Early Bird Radish gym Rapish 
We introduced this grand radish over 50 years ago and have 
been extensively developing and improving it, so get your seed 
from us if you want genuine, true-to-type seed. Don’t take anything 
“just as good." Salzer’s Early Bird is of globe-shape, bright scarlet 
color, has very short tops, flesh is pure white, fine grained, crisp. 
nice, spicy taste, and never becomes hollow or pithy. Averages 2 
to 1 inch in diameter, according to maturity. It is alike most valu- 
able for outdoor planting in spring or in autumn, and usually com- 
mands top prices. 
































Sal-er’s Early Bird, the incomparable radish, has produced 
radishes ready for the table in 12 days’ time under very favorable 
conditions, radishes that were uniform in size and shape, uniform 
in maturity, with small tops and of beautiful and attractive bright 
red color. For the average gardener, however, one may figure 
about 18 days maturity. It is also one of the best strains for grow- 
ing under glass. 
If you are at all anxious, either as a market gardener or as a 
grower of Radishes for your own private table, to have Radishes 
from 3 to 10 days ahead of your neighbor, and if you are anxious 
to have the finest Radish that seed can produce, even under the 
most adverse circumstances, then by all means plant Salzer’s Early 
Bird. Its crisp, brittle flavor, as well as its remarkably quick growth 
and fine color, alike recommend it. Not only is Salzer’s Early Bird 
extremely early, but it also yields heavily and its quality is unsur- 
passed. You will agree that it is the earliest, finest and best tast- 
ing radish that is grown to-day!
