proved. The best greenhouse variety and the earliest of the 
Scarlet Globe type, but superior in every way for green- 
house forcing. When properly grown it is the most handsome 
and best forcing sort with the shortest top and the Radishes 
are ready to pull before you realize it on this account. A 
scarlet globe variety with a short top. 
The Grand Rapids Forcing Varieties are nationally 
known. Turn to the others: Lettuce is described on page 
16; Tomatoes on page 29. 
Radishes prefer a deep, rich, sandy soil and an application 
of a well balanced fertilizer. 
Due to present rates of postage and pending changes, 
please bear in mind that anything that is quoted “Not Post- 
paid” means the postage will be extra and in the case of 
10 Ibs. of Radish, the mailing weight would be at least 12 or 
13 lbs. on which the rates in force at time of ordering would 
prevail. Additional money must be included with the order 
for the postage, however, if it is not enough to cover the 
postage due, we will weigh the seeds to cover the funds re- 
ceived. Any extra money that is sent, and not needed, will 
be refunded immediately when your order is filled. 
¥W EARLY SCARLET GLOBE. 20 days. We have an excep- 
tionally fine stock of this grand variety, which has been 
tested by having crops grown both in greenhouses and out- 
doors. Our new stock will not be sold until it is tested. It 
is one of the earliest forcing Radishes, and does equally as 
well for outdoor culture. Roots are globe-shaped, of fair size, 
not apt to be pithy, small tops, crisp and tender, color 
bright scarlet. A scarlet globe variety with a medium top.
