THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1907 



RADISH. 



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



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

 ture is 40° to 65°. Good ventilation is necessary If grown under glass. The seed should be sown shallow; 1 ounce to ICO 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 



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



V: 



This mgh-bred white radish, which I introduced to the public a number 

 of years ago, was brought to America in 1834 by a German gardener. It 

 13 now most widely known under the name of 1834. It is of a beautiful ivorv 

 color, and of crisp, brittle texture. That it has been in favor for two-third^ 

 of a century is proof of its extra good quality, and I wish to say that nn 

 seed has always been from one and the same grower, and still maintain^ 

 Its original excellence. The shape Is shown in the illustration. It i'~ 

 truly a radish of fixed habit, with an unusually long and well-known 

 pedigree. It Is solid in character, and conspicuously uniform in growth 

 and size. Adapted to every season; to forcing as well as to open air 

 'culture. Packet/ 10 cts.; oz.,1.5 cts.: '4 lb., 40 cts.; lb., S1.25.

NEW LEAFLESS RADISH. 



THE 1834 OR ALL YEAR ROUND RADISH. 

 {Grows as uniform in shape and size as peas in apod.) 



THE IjEAFLESS RADISH.— The color of this valuable new radish 

 s a very bright scarlet. "Flesh white, crisp and tender, and of best 

 flavor. The shape of the radish Is shown in the illustration; also the 

 comparatively small size of the leaves. It is a decided acquisition to 

 the garden and table. It matures quickly. It is almost literally what 

 its name implies, a radish without leaves, for nearly the whole strength 

 of the plant is thrown into the root, surpassing any other variety of 

 radish in this respect. My stock is grown to order in France. The New 

 Lealless is a shy seeder, and the crop the past season was again very 

 short, and I can only ofTer It in packets. Packet, 10 cts. ; 3 pkts. , 25 cts. 



V«ew 



ED DELICIOUS.— This 



ew radish is of a bright 



carmine red color, inclining 



toward a purple tint. It is 



^ superlatively good. Its size 



and form are correctly 



shown in the Illustration. 



The leaves are small. The 



flesh is white, crisp, juicy 



and sweet. It Is a quick 



grower, and bunches up 



handsomely. The name of 



this radish is part of the story: it Is truly "delicious." Packet, 



'" cent^^ounce, 15 cents; i^ pound, 40 cents; pound, 81.25. 



ITE DELICIOUS.— In describing this new half long 

 dish I cannot do better than say that it is as good as Red 

 DellclouB described above, but is white instead of red in color. 

 The only thing I have to add Is that In crisp, sharp, brittle 

 quality It has no superior; while the roots are always smooth 

 and regular In shape and solid all the way through; never 

 hollow,untll they are absolutely unfit for use. Skin Is a pure 

 B-hlt^e^ A rapid grower, and one of the very best half long 

 larl«ties. Packet, 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; ^ lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.25. 

 •new triumph. — The roots are globe-shaped, with 

 stripes of bright scarlet on a white skin. The tops are so small 

 that close planting may be practiced. The flesh is tender, 

 mild, juicy and sweet, making It a very desirable table radish. 

 Its peculiar beauty gives the Triumph radish an unusual 

 value. It grows easily and quickly. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 

 15 cents; % pound, 40 cents; pound, 81.25. 



ELiCIOUS RADISH. 



MAULE'S earliest WHITE.— A splen- 

 did, new, olive shaped radish, pure 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. Packet, 10 cts.; 

 ounce, 15 cts.; J4 pound, 40 cts.; pound, 81.25.
