Vick’s Early Scarlet Globe Radishes 
Cherry Belle. A new bright red, globe- 
shaped Radish with mild, crisp white flesh. 
Our trials in the greenhouse have shown it 
very satisfactory when forced. It has also done 
well out-of-doors in the gardens of several of 
our friends. It will not become pithy as soon 
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 in 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 garden as early as pos- 
sible in rows about 1 toot apart, covering 2 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. Brilliant scarlet, olive-shaped, very uniform in size and shape. 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 for the back yard garden, for growing commercially on the muck lands and for 
greenhouse forcing. Repeated tests have proved that the strain of seed we are growing is 
at least equal to any in this country or in Europe. Pkg. 10c; oz. 30c; %4 Ib. 75c 
Icicle. (Short-Top Strain.) A very attrac- 
tive pure white Radish, the earliest of the 
long, white summer sorts, distinct_in flavor, 
very mild and extremely tender. One of the 
most desirable varieties for outdoor summer 
Comet. An early kind, ready in 25 days. 
Round, solid, bright scarlet. This crisp, white, 
mild and tender Radish is unsurpassed as a 
home garden kind. Vick’s Scarlet Globe is the 
best olive-shaped variety; Comet the best 
round Radish. We had both Comet and Vick’s 
Early Scarlet Globe in our garden last season 
and both lived up to the splendid reputation 
planting for the home garden and market.

Vick’s Early Scarlet Globe. our strain of this Radish 
for the home and market garden is very fine. It is a strain 
we can recommend to both market and home garden growers, 
for it runs very uniform. Vick’s Scarlet Globe is the best all- 
around Radish on the market. Tops are medium long and 
very strong. Bulbs of our strain are uniformly true olive- 
shaped, rich scarlet; flesh pure white, crisp, tender, juicy, 
mild. Pkq: ‘T0c;.0z, 30¢; | Ibo 75¢ 
FALL and WINTER RADISHES 
These Radishes are not intended to be eaten like the spring 
sorts but should be sliced, salted down 15 minutes, drained, 
and then served without further dressing, when they are as 
tender as you could wish any Radish to be. Sow in May and 
then every 2 weeks. The October crop should be stored in sand 
for use in winter. 
California Mammoth White. Extra large, long roots; 
clear white flesh of excellent quality. Most mild of the winter 
kinds. Ready in 60 days. Pkg.) 15e7 02: °35c; 14. Ib. 95¢ 
Round Black Spanish. Good specimens are almost 
round and measure 3 to 4 inches through. Skin black: flesh 
white, solid and of fine flavor. Pkg. 15c; oz. 35c; 14 Ib. 95c 
SALSIFY - Vegetable Oyster 
One of the most desirable winter vegetables. The roots, 
when cooked, have a flavor similar to oysters, are very palat- 
able and nutritious, and are served in a variety of ways. 
Salisfy 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, smooth, white, tapering roots, and is less liable to 
branch than the other sorts. The tops are grassy. It is valuable for 
market gardeners’ use. Pkgs 1567814 023) 30c; 10z. 553914 ibe $1.65 
PUMPKINS

Sugar or New England Pie. This is the best strain of this 
popular pie Pumpkin we have ever seen. The fruit is rather small, uni- 
formly round and the flesh very thick and very sweet, and finely fla- 
vored. Skin is smooth, clear light yellow, and the fruit early and 
abundant. Pkg. 15c; oz. 30c; %4 Ib. 85c 
Connecticut Field. somet'mes called “Big Tom.” This is the 
very large kind that is used for feeding cattle. It’s too coarse for nies

oval Pumpkins, golden russet in color, with fine nettings. Flesh is 
golden yellow, very thick and of the finest quality. Grows about twice
