Radies (Ger.) 
RADISHES 
A packet will sow 15 to 20 feet of row; an ounce about 75 feet. 
To get the best radishes in the open ground the soil should 
be loose and quite rich. A little nitrate of soda applied as soon 
as the radishes come up will help a good deal. Sow the seed in 
rows a foot apart and thin the plants to 2 inches apart. 
Dusting the ground with lime or gypsum before the seed 
comes up will help keep the flies out and prevent injury by 
maggots. By sowing radish seed in August or first of Sep¬ 
tember much better radishes can be raised than in the spring 
and summer, as they are not usually injured by maggots in 
the fall. 
Comet Radishes 
They remain firm and tender longer than any kind we know. 
EARLY SCARLET GLOBE. fp e , cial straln - ™ s is J he 
- kind most used by market 
gardeners for forcing and open ground and is the best strain of this 
variety we know. The radishes are a very handsome olive shape, bright 
scarlet in color, crisp and tender. Under favorable conditions, they may 
be pulled about 20 days from sowing. The tops are not as large as most 
strains of this variety. Our strain has proved to be the most uniform 
stock of regular Early Scarlet Globe.

HARRIS’ SPECIAL SCARLET FORCING. Also called (Glowing 
Ball). Has smaller tops and matures a day or two earlier than Early 
Scarlet Globe. The radishes are perfectly round, and very bright 
scarlet, while the flesh is white, crisp, and of mild flavor. This is a 
superior variety for spring forcing as well as the open ground. We offer 
the finest, most, even stock.

COMET. (New.) Long Standing Round. Fine for home gardens. 
- - This is an ideal kind for home garden and roadside markets 
where a round radish is wanted. It will stand without becoming pithy 
and soft longer than any kind we know. These radishes are very mild 
and we have seen them still hard and crisp fully two weeks after the 
other varieties had become soft. 
They are nearly round, with small tap roots and are of a most pleas¬ 
ing bright deep scarlet color. We particularly recommend Comet for 
the home garden and for the grower who wants round radishes.

SCARLET CHAMPION. (New.) A new large scarlet radish of great 
merit and a marked improvement on Crimson Giant Globe. Produces 
large bulbs of brilliant scarlet color and solid while flesh. Mild in 
flavor and fine for the home as well as market gardens.

Ravanelli (It.) 
Icicle Radish 
Crystal white, tender 
and mild. 
(New.) The Best Half Long Red. This new 
-1 kind is about the same shape and size as the best 
Icicle, but is of a brilliant scarlet color. The roots usually grow about 
half out of the ground and are 3 to 4 in. long. The flesh is of excellent 
quality being mild and crisp. The tops are small and this is altogether a 
very fine variety both for forcing or outdoor growing. 
This radish has replaced the old Long Scarlet Short Top which we 
have discontinued listing.

top strain and it does equally well in greenhouse, frame or garden.

Winter Radishes 
These varieties should be sown in July and August as they 
do not succeed if sown in the spring. They are excellent for fall 
and winter use, and will keep a long time in sand and in the 
cellar. To get best growt h give plenty of room, thinning to three 
to five inches while young. 
LONG BLACK SPANISH. A long, smooth radish nearly 
' the same size at the bottom as the top. The outside is deep 
black while the flesh is white, crisp and of fine quality.

a turnip. Our strain grows perfectly round and has deep 
black skin without white rings.

“I have used Harris’ Cavalier Radish and find it the best for 
greenhouse use, because it is rapid in growth, has a short lop and 
gives good roots, bright in color and ideal in shape.” 
Harold T. Bennett, Arlington, Mass. Nov. 1938. 
“The Comet radish seed 1 had from you this spring is the very 
best I ever had.” Frank A. Cole, Keene, N. H. June 17, 1939. 
“I can assure your house this (Scarlet Champion) is the best 
radish that we ever had—it is A-l.”

growing with remarkable rapidity and on this ac¬
