Scarlet Globe 
Radishes 
RADISHES 
Cherry Belle. A new, very short-topped, early Radish which holds much promise 
for forcing and Iate spring muck crops. The scarlet globes are crisp and solid. 
Scarlet Elite. If you are looking for a deluxe short-top strain for greenhouse or out- 
door summer planting be sure to try Scarlet Elite. It has beautiful deep scarlet, 
round-globe, uniform roots, very solid and crisp with real short tops. 
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 se’ected strain 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 tapering down from the 
shoulder which ts 5ginch m 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. Matures in 27 days.
