Radish, icicle 
CRIMSON GIANT—A variety extraordi¬ 
nary, in that, while growing to an unsually 
large size, it is always tender, crisp and 
of mild flavor. It remains in perfect con¬ 
dition a remarkably long time, and unlike 
other forcing varieties, does not become 
pithy, even when very large; color a beau¬ 
tiful crimson-carmine, flesh Hrm, crisp and 
tender. 
EARLY LONG SCARLET SHORT TOP 
—The standard long red variety. Early 
and of excellent quality. 
FRENCH BREAKFAST—An old favor¬ 
ite of rapid growth with small tops; crisp 
and tender; color a bright red with white 
tip. 
SPARKLER WHITE TIP—Quite similar 
to Scarlet Turnip White Tipped as to size 
and time of maturity. The root, however, 
is more round or ball shaped, and the white 
extends farther up on the radish, and on 
this account is more popular in many mar¬ 
kets. 
EARLY RED OR SCARLET TURNIP— 
No radish is more popular for the home 
garden. A quick growing, round red rad¬ 
ish, with small tops; rich red color; crisp 
and tender. Fine for early outdoor plant¬

doubtedly the brightest and most attrac¬ 
tive long radish grown. Is very early and 
quick growing. The color is a rich red, 
while the tops are pure white; flesh white 
and very tender.

of all the summer radishes. Of good qual¬ 
ity at all stages of its growth, when fully 
grown the roots are about five inches long

becomes tough or pithy, even in the hot¬ 
test weather.

variety of large size. Skin a very brown
