RADISH. 



In brisk demand In the markets at all seasons of the year, especially in winter and spring. Pods sometimes pickled. 

 Culture.— Sow in soil well enriched with rotted manure. Quality depends on quickness of growth. The proper tempera 



ture is 40° to 05°. Good ventilation is necessary if grown under glass. The seed should be sown shallow; 1 ounce to 100 feet of 

 drill, or 8 to 10 pounds per acre. Thin to 1 inch apart for small varieties and 3 or 4 inches for the large varieties. Radishes will mature in from 

 S to 5 weeks. They mature most rapidly when standing well apart. 





MAUL.E'S EARLIEST SCARLET People 



who desire to have the finest and hrst led lad- 

 ishes should sow Maule's Earliest Scarlet. It is 

 crisp and brittle. The skin is of a rich, scarlet 

 color, while the flesh is pure white, and always 

 tender, mild and sweet. It has a small, short 

 top, and is well adapted to open air culture or 

 to forcing under glass. In favorable weather 

 and in good soil it will mature in 18 to 20 days 

 from the sowing of the seed. It is extensively 

 used by market gardeners and truckers, who 

 hold it in high esteem. It is good, quick and 

 profitable. Its globular shape and attractive 

 proportions are well shown in tbe engraving 

 above and I do not think it can be surpassed.

MAULE'S EARLIEST "WHITE V splen- 

 did, ne«, olue shaped iadit.h, puie white in 

 color, which I lately secured in France from a 

 prominent grower. It has proved to be as well 

 suited to America as to Europe, and is now 

 widely popular here. It is distinctly earlier 

 than any other radish grown, of any color, as 

 will be understood when I say that good sized 

 radishes may be pulled in 12 to 15 days from 

 the sowing of the seed. It has a small top, is 

 solid and crisp, of good flavor, and first-class in 

 every respect. Its size and shape are accur- 

 ately shown in the illustration. The supply of 

 this seed is limited, as the demand is great. 

 Consequentlv, I would suggest early orders.

IVE'W RUBY PEARL. — The Illustration

 tions of this attractive new radish. The color is 

 scarlet and white, as indicated by its pleasing 

 name. It is extremelj' quick to mature, being 

 ready for the table in 17 to 20 days from the 

 time of sowing the seed. It is invaluable for 

 forcing under glass, as well as for growth In the 

 open air. The skin is very smooth, and its 

 clear colors give it an appetizing- appearance 

 on the table. Its fiavor is excellent, and its 

 qualities high in all respects. Market garden- 

 ers find it a quick selling sort at good prices, 

 always above ordinary sorts, and it is no less 

 sjitisfactory in the private or home gardens.
