Early Scarlet Globe Radishes 

Icicle Radishes 

Mammoth Salsify 

Radishes 
A packet will sow 15 to 20 feet of row; 1 ounce about 75 feet; 10 pounds per acre. 
Sweet, crisp and colorful Radishes are usually those that have made a 
quick growth. Sown outdoors in early spring, reseedings are made at bi- 
weekly intervals until August, many gardeners making an additional sowing 
in September. The seed is covered lightly, being thinned to stand 1 to 2 
inches between plants. The best results will be obtained on a sandy loam 
soil amply supplied with well-rotted manure. This is an ideal vegetable to 
plant between rows of less rapid germinators, such as Parsnips. 
759 Early Scarlet Globe Pkt., 10c; 0z., 25c; % Ib.,-60c 
(25 days.) Our strain of Scarlet Globe is a perfect oval shape, very 
early sort. Is superior and valuable for out-of-door culture. The color 
is a bright vermilion-scarlet and flesh pure white, crisp and of fine flavor. 
742 Comet Pkt., 10c; 0z., 25c; % Ib., 70c 
(27 days.) All-America Selections. Comet has the same qualities as 
Scarlet Globe, somewhat round in shape. Grows to fair size with a short 
top. The Comet has wonderful, long-standing qualities before getting 
pithy. In keeping and eating qualities, it ranks as a leader and it will 
remain crisp and white when all other early Radishes get pithy. Color 
is bright scarlet, and tap roots are thin. We recommend every Radish 
grower to try this new strain. 
753 Icicle Pkt., 10c; 0z., 25c; % Ib., 70c 
(27 days.) The best white Radish. A highly superior strain of this pop- 
ular variety, the result of many years of rigid selection. Roots pure white 
with very slender tap root. Flesh very crisp and remains in good condi- 
tion very long. Our stock of Icicle is carefully bred and critically 
selected. Expert supervision is given to the crop. You may plant with 
absolute confidence.

(25 days.) The roots of this variety are round, smooth, dull scarlet- 
red, with the lower one-third of the root white. The flesh is mild, white, 
crisp and tender. A very attractive Radish bunched for market and when 
served on the table because of its two-color skin. 
762 White Strasburg Pkt., 10c; 0z., 20c; % 1b., 60c

tapered; smooth; white flesh, firm, crisp. 
760 Scarlet Globe Short Top Pkt., 10c; 0z., 25c; % Ib., 65c 
(23 days.) <A selection of Radish that is a considerable advancement. 
The roots are completely globe-shaped, with very fine tap root and re- 
markably quick in forming. The color is a uniform rich glowing scarlet. 
The foliage is small, and it is especially adapted for forcing as well as 
open ground planting. Remember, it is the first on the market.
