RADISH 
One ounce will plant a row 100 feet long; 5 to 8 pounds will 
sow an acre in 12-inch rows. When broadcast, 15 pounds of 
the tong, or 25 to 30 pounds of the globe varieties for an acre. 
Culture: The tenderness and sweetnesss of Radishes are 
greatly dependent upon the rapidity of their growth. In the 
latitude of Norfolk sow out-of-doors. % inch deep, from Feb¬ 
ruary to October, broadcast, in drills 18 inches apart, or on 
beds in 10-inch drills, or in drills 1 foot apart. The early va¬ 
rieties are very hardy, but do best if they are sheltered by 
fences or woods. The winter varieties are sown from the mid¬ 
dle of July to the last of September and use ' as needed. Grown 
under glass or cottons, the quality of all Radishes is wonder¬ 
fully improved, and under this cultivation they may be sown 
at any desired time during the winter. 
EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES 
Tait’s Thorobred Favorite Forcing. (25 days). The 
greatest value of this famous Radish, intro 'uced by us many 
years ago, lies in its availability for forcing, since it may 
be depended upon to reach marketable size in twenty-five to 
thirty days, but it is also used largely for field culture, and 
under the most favorable conditions it is possible to grow 
this Radish in four weeks. It is perfect in both shape and 
color, the skin being a bright transparent red, and the shape 
nearly that of an olive, beautiful and wonderfully uniform. 
Its crispness and delicacy of flavor make it an excellent va¬ 
riety for sowing at intervals in the family garden. Never 
buy this Radish except in sealed packages. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 
14 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 85c, postpaid. 
Tait’s Thorobred Twenty-Day Forcing. (20 days). This 
is undoubtedly the quickest growing Radish in cultivation, 
Radishes large enough to eat having been grown under ideal 
conditions in twenty days. The Radishes are round, about 
three-fourths of an inch in diameter, with very few short 
leaves and of a brilliant red color. When pulled young, this 
Radish is remarkably crisp and solid. Especially recommended 
for growing under glass. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; ^ lb., 25c; 1 lb., 
85c, postpaid. 
Scarlet Globe Radish 
EARLY VARIETIES 
LONG VARIETIES 
Cincinnati Market. (30 days). An improved strain of Long Scarlet, often 
called the Glass Radish on account of its brittleness. It grows from 6 to 6 
inches in length and the skin is bright scarlet. Pkt., 5c; oz., IQc; ^4 lb., 20c; 
1 lb., 65c, postpaid.

14 Ib., 20c; 1 lb., 65c, postpaid. 
Sparkler 
Radish 
Celestiol Radish 
Tait’s Thorobred Scarlet Globe. (28 days). This Rad¬ 
ish is one of our specialties, and our Market Gardener’s 
strain of this popular variety is unsurpassed. The bright 
carmine-red color, perfect oval-globe shape, small tap root 
and ideal size combines to make this the most desirable 
Radish for field culture. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; ^ lb., 20c; 1 lb., 
65c, postpaid. 
Crimson Giant. (30 days). A large, nearly globe-shaped

time before getting pithy. Splendid either for the home 
garden or local market. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; % lb., 25c; 
lb., 75c, postpaid. 
Sparkier. (28 days). Similar to Scarlet White Tipped 
but an extra early, round Radish. The proportions of white 
and red are distinctly shown on the root, and the con¬ 
trasting colors being so nearly equal give a most attractive 
appearance. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; % lb., 20c; lb., 65c, postpaid. 
White Box. (30 days). The Philadelphia gardeners are 
partial to this turnip-shaped radish, and, it is grown to 
some extent for shipment to that market. It is a rapid 
grower, with pure white skin and flesh. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 
% lb., 25c; 1 lb., 75c, postpaid.
