Burpee White—Outstanding for flavor 
6096 Burpee White © — Best flavor 
25 days. Intreduced by Burpee in 1947. Exceptional 
tenderness, mild flavor, crispness, and remaining long in 
edible condition, are most outstanding qualities of Burpee 
White Radish. When young, roots are nearly round, juicy 
and sweet with pure white skin and flesh. They become 
flattened in shape as they grow, the diameter increasing 
with age. At their best eating stage when 34 to 1 in. across. 
Grown from spring-sown seed, they are crisp, mild and 
tender even if allowed to grow 2 in. across. Superior in 
respect to available nutrients and low fiber content.

Earliest Scarlet Button © 
25 days. Introduced by Burpee in 1887. Perfectly 
round, bright scarlet radish, about 1 in. in diameter 
with bright scarlet, thin, tender skin and icy white 
flesh which is crisp and juicy. It has a mild, delicate 
flavor. Earliness, bright scarlet color, unusually brittle 
and delicious quality make it most desirable for home 
gardeners as well as the larger growers; small tops are 
just right for bunching. Retains its fresh appearance 
for quite a long time, and very slow to get pithy.

white, crisp, and delightfully snappy. Tops are short, 
making it desirable for growing under glass. The 
quicker they are grown, indoors or out, the crisper 
their flesh and the more delectable their flavor. A 
highly colored radish for home and market.

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.
