Radishes—Giant Crimsom A Grand Early Large Crop Variety Crimson Giant is radically different from and a great im- provement over all the radishes previously on the marker. It is as early as any and has the great advantage of retain- ing its firmness and crispness for a long period after at- taining its maturity. It grows to twice the size of any other turnip-rooted radish, and, unlike other varieties, the larger it gets the better it seems to be. It varies some- what in size, shape and color, but can always be depended upon for being deliciously crisp, tender and solid. For the past two years we have grown this variety at our trial ground at Brighton Beach, and every one who has tried it expresses unbounded satisfaction. You cannot do stter than to sow the Crimson Giant several times next season at intervals of about three weeks, so as to have a con- tinual supply during the spring and early summer. See that you get the true Crimson Giant. Sold by us only in sealed packages. None other is genuine.
