Burpee’s Earliest RADISH 

Burpee White — Outstanding for flavor 
888 Burpee White © — Distinctive 
25 days. Exceptional tenderness, mild flavor, crispiness, and 
remaining long in edible condition, are most outstanding 
qualities of this white radish introduced by us in 1947. 
Burpee White Radishes, when young, are nearly round, 
juicy and sweet with pure white skin and flesh: Roots be- 
come flattened in shape as they grow, the diameter in- 
creasing with age. Best eating stage is when they measure 
34 to 1 in. across. Grown from spring sown seed, they are 
still crisp, mild and tender when 2 in. in diameter.

890 Comet ©) — Long standing 
25 days. Bred to meet the increasing demand for 
an early radish that has the same good qualities as 
Vick’s Scarlet Globe, but with a rounded instead 
of an olive-shaped root. Comet fills the bill; rad- 
ishes are round, with an occasional olive-shaped, 
small tap-root; bright scarlet skin and tender 
white flesh which remains crisp and solid for a 
long time. Ideal for home and market gardens, 
both for field culture and greenhouse forcing. Eat- 
ing and keeping qualities are surpassed by none.

unusually brittle and delicious quality make it most desirable for home

make it a ready seller. Retains its fresh appearance for a long time.

23 days. A radish everyone should plant; it is early, of fine 
quality, refined, smooth, attractive in appearance and pun- 
gent in flavor. Small, bright red and as round as marbles, 
34 {n. in diameter, with thin, bright red skin. The flesh is pure 
white, crisp, and delightfully snappy. Tops are short, making 
it desirable for growing under glass. The quicker they are 
grown, indoors or out, the crispier their flesh and the more 
delectable their flavor. Invaluable for home and market.

886 Crimson Giant Globe . 
29 days. Differs from most others as the roots attain a large 
size without becoming hollow or pithy. The shape is a perfect 
globe, 12 in. in diameter, with thin, tender skin of deep 
crimson and solid white flesh which is firm, crisp and mild in 
flavor. Remains edible for a long time; in fact it performs 
better than others under high temperature conditions. Sow 
seed thinly to permit full development of the roots, and for 
the biggest radishes see that the soil is moderately moist, 
fertile and deeply prepared. Thin to a wider spacing than 
smaller varieties; we suggest leaving 114 to 2 in. between 
plants in the row for full development of large roots.

agreeable snappy flavor. A very attractive radish for bunch- 
ing or market; an excellent variety for the home garden, 
greenhouse and spring frame forcing. Fine contrast to the all- 
red varieties when displayed on market or roadside stands.
