«M.-S.”’ Varieties Are the Very Best 


RADISH 
M.-S. SELECTED SEED 
Sow 1 ounce of seed to 50-foot drill; 
10 pounds in drills to an acre 
Cuxture. To be tender and crisp Radishes 
must be grown quickly, and this requires 
rich soil and plenty of moisture. Commencing 
with the first mild spell in the spring, sow at 
intervals of 10 days. May also be sown as a 
catch crop between rows of beets, lettuce, 
onions, etc. Radishes can be forced in hot- 
beds, but must have plenty of ventilation 
and moisture. 
Early Varieties 
25 to 30 days 
Early Long Scarlet Short-Top. 
Early French Breakfast. Rapid grower. 
Oblong shape; very mild and tender; beau- 
tiful scarlet color, tripped with white. 
Icicle. Slender, smooth, pure white roots that 
average about 6 to 7 inches long when ma- 
tured. Quite early and of excellent quality. 
Long White Vienna or Lady Finger. 
M.-S. EARLY CARDINAL. These little 
Radishes are of the most brilliant fiery red 
color that we have ever seen in a Radish. 
They are perfectly round and come so 
early in the season that if they were only 
of ordinary quality, they would be desir- 
able, but they are unusually tender and 
crisp. They will stand the heat, are fine 
for forcing and are most desirable for both 
the home-garden and market. 
New Glass or Cincinnati Market. A long 
scarlet Radish with a distinctive white tip. 
Fine for home-garden as well as an attrac- 
tive one for market stall. 
Scarlet Globe Early. Can be used for forc- 
ing and early outdoor planting. Small, 
round, red; with rich, crisp, tender flesh. 
White Box. (Turnip shape.) Fine for forc- 
ing and open ground. 
White-tipped Scarlet Globe. A good, very 
early forcing variety. Small; bright scar- 
let with white tip; good quality. 

Icicle Radishes 



Summer Radishes 
Golden Globe. Golden brown skin; per- 
fect globe shape; mild and brittle. 
Large White Stuttgart. Very large, top- 
shaped; flesh and skin white, fine quality, 
firm, and brittle, seldom pithy. Cas be 
stored for winter. 
White Strasburg. Handsome; oblong, ta- 
pering; skin and flesh pure white, firm, brit- 
tle, tender, and retains its crispness even 
when the roots are old and Jarge. With- 
stands severe heat and grows quickly. 
Winter Varieties 
Plant after August 15 and through 
September 
China Rose or Scarlet China. Bright rose- 
colored, stump-rooted Radish of excellent 
quality. 
Long Black Spanish. Large Radish with 
black skin and white, firm flesh. Grows 
6 to 8 inches Jong. 
Round Black Spanish. Like the above, 
except that it is round. 
Sakurajima or Mammoth Japan. The 
largest sort in cultivation. Sow in rich soil. 
In Japan it grows as much as 21 inches 
long and 43 inches in circumference. Thin 
well to allow proper development. 
White Chinese or New Celestial. Large; 
stump-rooted; white skin and flesh, mild 
in flavor, brittle and never woody. A 
splendid keeper. 
SQUASH 
Bush Sorts: Sow 1 ounce of seed for 50 hills; 5 to 
6 pounds to an acre. Running Varieties: 3 to 4 
pounds in hills to an acre 
Cutture. Squashes should be planted in 
a warm, light, rich soil after the weather has 
become settled and warm—about the middle 
of May or June. Plant in well-manured hills, 
in the same manner as cucumbers and 
melons—the bush varieties 3 to 4 feet apart 
each way and the running kinds from 6 to 
8 feet; 8 to 10 seeds should be sown in each 
hill, thinning out after they have attamed 
their rough leaves and danger from bugs is 
over, leaving 3 or 4 of the strongest plants 
per hill. About 60 and 100 days. 
Blue Hubbard. A selection from the origi- 
nal Hubbard. Fruit large, gray-blue, 
remarkably good keeper and excellent 
quality. Running variety. Late. 
60 days.
