RADISH 
This is a very important item on every garden seed list, as almost every home garden 
grows radishes. A seed dealer’s reputation depends, many times, on the quality of the 
radish seed he sells. We are proud of the record our stocks have made for many years 
over the country and shall maintain our reputation for high quality radish seed by replen- 
ishing our stocks each year from our own production and from the world’s choicest crops. 
The maturity figures listed indicate the number of days required to grow, from seed sown 
in the open ground, bunching radishes of satisfactory size. The Winter Variety figures 
show the days required to mature roots for keeping in storage.
