and are principally used for seasoning. Bright red; 
about 4 inches in length. Very productive.

flesh is thick, white, and so mild in flavor that it can 
be sliced and eaten like tomatoes or cucumbers. 
SWEET MOUNTAIN. Another variety that re¬ 
sembles BuIInose, but is larger, sweeter, and of 
milder flavor. Plants vigorous and productive. 
PIMIENTO. The fruits of this very productive 
sort are exceptionally smooth and glossy, of good 
size, medium length, and attractive color. The flesh 
is very thick and solid, mild, and of very fine flavor.

it is also the sort used largely by canners. The plants

■ l\ I lid about 50 hills 
Plant the seed in April or May, in hills 6 by 6 feet 
or more in the garden, using nine or ten seeds to a 
hill and thinning to the best three when the plants 
are well up. May also be grown among hills of corn; 
should be planted 9 or more feet apart each way. 
CONNECTICUT FIELD. One of the best for field 
planting, being largely grown for stock feeding. Seed 
about same as that of Small Sugar but cleaner. 
GREEN STRIPED CUSHAW. The rich yellow, 
close-grained, sweet, tender flesh has made this a 
favorite. The skin is striped with mottled green bands 
of creamy white. Seed white, velvety, wrinkled. 
LARGE CHEESE (Kentucky Field). Particularly 
prized for the home-garden because of its thick, fine- 
flavored flesh and good keeping qualities. It is a 
large, round, flattened sort with creamy buff skin 
and averages about 2 feet in diameter. 
KING OF THE MAMMOTHS. The popular 
exhibition Pumpkin that usually is the prize-winner 
at the fairs. It is not unusual for a specimen to 
weigh 60 pounds. The skin is salmon-orange, with 
very thick, bright yellow flesh which is fine grained, 
tender, and of fine quality. Seed large, white. 
SMALL SUGAR (New England Pie). One of the 
best pie Pumpkins. The fruits are but 10 inches in 
diameter, but what they lack in size they more than 
make up in quality. Flattened and slightly ribbed, 
with sweet, deep orange-yellow flesh. An excellent 
keeper. Seed white, velvety, mealy, medium size. 
I (£ LJ E* £ One ounce will sow about 
100 feet of row 
Radishes like a soil that is open, warm, and quick. 
AH Radish seed is dark yellowish brown with a 
purple cast, semi-round, resembling small pebbles, 
and averaging jj to Y inch in diameter. Sow seed 
of the early round or olive-shaped varieties as early 
in spring as the ground can be worked, Y inch deep, 
in rows 12 to 18 inches apart. Seed should be sown 
thinly, and if plants come up closer than 1 inch, they 
must be thinned out. Sow at intervals for succession 
until about the middle of May when the long sorts 
should be sown; about July 1, the winter varieties. 
Round Varieties 
COOPER’S SPARKLER, WHITE-TIPPED. A 
comparatively new variety. Globular in shape; rosy 
carmine, with white tip; solid and crisp; very short 
top. Very popular on many markets. 
CRIMSON GIANT. This variety grows twice the 
size of the other round sorts and still remains solid. 
It often reaches a diameter of 2 inches without losing 
its juiciness or becoming pithy. The roots are round 
to oval in shape and crimson in color, with mild, 
tender flesh. It may be used for forcing or early 
spring planting. 
EARLY BIRD (Non Plus Ultra). Also known as 
Fireball or Scarlet Button Radish. A very early 
round, rather than turnip-shaped, Radish. Bright 
scarlet color; clear white, brittle flesh. The top has 
very few leaves, which are short, permitting close 
growth. A desirable forcing variety. 
EARLY SCARLET TURNIP. Largely used for 
open-ground planting. It is a quick grower of round 
form, and has mild, crisp flesh. A very early sort. 
FRENCH BREAKFAST. A desirable variety for 
forcing and early planting outdoors. It is of oblong 
shape, bright pink above and white below, with 
mild, tender flesh.

round shape; bright scarlet, with crisp white flesh 
and small top. Does not shoot to seed quickly. 
SCARLET TURNIP WHITE-TIPPED. Very 
popular market sort because of its attractive appear¬ 
ance. The Radishes are very deep scarlet in color, 
with white tip. Flesh white and of fine quality. A 
great favorite for early planting outdoors.
