Cavalier 
NEW Short Top Scarlet Globe 
Seldom has a new variety met with such instant and 
general approval as this new radish. Growers everywhere 
are most enthusiastic over it. 
The short tops, deep scarlet color, beautiful shape and 
extreme uniformity, and ability to stand a long time which 
makes it possible to pull practically 100% number one 
radishes, make it the best forcing type we have ever seen. 
Leading growers tell us that these radishes sell for the 
best prices even when the market is slow. 
The seed we offer is all grown from carefully selected 
transplanted roots. See prices below. 
What Growers think of Cavalier: 
“Cavalier Radish has proved to be way ahead of any radish we have ever 
had. Last fall (1936) from one bed 70 ft. x 150 ft. we pulled 2761 doz. 
bunches Early Scarlet Globe. This fall we harvested 4162 doz. bunches of 
Cavalier from the same bed.” 
November 23, 1937 ALONZO PARR, Irondequoit, N. Y. 
“1 have used Harris' Cavalier Radish and find it the best for greenhouse 
use, because it is rapid in growth, has a short top and gives good roots, 
bright in color and ideal in shape.” 
November, 1938 HAROLD T. BENNETT, J. S. Crosby Farm, 
Arlington, Mass. 
Early Scarlet Globe Radish 
Special Strain 
This is the finest strain of regular Early Scarlet Globe 
both for outdoor and greenhouse growing on the market 
today. 
The radishes are the true olive shape, and of an 
attractive bright red color. They are early and very uniform 
in maturity and have tops which though a little taller than 
Cavalier do not grow too large. The seed is vigorous and of 
high vitality which is of utmost importance to the green¬ 
house grower. See prices below. 
Comet (NEW) 
Round, Bright Scarlet—Long Standing 
In our trials during the past few years this variety stood longer than any other kind, even 
attaining a growth of 2" in diameter without becoming soft. It is a very attractive radish, nearly 
all round, with fine tap roots, brilliant scarlet in color and with medium tops. Growers who desire a 
round radish both for outdoors and forcing should try this new kind. See prices below. 
CAVALIER. (NEW) Short Top Scarlet Globe. See above.

Crimson Giant Globe. 
Good commercial stock. Scarlet Champion (described on page 27) is a much 
better radish of this type. 
Delicacy. (White Globe). 
A very fine white radish for summer or late fall use. Of globe shape, pure 
white and of fine quality. One of the best white summer varieties. 
EARLY SCARLET GLOBE. Special Strain. See above. 
Early Scarlet Globe. 
An excellent stock but not quite as fine as our special strain. 
EARLIEST SCARLET WHITE-TIPPED. Forcing Strain. 
The radishes are round, brilliant scarlet with white bottoms. This is the 
finest strain of white-tipped radish, having small tops and is superior both 
for forcing and outdoor growing.
