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. 25c; 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, crisp, 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; oz. 10c; 1/4 lb. 30c; lb. $1.00.

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

ICICLE.--A splendid long variety of almost transparent whiteness. Produces nice roots in twenty-two days from the date of sowing, and it continues in prime condition for a long period, so that in one sowing of seed, nice crisp radishes may be had from spring until mid-summer. 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. 25c; lb. 85c.

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 few leaves, thus making it of special value for growing in hotbeds and boxes, 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. 25c; lb. 75c.

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. 10c; 1/4 lb. 30c; lb. $1.00.

SAKURIJIMA.--This is a giant variety of radish from Japan. It has been grown to the enormous dimensions of 43 inches in circumference. Flesh is solid, firm and brittle, and of excellent flavor. Will grow and thrive in any ordinary garden soil. This is a real "novelty" to most Americans and it will hardly be recognized as a radish from its appearance when full grown. Try it and you will be surprised at the real value of this monstrous variety. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 1/4 lb. 75c; lb. $2.50.

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 as they mature are pulled, make room for the larger growth of the fall and winter varieties. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 1/4 lb. 20c; lb. 65c.

WINTER RADISH

LONG BLACK SPANISH.--A large, black-skinned radish, with firm white flesh of pungent flavor. A good keeper, lasting until spring. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 1/4 lb. 20c; lb. 60c.

CHINA ROSE WINTER.--Bright rose colored variety. The most popular of the winter radishes because of its bright color, firm flesh and long keeping qualities. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 25c, lb. 75c.
