ICICLE RANCH 
The most popular and earliest long, pure white radish. Our Icicle strain is well known 
for its high standard of quality. Standard in home and market gardens and may be 
used for forcing. Tops are quite small. We recommend our Icicle as superior for Lady 
Finger and White Vienna. 
SHAPE —5 to 6 inches long, slender, smooth, tapering at tip; especially tender and 
brittle, with splendid mild flavor. 
~ COLOR—Snow white throughout. 
LONG BRIGHTEST SCARLET or Cardinal RANGE 
The best long red shipping and market sort. Our strain is known for its beautiful vivid 
scarlet color and its earliness. 
SHAPE —4!/5-to 5 inches long, straight, slender, smooth, no side roots, uniform: holds 
crisp and tender stage. 
COLOR —Bright scarlet with white tap root. 
PHILADELPHIA WHITE BOX RATTY 
A medium early sort, used as either an outdoor or forcing type. 
SHAPE —Large, round to slightly top shape, fine textured, tender, of good quality. 
COLOR—Entirely white. 
SAXA RAVEL 
Early forcing variety. Particularly desirable as it holds its marketable stage well under 
greenhouse and forcing conditions; very small tops. Also a good outdoor market 
radish. 
SHAPE —Uniformily round, small, smooth, tender tap root; flesh, white, crisp, of 
good quality. 
COLOR—Entirely a deep scarlet. 
SCARLET BALL RACAR 
This new radish is rapidly becoming important for the home and market gardener, 
and shipper. It is well liked as a forcer. 
Note: See complete description under ''shipping strains". 
SPARKLER WHITE TIP or Perfection RAZOR 
A very popular variety in home and market gardens that is somewhat similar to Scarlet 
Turnip White Tip except that the Sparkler has a larger white area on the roots. Tops 
are small. The demand for this Sparkler strain is far greater than for the early Scarlet 
Turnip White Tip. 
SHAPE —Round, smooth, of particularly fine quality, white brittle flesh. Small tap root. 
COLOR—Upper portion deep scarlet and lower one-third distinctly defined clear white. 

SPARKLER WHITE TIP—Standard in the home and market garden.
