RADISHES 
Cherry Belle. Very short-topped, uniformly deep scarlet, round roots with fine 
tap-roots and crisp, mild flesh. Highly recommended for greenhouse forcing, for 
frames, and also very fine as a summer crop on irrigated upland and muck. It has 
not proven good for outdoor crops in early spring or late fall, as the tops are 
too short when grown in cool temperatures. Stands well without growing pithy. 
Comet. This is particularly suited for outdoor summer crops as It remains crisp 
and hard for a long while. The Radishes are large with small tap-roots, uniformly 
round and have a clean scarlet color. The white flesh is crisp and of fine flavor. 
The main advantages of Comet are its larger size and in warm weather it will 
remain hard and crisp long after other varieties have become soft and pithy. 
Scarlet Globe. This really fine outdoor strain excels others because it is produced 
from transplanted roots selected for uniformity. The brilliant scarlet, smooth 
roots have tops just right for bunching. In about 3 weeks you’ll have attractive, 
solid, crisp, uniform roots that will catch any buyer’s eye. 
Scarlet Globe, Short-Top XXX Strain. This very excellent strain meets the par- 
ticular requirements of the most critical greenhouse and muck-soil growers. It is 
produced from carefully selected, transplanted roots and, in the opinion of the 
most experienced large growers, is close to perfection. The brilliant scarlet, clean 
Radishes are very crisp and solid, and extremely uniform in size and shape. Tops 
are ideal. Matures 4 days before other strains, even outdoors. 
Icicle. Attractive waxy white, long roots, gradually tapering down from the 
shoulder which is $ inch in diameter. The roots are usually 5 to 6 inches long and 
have nice bunching tops. This is the earliest of the long-rooted early summer 
white sorts. Our strain excels all others we have observed. The crisp-as-ice roots 
are remarkably uniform and perfectly shaped. Matures in 27 days.
