IOWA SEED COMPANY, DES MOINES, IOWA.

RADISH == Continued

EARLY SCARLET GLOBE. - The most
popular variety for hotbeds and forcing,
as it is the earliest of all. Of handsome
color, crisp, juicy and tender. It forms a
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 readily than any other
sort. Pkt, 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 30c, lb. 85c.

STRIPED TRIUMPH.- A beautiful new
variety and is a decided novelty. It is of
the shape shown in our illustration, with
white skin striped bright scarlet, being
decidedly ornamental when placed on the
table. It is very early and has a very
small top, thus adapting it to cultivation
in hotbeds. The flesh is white, crips, tender
and as good flavor as any radish grown.
It being a sport, some of the roots are always
of solid color, not variegated, but
they are always of fine quality, regardless
of color. Pkt. 5c, 0z. 15c, 1/4 lb. 40c, lb. $1.25.

WHITE LADY FINGER.- Large, white,
crisp variety, about as long as Long Scarlet;
similiar shape. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb.
20c, lb. 60c.

ICICLE.- A splendid long variety of almost
transarent whiteness. Produces nice
roots in twenty-two days from the date of
sowing, and it contimes in prime condition
for a long period, so that in one sowing of
seed, nice, crisp radishes may be had from spring
until midsummer. It is much the most popular
sort in the entire list. There is no variety that
grows more uniform in type and there are none
that surpass it in quality. We recommend it as
the very best second early radish. Pkt. 5c, oz.
10c, 1/4 lb. 30c, lb. $1.00.

WHITE STRASBURG.- Of handsome, oblong,
tapering shape, both skin and flesh being pure
white. The flesh is firm, brittle and tender and retains its crispness even if old
and large. Excellent for summer use. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 25c, lb. 75c.

MODEL WHITE BOX.- Of handsome shape, very early and has but a few leaves,
thus making it of special value for growing in hotbeds and bozes, and one-third
more radishes can be grown in the same space than with most other varieties. Of
clear white color, solid, juicy and unsurpassed in flavor. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb.
30c, lb. 85c.

GOLDEN DRESDEN.- A little beauty with golden brown skin,
white flesh, crisp, juicy and of finest flavor. One of the quickest
growing sorts; tops small, admitting of close planting. Pkt. 5c,
oz. 15c, 1/4 lb. 40c, lb. $1.25.

GRAY LARK.- A unique variety from Spain. Is really an all
seasons radish, making nice shaped little roots very early and
they keep on growing larger and hold their quality until late in
the fall. Crisp, brittle and of excellent flavor. Color grayish
brown spotted or diversified. Pkt. 5c, oz. 15c, 1/4 lb. 40c.

IOWA SEED CO'S MIXTURE.- A superb mixture of all kinds
of radishes- early, medium, fall, winter, Chinese, etc. Sow a row
of it and it will furnish you delicious radishes throughout the
year. The early and medium ones

room for the larger growth of the
fall and winter varieties. Pkt. 5c,
oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 25c, lb. 75c.
