Most of our radish seed was grown for us in France, "the natu- ral home of radishes" and we think it cannot be surpassed. There is a short crop of many varieties of radish this year. VICK'S EARLY SCARLET GLOBE—A most excellent early radish for garden culture, aud for hotbed forcing there is no variety so desir- able as the Early Scarlet Globe. It is the earliest; its color is the handsomest; in flavor it is the mildest, most erisp, juicy and tender. It is the market gardener's favorite as a forcing radish. It forms 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 rapidly than any other shaped sort. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 10c J4 lb. 20c, lb. 65c. NON PLUS ULTRA.—An improvement on the Deep Scarlet Turnip. Remarkably fine in quality and of very quick growth, and ready to pull within twenty days after sowing. Perfectly globular little roots, of very bright color and excellent shape; certain to insure ready sale on the market. It is by far the best strain of early radishes for forcing. Beds are planted, the crop matured and sold, and the same bed ready for a second planting all in thirty days. Pkt. 5c. oz. 10c, J4 lb. 25c, lb. 70c.
