PUMPKIN—(Continued) 


BIG TOM PUMPKIN—Grown by A. H. Weiland, Ridge Road, Greece, N. Y. 
Yielded at the rate of 30 tons per acre. 
RADISH 
A packet will sow 20 feet of row, an ounce 100 feet, 8 to 10 lbs. per acre. 
CULTURE. In growing radishes the soil should be finely prepared and quite rich. Plant the seed- 
4 inch deep in rows 12 to 18 inches apart and when up about an inch, thin to 1 or 2 inches apart. 
A«moderate temperature and constant moisture are necessary for best results. Dusting the ground 
with lime or gypsum before the seed comes up will heln keep away the flies and prevent injury 
by maggots. 
CAVALIER 
A very fine outdoor and forcing, short top scarlet globe radish. Remains in 
good eating condition for a long period of time. True olive shape with thin tap 
root. Especially good and uniform on muck soils. 
CHERRY. BELLE—(New) All-American Selection. Outstanding as a 
round radish and will stand a considerable length of time without becoming 
pithy. Beautiful scarlet color, short top and because of its roundness, it is 
desirable for greenhouse use. Seed uniform. We hope to have seed available 
for 1949. 
CRIMSON GIANT 
A variety extraordinary in that, while growing to an unusually large size, it is 
always tender, crisp and of mild flavor. The roots are round, color a beautiful 
carmine crimson. When fully grown they are nearly 2 inches in diameter but 
are very good while much smaller. The flesh is as crisp and mild as any of the 
smaller varieties and they remain in perfect condition a remarkably long time. 
EARLY SCARLET GLOBE NO. 1 
A very special strain of short top Scarlet Globe. A brilliant scarlet which 
makes it most attractive. True olive shape, very uniform, crisp and mild. 
Recommended either for forcing or for muck growing.
