RADISH 
Our radish stocks are unequalled by any others to be had from American or European sources. 
Tons of stock seed are grown each year at our seed breeding stations from roots which are pulled, 
hand selected by skilled workers and replanted for seed production in carefully isolated fields. This 
is why our stocks are superior in earliness, uniformity and quality. We have indicated below the 
number of days required under favorable conditions to produce roots of satisfactory bunching size. 
CAVALIER Telegraph 
25 days. A highly colored and very attractive variety for all Code Word 
purposes, and especially for shipping. Tops small; roots oblong- racav 
globe, slightly longer than broad, very firm, and of bright, 
almost true scarlet, color. Especially adapted for growing on 
muck land.
