MARKET GARDENERS’ SEED STORE 
RADISHES 
Culture—For early planting, radishes should be planted on high land, and seed from 
the larger tops should be used. Sow in rows 16 in. apart and when weather gets 
warmer, radishes should be planted on low land or muck soil and seed from the 
shorter tops should be used. In order to have fine radishes at all times they should 
be planted from 2 to 3 times a week—then you will have good radishes for the 
market every day. Later in the fall they should be planted on high land again 
and seed from the larger tops should be used.

No. 2 Scarlet Globe. Special outdoor strain with more top. 
Transplanted stock. Since a few years we have had an 
increasing demand for a Scarlet Globe radish which will 
produce somewhat larger tops than our regular reselected 
Scarlet Globe, it sometimes occurs that the tops of the 
latter variety when sown outside remain too short so that 
they do not bunch well for shipment. This demand has 
prompted us to select a strain with somewhat larger tops 
and we are glad to be able to offer it to the trade now... .50 4.50 40.00 
No. 3 Radish Cavalier. Bright Scarlet Globe. Special green¬ 
house stock. Short top transplanted. We have offered a 
special greenhouse stock of scarlet globe radish a few years 
ago which has made many friends. We now offer an im¬ 
proved stock of this type in addition to an earlier maturity. 
This strain is much improved in color which is a rich 
brilliant scarlet approaching the saxa-color. Its main ad¬ 
vantage is the unsurpassed quality. Crisp as no other rad¬ 
ish, thin skinned and much longer standing before be¬ 
coming pithy .75 7.00 65.00

transplanted roots for customers desiring an extra fine 
quality. We devote great care to the breeding of improved 
strains of Radishes, and this is the most perfect strain 
that we have ever had to offer the market gardeners. This 
stock is unsurpassed for evenness, earliness and quality.. .75 7.00 65.00 
Comet (new). Award of Merit. All American selection 1935. 
There is an increasing demand for a radish that has the 
same qualities of Scarlet Globe but with a round instead 
of an olive shaped bulb. Comet, we believe, will fill the 
bill and it will be superior to Scarlet Globe in keeping and 
eating qualities and it will remain crisp and solid when all 
other early radishes. Scarlet Globe included, have got pithy. 
The bulb is perfectly ball shaped. The color bright scarlet. 
Comet grows to a larger size than other strains and still 
remains solid. We are fully confident that it will prove a 
valuable and popular variety especially for shipping..... .75 7.00 65.00
