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 the first part of September much better 
radishes can be raised than in the spring and summer, as they are not usually injured 
by maggots in the fall. 
EARLY SCARLET GLOBE. Long Island Strain. A very fine 
stock of this variety, and because of its 
fine color and uniformity it is highly popular with the most critical growers. 
The firm solid radishes are of brilliant scarlet color, with fine tap roots. 
Grows more rounded than Cavalier. This is a first class medium topped 
stock in every way and we recommend it very highly both for home and 
commercial growers.

EARLY SCARLET GLOBE. Special Strain. This is the kind

we know. The radishes are a handsome olive shape, bright scarlet in color, 
crisp and tender. Under favorable conditions ready in 20 days from sowing.

CAVALIER The Best Short Top Scarlet Globe. We think this is

These radishes are of brilliant scarlet color which makes them most attrac- 
tive. They are the true olive shape, very uniform, crisp and mild and have 
the ability to stand a long time without becoming soft. The tops grow 
somewhat shorter than our special strain of Early Scarlet Globe. This is 
an excellent variety for outdoors, greenhouses, spring frame forcing and 
growing on muck.

White Radishes 
ICICLE or Pearl Forcing. The Best White Radish. 
The radishes are long, straight, pure white, very 
smooth and nearly the same size the whole length. Should 
be grown in every home garden, not only for variety but 
because of its extremely high quality. This variety grows 
with remarkable rapidity and is the earliest long white 
radish. 
This is the stock which has proved so satisfactory to 
our customers. It is the true, refined, short topped strain. 
Ideally suited for forcing and muck growing as well as the 
finest strain for open ground.

“Your seeds are just the same as always. After planting there 
came a long dry spell, but they held their own under the adverse 
conditions; then came the rain and they grew by leaps and 
bounds, and I had a fine garden as usual.’ 
Edward D. Fradenberg, Ulster Park, N. Y. Jan. 28, 1941. 
**We had wonderful luck with your seeds last vear.”’ 
Mrs. Leo J. Alonzo, Livonia Center, N. Y. May 15, 1941.

of great merit and a marked improvement on Crimson

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 growth give plenty of room, thinning 
to three to five inches while young.

the same size at the bottom as the top. The outside is 
deep black while the flesh is white, crisp and of fine 
quality. Keeps all winter stored in moist sand.

deep black skin without white rings.
