Burpee White—Outstanding for flavor 
s88 Burpee White © — Distinctive 
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 crisp, mild and tender when 2 in. across. 
Superior for available nutrients and low fiber content.

s90 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 radishes 
are round, with an occasional olive-shaped, average 1 in. across; 
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 keep- 
ing qualities are surpassed by none. Tops are short. ;

ss¢ Crimson Giant Globe — Biz, round 
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 crim- 
son 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 conditions. Sow seed thinly to 
permit full development of the roots, and for the biggest rad- 
ishes see that the soil is moderately moist, fertile and deeply 
prepared. Thin to a wider’ spacing than smaller varieties; we 
suggest leaving 1 to 2 in. between the plants in the row.

How to Grow Radishes 
Sow the seed of the earliest and midseason radishes 
as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, in 
rows 12 to 18 in. apart, covering 1% in. deep. Thin to 
stand 1 to 2 in. apart in the row. Make additional ° 
plantings when the preceding planting is up and well 
started; these may be made until early summer, then 
resume one month before frost. Seed of winter rad- 
ishes is sown in the summer for fall and winter use. A 
moderately light soil produces the smoothest and best 
roots. A pkt. will sow about 20 ft. of row; 1 oz. 100 ft. 
When sowing beets, carrots, parsley and parsnips, 
mix in a few radish seeds to mark the rows where the 
slower-growing vegetables were sown.
