CONNECTICUT FIELD—The common 
yellow variety. Very prolific. 
LARGE CHEESE—A large, flat sort, 
productive and of good quality. 
TENNESSEE SWEET POTATO—Me¬ 
dium sized, pear-shaped, striped white and 
green; thick flesh and of good flavor. 
KING OF THE MAMMOTH—This is a 
giant among pumpkins, often reaching a 
weight of over a hundred pounds. The skin 
is salmon colored, flesh bright yellow and 
fine grained and good quality. 
QUAKER PIE—Oval in shape, tapering 
to the stem end; flesh and skin of a 
creamy yellow color; fine for pies, being 
fine grained and rich flavored. 
CUSHAW OR CROOK NECK—This ex¬ 
cellent pumpkin ought to be planted more 
largely. It is the heaviest pumpkin for its 
size because of the small seed cavity. It is 
excellent for pies, and yields enormously. 
SUGAR OR PIE—Not a large pumpkin, 
but one of the sweetest and best for pies. 
It is fine grained, deliciously sweet and a 
good keeper; flesh rich, deep, orange-yel¬ 
low in color. 
Pumpkin, Sugar or Pie 
# plant enough Pumpkins for 
pies all winter long. They always 
satisfy. 
RADISHES 
(1 oz. to 100 ft. of drill) 
EXTRA EARLY SORTS—Suitable for 
Forcing in Hot-Beds or Early Sowing Out¬ 
doors. 
CULTURE—For early use the seed may 
be sown in hot-beds in light, sandy soil. 
The first sowing out of doors should be 
made as early as the ground is fit to work. 
For a constant supply sow every ten days 
until the middle of summer. Seed may be 
sown broadcast or in rows. The tender¬ 
ness of the radish depends on a quick, con¬ 
tinuous growth. A rich, sandy soil is best. 
For extra early use, sow the small round 
sorts, follow with the half-long and long 
varieties, and for summer use the later 
sorts. White Strasburg is best as it does 
not become tough and pithy so easily dur¬ 
ing the hot weather. 
ICICLE—The earliest long sort. Al¬ 
though a long radish of good size, it be¬ 
comes fit for use almost as early as the 
small, round sorts. The roots are straight, 
smooth and pure white in color. The flesh 
is almost transparent and brittle as glass. 
EARLY SCARLET TURNIP WHITE 
TIPPED—This sort in shape and size close¬ 
ly resembles the Early Scarlet Turnip, but 
is a little earlier and of more attractive 
appearance. Color handsome bright scar¬ 
let, with white tips.
