RADISHES 
One package of seed will sow 15 feet of row; 1 ounce 60 feet. 
This is another vegetable that loses about half its flavor if not eaten within a very 
short time after it is taken from the ground. Radishes wilt like flowers and other vege- 
tables and lose their fresh crispness and juicy delicate flavor. 
You can not know how 
really good Radishes are if you haven’t gone out in the garden in the early morning and 
pulled a few for your breakfast. 
For forcing sow in hotbed or under glass in rich sandy loam. Scatter 50 to 100 seeds to 
the foot and cover with one-fourth inch of soil sifted on. Sow in garden as early as pos- 
sible in rows about 1 foot apart and thin to prevent crowding. A good dressing of nitrate 
of soda will greatly help their growth and make them tender and crisp. Successive sow- 
ings every week or ten days will keep your table well supplied the entire season. 
Vick’s Early Scariet 
Globe Radish 
Our Special Strain of this Radish for 
the home and market garden is very 
fine. The seed is selected from bulbs of 
the true Scarlet Globe type. It is a strain 
we can recommend to both market and 
home garden growers for it runs very 
uniform. Vick’s Scarlet Globe is the best 
all-around Radish on the market. Tops 
are medium long and very strong. Bulbs 
of our Special Strain are uniformly true 
olive-shaped, rich scarlet; flesh pure 
white, crisp, tender, juicy; mild.

Cavalier. A new brilliant scarlet, olive- 
shaped Radish, very uniform in size and 
shape. Quick growing and with short tops. 
Flesh solid, crisp, mild and pure white. We 
rank this next to Vick’s Early Scarlet Globe 
for both garden and greenhouse use, but 
better for growing on muck land.

Radishes. The roots are fit for use in about 
25 days and continue in good condition

and can be used for forcing as well as for 
the open ground.

Comet. An early kind, ready in 25 days. 
Round, solid, bright scarlet. This crisp, 
white, mild and tender Radish is unsur- 
passed as a home garden kind. Vick’s Scar- 
let Globe is the best olive-shaped variety; 
Comet the best round Radish. We had both 
Comet and Vick’s Early Scarlet Globe in our 
garden last season and both lived:up to the 
splendid reputation they have as tops in 
garden varieties.

Crimson Giant. Ready to eat in four or 
five weeks after sowing the seed. It is the

white, crisp, tender flesh. In size it is about 
1% inches in diameter and 2 inches thick.

tive pure white Radish, the earliest of the

planting for the home garden and market.

Sparkler. A quick growing variety of 
deep scarlet color, with a distinct white tip 
that makes it very attractive. The flesh of 
this Radish is pure white, crisp, tender and 
delicious. Pkg. 10c; oz. 25c; Y% Ib. 70c 
Plant a few hills of Dickenson Pumpkin. 
Great for the kids on Hallowe’en and splen- 
did for pies and canning, too. 
FALL and WINTER RADISHES 
These Radishes are not intended to be eaten like the spring sorts but should be sliced, 
salted down 15 minutes, drained, and then served without further dressing, when they are 
as tender as you could wish any Radish to be. Sow in May and then every two weeks. 
The October crop should be stored in samd for use in winter.

Scarlet Globe is the Most Popular and no Doubt the 
Best Red Radish For Your Garden 

Vick’s Scarlet Globe is the best olive-shaped red 
Radish; Sparkler the best round red with a white 
tip. 

Comet is probably the best round red Radish for 
your garden. The flesh is solid, crisp and mild, and 
does not get soft or pithy when left in the ground.
