Forbes Strain 
Scarlet Globe 
Radishes 
Radishes 
Scarlet Globe. This really fine outdoor strain excels others because it is produced 
from transplanted roots selected for uniformity. The brilliant scarlet, smooth 
roots have tops just right for bunching. In about 3 weeks you'll have attractive, 
solid, crisp, uniform roots that will catch any buyer’s eye. 
Scarlet Globe, Short-Top. This is a specially selected stram for greenhouse forcing, 
muck-soil growing and for midseason crop outdoors. It has uniform clean bright 
scarlet globe-shaped Radishes with small tap-roots. The fine, uniform, small 
tops of this strain, produced from specially selected transplanted roots, make it 
unbeatable for greenhouse and do not become too Jarge when grown on muck soil. 
Scarlet Globe, Short-Top XXX Strain. This very excellent strain meets the par- 
ticular requirements of the most critical greenhouse and muck-soil growers. It is 
produced from carefully selected, transplanted roots and, in the opinion of the 
most experienced large growers, is close to perfection. The brilliant scarlet, clean 
Radishes are very crisp and solid, and extremely uniform in size and shape. Tops 
are ideal. Matures 4 days before other strains, even outdoors. 
Icicle. A beautiful waxy white, long roots, gradually tapermg down from the 
shoulder which is 54 inch in diameter. The roots are usually 5 to 6 inches long and 
have nice bunching tops. This is the earliest of the long-rooted early summer 
white sorts. Our strain excels all others we have observed. The crisp-as-ice roots 
are remarkably uniform and perfectly shaped. 
White Strasburg. The roots are of elongated turnip shape, 4 to 6 inches Iong and 
2 inches diameter when mature, thick at the shoulder and roundly tapering. 
Flesh crisp, solid and fme. This is one of the best.
