite 
page and you will get a little idea of the fine appearance of this 
leading type.
