HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR
^=STKAINS OF:
RADISHES
THE BEST VARIETIES FOR
MAKKET GARDENERS.
EARLY ROUND DARK RED. The finest type of the Early
Scarlet turnip-shaped class, producing handsome, ball-shaped
Radishes of medium size, ready for use in about 20 days from
sowing; surface smooth and of rich, dark red; flesh white as
snow, crisp and of mild flavor. It remains fit to use for a
considerable time. (See cut.) Price, 10c. oz., 20c. i lb., 60c. lb.
(26 lbs. and over at 46c. lb.).
" Your Early Round Red Radish is the best of the Turnip Radishes we have
ever grown. Thty were several days ahead of the cracked-up Philadelphia Rad-
ahet besides, yours were sound and free from pithiness."
ABRAM HOUSER, Rahway. N. J.
EARLY SCARLET GLOBE. This is the most popular forcing
Radish on the market to-day. It is grown very largely in the
Eastern States to supply the enormous demand in New York,
Boston and other eastern markets, where its brilliant color and
attractive shape have secured for it a prominent place. It
matures in 21 days, and has a very small top. No variety looks
better in the bunch, none holds the color longer, or remains
firmer after pulling. Our stock is not equalled by any to-day,
and is selected specially for the most critical trade, some growers
buying as much as 500 lbs. annually for forcing purposes.
Price, 10c. oz., 20c. i lb., 60c. lb. (26 lbs. and over at 45c. lb.).
! "Your Scarlet Globe Radish matures 10 days ahead of Cardinal Globe, the
supposedly crack variety of Philadelphia."
WM. H. ASH. South Vineland. N. J.
, RED FORCING. This is one of the best of the small, round
red forcing varieties. It is very finely bred throughout, the
sops are very small, the flesh is white, exceedingly tender, crisp
and of mild flavor. The outer color, a very vivid red, is very
attractive and presents a fine appearance when bunched. It can
be easily marketed in 21 days from sowing. Price, 10c. oz.,
26c. i lb., 70c. lb.
EARLY CRIMSON GIANT. A new Early Turnip Radish
larger in size than any of the early turnip-shaped type. This
variety develops to 6 and often 7 inches in circumference,
weighing up to one ounce; but notwithstanding its size, it
does not get hollow or pithy, the flesh remaining sparklingly
white, solid, crisp and juicy, and of the mildest flavor. The
shape of the root varies between round and almost oval, but
the bright, deep crimson color of the skin remains quite con-
stant. Excellent both for forcing and open-ground culture.
Price, 10c. oz., 25c. \ lb., 70c. lb.
WHITE-TIPPED EARLY SCARLET TURNIP. A superior
strain of this variety, so popular both for outdoor culture and
growing in frames; of medium size; shape very uniform and
round; color, bright scarlet, with a distinct white tip, contrast-
ing vividly and making it very attractive; mild, crisp, white
flesh; matures in 25 days. (See cut.) Price, 10c. oz., 20c. i lb.,
50c. lb. (26 lbs. and over at 46c. lb.).
RAPID FORCING. A fine variety. It resembles the White
Tipped Scarlet Turnip, but is a little smaller, though earlier,
coming to maturity in 22 days from time of sowing, and having
very small tops, will prove to be the radish for forcing purposes.
Price, 10c. oz., 25c. i lb., 70c. lb.
" / want to say the Radish Seed I brought from you in December proved to b*.
the purest and best forcing Radish I ever had. PUase send me 10 lbs. more of
the same." L. H. REAMS, Council Bluffs, Iowa.
FRENCH BREAKFAST. A select strain of this ever-popular
Radish, being of unusually quick growth, about 2 inches long
and 1 inch in diameter, or nearly oval; of uniform and perfect
mould ; surface smooth and of bright scarlet with white base and
tip; flesh white and unusually tender and mild. A favorite for
either open ground or forcing. Price, 10c. oz., 20c. J lb., 60c. lb.
