ROYAL QUALITY SEEDS 


light green stripes, flesh is yellow with a 
delightful sweet potato flavor.

RADISH 
CULTURE—Sow seed as early in spring as 
the ground can be worked, % inch deep, in 
rows 12 to 18 inches apart. Seed should be 
sown thinly, and if plants come up closer than 
1 inch, they must be thinned out. Sow at in- 
tervals for succession until about the middle 
of May when the long sorts should be sown; 
about July 1, the winter varieties. One ounce 
will sow 100 feet of drill; 8 to 10 pounds per 
acre. 
ROUND VARIETIES 
CRIMSON GIANT, 30 Days—tThis variety 
grows twice the size of the other round sorts, 
1 to 1% inches in diameter. The flesh is 
crisp and mild, as of the smaller sorts. Re- 
mains edible a long time. 
EARLY SCARLET TURNIP—An old sort, 
well known, round, crisp and brittle. The skin 
is of a rich, scarlet color, while the flesh is 
pure white, and always tender, mild and 
sweet. It has a small, short top, and is well 
adapted to open air culture or to forcing 
under glass. In favorable weather and in 
good soil it will mature in 25 days from the 
sowing of the seed. It is extensively used by 
market gardeners. 
EARLY SCARLET GLOBE, 28 Days—The 
roots of this variety are slightly olive-shaped, 
a rich bright scarlet in color; flesh white and 
tender. We especially recommend this to gar- 
deners as a large, first early forcing radish. 
It is also very desirable for first early plant- 
ing outdoors. 
FRENCH BREAKFAST, 25 Days—French 
Breakfast is a beautiful radish of true ob- 
long or olive shape. The color of the skin is 
bright carmine, shading to clear white in the 
lower portion. The flesh is white, firm, and 
crisp; juicy, mildly pungent, and tender. It 
is well adapted for forcing in the greenhouse 
and hot-bed. Matures quickly outdoors. 
SCARLET TURNIP WHITE TIPPED, 25 
Days—The upper part of the radish is a crim- 
son red and the lower part a snowy white. 
They not only make an attractive appearance 
bunched but are as good as they look. 
SPARKLER WHITE TIPPED, 28 Days— 
Much the same as the Scarlet Turnip White 
Tipped except that the white area is more 
pronounced. Tops are small and the roots 
almost globe-shaped, with bright scarlet color 
and a pronounced white tip. The quality is 
excellent and is recommended for both home 
and market garden.
