RADISH—(Continued) 
EARLY SCARLET GLOBE—FORCING STRAIN—SHORT TOP (See Photo 
Page 43) 
Its bright scarlet color, handsome shape, small tap root and ideal size, com- 
bine 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 diameter, 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. Preferred 
by many for outdoor culture on account of the larger tops. 
EARLY SCARLET TURNIP, White Tipped 
One of the most popular of the early turnip-shaped 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 1% inches 
in diameter without becoming pithy. 
ICICLE 
A handsome white radish with roots 6 inches long, growing one-third out of 
the ground. Undoubtedly the most crisp, tender and mild of all table radishes. 
Round Black Spanish 
A popular winter radish. Roots round, 3/4 to 4 inches in diameter with 
slender tap root. Skin 
deep black, flesh white, 
firm, crisp and pungent. 
A good keeper. Matures 
55 days. 
SALSIFY or 
Vegetable 
Oyster 
A packet will sow 20 feet of 
row, an ounce 75 feet, 7 to 8 
Ibs. per acre. 
CULTURE. It succeeds best ina 
light, well enriched soil, which should 
be stirred to a good depth. Coarse 
and fresh manure should be avoided, 
as it will surely cause the roots to 
grow uneven and illshaped. Sow 
early and quite deep, giving the 
general culture recommended for 
parsnip. The roots are perfectly 
hardy and may remain out all winter, 
but should be dug early in spring, as 
they deteriorate rapidly after growth 
commences. Store a quantity for 
winter use in a pit, or in a cellar in 
damp earth or sand. 
Mammoth Sandwich Island 
This is in every way 
superior to the Large 
White, being larger, 
stronger and less liable to 
branch. Invaluable to 
market gardeners. ICICLE RADISH
