RADISHES 
One package of seed will sow 20 feet of row; 1 ounce 75 feet. 
This is another vegetable that loses about half its flavor if not eaten within a very short time after 
it is taken from the ground. Radishes wilt like flowers and many other vegetables and lose their fresh 
crispness and juicy delicate flavor. You cannot know how really good Radishes are if you haven’t gone 
out in the garden in the early morning and pulled a few for your breakfast. 
For forcing sow is hotbed or under glass in rich, sandy loam, Scatter 50 to 100 seeds to the foot, and 
cover with one-fourth inch of soil sifted on. Sow in gardan as early as possible in rows about 1 foot 
apart, covering > inch deep, and thin to prevent crowding. A good dressing of nitrate of soda will 
greatly help their growth and make them tender and crisp. Successive sowings every week or ten days 
will keep your table well supplied the entire season. 
Cavalier. A new brilliant scarlet, olive-shaped 
Radish, very uniform in size and shape, and grow- 
ing 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 reliable Radish fér the back 
yard garden, for growing commercialy on the muck 
lands and for greenhouse forcing. Repeated tests 
have proved that the strain of seed we are grow- 
ing is at least equal to any in this country or in 
Europe. PkgmllOc-cozs 2Zoc; 4 Ib. Oe

Radish with mild, crisp white flesh. Our trials in

become pithy as soon as many other kinds.

SALSIFY - Vegetable Oyster 
One of the most desirable winter vegetables. The roots, when cooked, have a 
flavor similar to oysters, are very palatable and nutritious, and are served in a 
variety of ways. Salsify succeeds best in a light, well-enriched soil. Sow early and 
quite deep, giving the general culture recommended for Parsnips. While the roots 
are hardy and may remain out-of-doors all winter, they are more accessible when 
dug in the fall and stored in moist sand in a cool cellar or in a root house. 
A package of seed sows a 20-foot row; 1 ounce 75 feet. 
Mammoth Sandwich Island. This variety is large and strong growing, with long,

JAMES VICK SAID IN HIS SEED CATALOG IN 1861 : 
"Salsify is delicious cut into small pieces and made into soup; tastes like 
oysters. It is also par-boiled, grated fine, made into small balls, dipped into 
batter and fried; also cooked whole as Parsnips.”’
