One ounce sows 75 feet of drill. If broadcast requires 10 pounds per acre. For forcing in frames 
sow in January or February. Out-of-doors, sow from March to June for early summer crop. For late, sow 
from July to September. Early sorts mature and are ready for the table in 21 to 30 days from sowing. 
Culture. Quick growth is essential for tender, crisp Radishes. Hence, rich soil and plenty of moisture 
_ are essential. They can be sown at intervals of ten days to two weeks for early use or grown as a catch crop 
between rows of beets, lettuce, onions, etc. 
Round Varieties 
290 EARLY SCARLET TURNIP, WHITE TIPPED. (25 days.) One of the handsomest of the turnip 
varieties and a general favorite in nearly all large markets. It is excellent as a forcing sort or for 
- earliest planting outdoors. Roots nearly round, slightly flattened on under side. Color very deep scarlet 
with distinctive white tip. Flesh white, of best quality. We strongly advise more extensive planting of 
this sort in this locality. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 20c; 14 lb., 60c.

in circumference. becomes pithy, while the Crimson Giant will grow to 6 inches in circumference and 
still remain solid and juicy.
