Burpee’s Earliest RADISHES 
sss Burpee White © 
25 days. Exceptional tenderness, mild flavor, crispiness, and remaining 
long in edible condition, are most outstanding qualities of this white 
radish. Burpee White Radishes, when young, are nearly round, juicy and sweet with pure white skin and flesh. 
Roots become flattened in shape as they grow, the diameter increasing 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. Superior in respect to available nutrients and low fiber content. 

Burpee White—Outstanding for flavor 
890 Comet © —Scarlet; All-America Winner 
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; radishes 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. Eating and keeping qualities are surpassed by none.

ss6 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, 1% 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 condi- 
tions. 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 sug- 
gest leaving 1% to 2 in. between plants in the row for full development.

895 Cavalier—Long standing; bright scarlet 
25 days. Roots are highly colored, oblong-globe shape, bright scarlet; 
firm, white flesh. The short tops make it especially suitable for growing 
on muck land as well as upland soil. Our strain of this important variety 
has been rigidly reselected and represents an elite stock suitable for use 
by the most critical home and market trade. Fine for forcing in frame 
or greenhouse. Holds its firmness for a long time. Superior quality.

878 Burpee’s Rapid Red © 
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 in. in diameter, with thin, bright red skin. 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.

tapering, 5 to 6in. inlength and 5¢ in. thick at shoulder. Skin 
is an attractive bright scarlet-red; the tender flesh is icy white, 
crisp and of the finest flavor, somewhat more pungent than 
Icicle. Grow partly above ground, which makes pulling easy. 
Recommended for home and market gardeners desiring a long 
red radish with small tops. Ours is a carefully selected strain.
