RADDISH. Ger. Rettig.
One ounce will sow about 100 feet of drill.
Radish seed should be sown in light, rich soil as early as the ground can be worked, and for a succession, at intervals of two weeks until mid-summer. Radishes must be grown quickly, and have plenty of room, or they will invariably be tough and pithy. Sow in drills one foot apart and thin to one or three inches apart as soon as the rough leaves appear. Most of our Radish seed was grown for us in France, the natural home of Radishes," and we think it cannot be surpassed.
VICK’S EARLY SCARLET GLOBE—A most excellent early Radish for garden culture, and for hot-bed forcing there is no variety so desirable as the Early Scarlet Globe. It is the earliest; its color is the handsomest; in flavor it is the mildest, most crisp, juicy and tender. It is the market gardener’s favorite as a forcing Radish. It forms small top, and will stand a great amount of heat without becoming pithy. Its fine shape, well illustrated by the accompanying engraving, makes it sell for a higher price and more rapidly than any other shaped sort. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c ¼ lb. 35c, lb. $1.00.
FRENCH BREAKFAST—A handsome table variety, of medium size, quick growth and fine quality. It is oval shaped, scarlet tipped with white. very crisp and tender. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, ¼ lb. 20c, lb. 60c.
WOOD’S EARLY FRAME—About ten days earlier than Long Scarlet, which it very much resembles, although not quite so long. Per. pkt. 5c, oz. 10c. ¼ lb. 20c, lb. 65c.
WHITE LADY FINGER—An improvement on the White Naples, or Vienna. It is a large, white, crisp variety, about as long as Long Scarlet, and similar in shape. A very desirable sort; decidedly the best of its kind ever introduced. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, ¼ lb. 25c. lb. 90c.
IOWA SEED COMPANY’S PERPETUAL WHITE SUMMER—This variety, introduced by us, has given splendid satisfaction to all who tried it. Their shape is well illustrated by the accompanying engraving. They are pure white, of uniformly good quality, crisp and brittle, and they keep longer in a fit condition for the table than any variety we know of, hence their name, Perpetual White Summer. Can be sown any time of the year and will always produce good Radishes fit for market earlier than the Chartier, and keep in perfect shape for marketing for about four weeks or longer than that for home use. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, ¼ lb. 35c, lb. $1.00.
BECKERT’S IMPROVED CHARTIER—Decidedly distinct in appearance from any Radish in cultivation. In form is well defined by our engraving, the color at the top being crimson, running into pink about the middle, and from thence downward it is a pure waxy white. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, ¼ lb. 20c, lb. 60c.
EARLY LONG SCARLET SHORT TOP—Very popular variety with gardeners and for family use. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, ¼ lb. 20c, lb. 60c.
EARLY MIXED—A mixture of all the early varieties. This will certainly take well for the family garden, as in it there is an assortment of all the best early sorts, and they will make a handsome show on the table. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, ¼ lb. 30c, lb. 90c.
NEW ROSY GEM—This wonderful new Radish is an improvement on the Scarlet Turnip White Tip and has won golden opinions in all sections of the country. Their shape is perfectly globular, with rich deep scarlet top, blending into pure white at the bottom, exceedingly tender, crisp and delicious, equally desirable for either the market or home garden, and should be planted by everybody. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, ¼ lb. 30c, lb. $1.00.
MODEL WHITE BOX—A great improvement on the Philadelphia White Box which has been popular for several years. It is of most handsome shape as shown by our illustration. It is very early and has but few leaves, thus making it of special value for growing in hot-beds or “boxes” and one third more radishes can be grown in same space than with most other sorts. It is of clear white color, solid juicy and unsurpassed in flavor. In all respects a model radish for early use. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 15c, ¼ lb. 35c, lb. $1.25.
EARLY SCARLET TURNIP—Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, ¼ lb. 20c, lb[.], 50c.
