MAULE’s IMPROVED Lona Scartet SHORT Top RADISH. 
Maule’s Improved 
Long Scarlet Short Top. 
The only objection to this radish is its name, 
which is too long, but is very descriptive. In 
it we have, without exception, the very finest 
long brittle, brightest scarlet radish I am ac- 
quainted with. My seed has for years been 
grown for me by the same French grower, who 
has bred it up until now it is Simply the 
perfection of a long red radish, and much 
better than the ordinary strain offered. _ It 
matures beautiful radishes, which are always 
brittle and sweet, 25 to 30 days from the sowing 
of the seed. Size and shape well shown in 
illustration herewith. It is undoubtedly the 
Standard long red variety for either the mar- 
ket or home gardener. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10

MAULE’S EARLIEST SCARLET. — If 
you wish to have the finest and first red 
| radishes sow Maule’s Earliest Scarlet. It is 
crisp and brittle. Theskin is of a rich, scarlet 
color, while the flesh is pure white, and always

to forcing under glass. In favorable weather 
and in good soil it will mature in 18 to 20 days

your garden seeds for 20 years, and they have always 
done well and proved true to name. 
| Mrs. W. Jeffrey, Lander, Wyo.—I have used your 
seeds for 16 years, and think they are the best in the 
| United States. 
Mary D. Thompson, Charmion, Pa.—Your seeds are 
all right, and with The Practical Farmer ought to 
enable any one to have a lovely garden. 
E. B. Head, West Hickory, Pa.—Maule’s Seeds can-

NEW ICICLE RADISH, 
NEW RADISH. 
ICICLE. 
Long, White, Extremely Early. 
Excellent and profitable; a new and distinct 
sort. Ready for use as soon as Maule’s Long 
Scarlet Short Top, but has fewer leaves and is 
even better for forcing. Admirable alike for 
| open air and under glass. 
The Icicle radish is perfectly white in color, 
and long, slender and tapering in shape. It 
quickly grows to market size, is crisp and 
brittle, and of mild, sweet flavor. It remains 
tender during the entire growing period, and is 
quite as good when an inch in diameter as 
when only half an inch. 
A fine variety for market and private gar- 
deners, who have a demand for an early, long, 
white radish. It was a marvel of excellence at 
Briar Crest and Panmure, and will certainly 
become popular. Pkt., 10 cts.5; OZ, 15 cts.s5
