Scarlet Globe 
Radishes 





Radishes 
Scarlet Globe. This really fine outdoor strain excels others because it is produced 
from transplanted roots selected for uniformity. The brilliant scarlet, smooth 
roots have tops just right for bunching. In about 3 weeks you'll have attractive, 
solid, crisp, uniform roots that will catch any buyer’s eye. 
Scarlet Globe, XXX Strain. (Screened Seed.) This special selection, primarily 
for outdoor upland culture, is a de luxe strain and is designed to meet the most 
critical demand by outdoor Radish growers who want the very best and are willing 
to pay for it. The bright, pure scarlet, smooth roots, with perfect bunching tops, 
are uniform to the extreme. Try some of this strain this year. 
Scarlet Globe, Short-Top. This is a specially selected strain for greenhouse forcing 
and muck-soil growing. It has uniform clean bright scarlet globe-shaped Radishes 
with small tap-roots. The fine, uniform, small tops of this strain, produced from 
specially selected transplanted roots, make it unbeatable for greenhouse and do 
not become too Jarge when grown on muck soil. Regularly planted by many 
muck-soil growers who much prefer this after comparison with others. 
Scarlet Globe, Short-Top XXX Strain. (Screened Seed.) This very excellent strain 
meets the particular requirements of the most critical greenhouse and muck-soil 
growers. It is produced from carefully selected, transplanted roots and, in the 
opinion of the most experienced large growers, is close to perfection. The brilliant 
scarlet, clean Radishes are very crisp and solid, and extremely uniform im size 
and shape. Tops are ideal. Matures 4 days before other strains, even outdoors. 
Comet. New, fine early sort with bright Crimson Giant. Large, crimson, globe. If 
scarlet, nearly all-round Radishes with pulled when 11% inches across, keeps mild 
fine tap-roots and medium tops. Stands and crisp for several days. Larger tops
