Radis (Fr.) Rettig (Ger.) RabaniTo (Sp.) Culture.—Sow broadcast in rich and mellow soil or among other vegetables where they will ripen soon and can be removed to give growing room. The red varieties may be sown every month of the year, but during the summer months they require frequent waterings. The yellow and white radishes (are the best for summer sowing, while the black Spanish should be sown in October and November. White Tipped Scarlet Turnip. This is an early variety of medium size, of excellent flavor, and of very handsome appearance. Color, deep scarlet tipped with white. A great favorite in the Chicago market. Pkt. 5c; oz 10c; % lb. 15c; lb. 40c. Scarlet Globe. This variety is one of the finest for forcing and market gardening purposes. The shape is roundish oval; skin brilliant red, flesh white, solid, crisp, and very mild. Tops are very small. Pkt. 5c; oz. ioc; % lb. 20c; lb. 60c. Philadelphia White Box. Its points of superiority are short top, rapid growth, perfect turnip shape, extra fine quality, and showing but little disposition to become pithy; especially fitted for growing under glass, in frames, or "boxes," hence its name. Owing to its very few leaves it can be sown thickly. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10.; i lb. 20c; lb. 65c. Chartier Radish. A handsome new variety of great merits. It grows to a good size without getting pithy, and gives good results as an early summer radish. The color at the top is a deep crimson, running into pink about the middle, and from thence downward into a waxy white. A very pretty and distinct vari- ity. Oz. ioc; i lb. 20c; lb. 50c, postpaid. Earliest Carmine Olive, A new distinct and beauti- ful variety of great forcing value. The roots are crisp and tender, much larger than those of the turnip sorts, while the tops are far smaller. A most valuable variety for the enterprising market gardener. Pkt. 5c; oz ioc; i lb 20c, 1 lb 65c, postpaid. Woods Early Frame, Very fine sort for forcing. Similar to Long Scarlet, but about half the length and 10 days earlier. Pkt 5c, oz ioc, £ lb 20c, lb 60c, postpaid.
