Cavalier. A new brilliant scarlet, olive- 
shaped Radish, very uniform in size and shape 
and growing more popular all the time. Quick 
growing and with short tops. Flesh solid, crisp, 
mild and pure white. The bulbs are olive in 
shape, very uniform and remain a long time 
before becoming pithy. Cavalier is a most re- 
liable Radish for the back yard garden, for 
growing commercially on the muck lands and 
for greenhouse forcing. Repeated tests have 
proved that the strain of seed we are growing 
is at least, equal to any in this country or in 
Europe. Pkqol 1Oc-" oz. 30c;-Va..lb. 85e

both lived up to the splendid reputation they 
have as tops in the garden varieties.
