RADISH 
A packet will sow 20 feet of row, an ounce 100 feet, 8 to 10 lbs. per acre. 
CULTURE. In growing radishes the soil should be finely prepared and quite rich. Plant the seed 
¥ inch deep in rows 12 to 18 inches apart and when up about an inch, thin to 1 or 2 inches apart. 
A moderate temperature and constant moisture are necessary for best results. Dusting the ground 
with lime or gypsum before the seed comes up will help keep away the flies and prevent injury 
by maggots. 
Crimson Giant 
A variety extraordinary in that, while growing to an unusually large size, it is 
always tender, crisp and of mild flavor. The roots are round, color a beautiful 
carmine crimson. When fully grown they are nearly 2 inches in diameter but 
are very good while much smaller. The flesh is as crisp and mild as any of the 
smaller varieties and they remain in perfect condition a remarkably long time. 
Early Long Scarlet 
This small topped variety grows one-third out of the ground. Roots 6 inches 
long, very uniform in shape, with smooth, tender skin and mild, crisp flesh. 
Remain firm and crisp several days. 
EARLY SCARLET GLOBE NO. : 
A very special strain of short top Scarlet Globe. A brilliant scarlet which 
makes it most attractive. True olive shape, very uniform, crisp and mild. 
Recommended either for forcing or for muck growing.

SHORT TOP (See Photo page 44) 
Its bright scarlet color, 
handsome shape, small 
tap root and ideal size, 
combine to make this 
one of the most desirable 
as well as the most 
popular of the early table 
radishes. Until they are 
nearly an inch in diam- 
eter, the flesh is mild and 
crisp. They reach this 
size in 25 to 30 days and 
are at their best when 
not quite full grown. Our 
new short top strain is 
suitable for both indoor 
and outdoor culture. 
EARLY SCARLET GLOBE, 
Medium Top 
This strain is almost 
identical to our Early 
Scarlet Globe, except 
that the roots are a trifle 
more olive in shape and 
the tops are a little 
longer. Preferredby many 
for outdoor culture on 
account of the larger 
tops. 
Early Scarlet Turnip, White 
Tipped 
One of the most popular i 
of the early turnip-shaped ICICLE RADISH 
varieties for the home 
garden. The upper part of the root is rich crimson red and the lower 
part snow white, making an attractive combination. The roots grow 14% 
inches in diameter without becoming pithy. ;
