BURPEE’S RADISHES 
If your garden includes some of each of the three different classes of radishes—spring, summer, and 
winter varieties—it will easily keep you supplied with this refreshing vegetable practically all year 
around. A moderately light soil produces the smoothest and best roots. Sow the seed of spring 
and summer radishes as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, in rows 12 to 
18 in. apart, covering % in. deep. Thin small varieties to stand 1 to 1™% in. apart in the 
row; larger varieties, 3 to 4in. apart. Make succession plantings every week until early 
summer, then resume one month before frost. Seed of winter radishes is sown from 
the middle of June to the middle of August. A pkt. will sow about 20 ft. of row;

29 days. This remarkable radish combines large size with tender 
crispness and mild flavor. The roots, even though they grow to the 
enormous size of 1% in. in diameter, are as crisp as ice if grown 
quickly. The skin is bright scarlet-red. The flesh is pure white and 
has a most delicious flavor. It grows to perfection in rich, loose, well- 









Burpee’s prepared soil. Pick Red Giant when ¥% in. in diameter; or ten days later 
Red Giant when roots measure 11% in. or more—it’s always crisp, sweet and tender.

877 Burpee’s Earliest Scarlet Button© 
25 days. Perfectly round, bright scarlet radish, about 1 in. in diam- 
eter. Bright scarlet skin, thin and tender, and icy white flesh 
which is crisp and juicy and of a mild, delicate flavor. Its 
earliness, the beautiful bright scarlet color, and its unusually 
brittle and delicious quality make it most desirable for home 
gardeners and the larger growers as well, either outdoors or 
under glass. Pkt. 10¢- oz. 25¢; 14 lb. 75¢; 14 Ib. $1.25. 

Radishes do best in loose, deeply prepared soil and 
when growth is quick and steady. Where summers 
are hot, succession sowings should not be made from 
the middle of May until early August.

24 days. This grand radish has established a good reputa- 
tion as a forcing sort. Grows round to olive-shaped, bright 
scarlet radishes, 1 in. in diameter. It is crisp and tasty, with

893 Sparkler 
25 days. Choice early variety that is a superior strain of 
the old Scarlet Turnip White Tip. Small round roots, 134 in. 
in diameter, with bright scarlet top, a clear white base, and 
small, slender tap-root. The juicy flesh is pure white and of 
an agreeable snappy flavor. Our stock of this popular 
variety is perfectly uniform and remarkably fine. While the 
white-tipped Scarlet Turnip Radish has long been a favorite, 
the Sparkler strain is unusually desirable. A very attractive 
radish for bunching or market; an excellent forcer.
