In lavor of yonr seeds which I received from you; they 

 were a great success giving me better success than those 

 I got that were grown at home. I enjoyed your Cos 

 lettuce and Drumhead Savoy cabbage very much as it 

 was the tirst of the land I had ever eaten, and as to your 

 Earliest of All tomatoes I found they ripened earlier and 

 were sown about three weeks later than the same va- 

 riety of seed of home grown seed, therefore I can highly 

 recommenil your seeds.

..Maule's Earliest White 



A splendid, olive-shaped radish, pure white in 

 color, which we secured in France from a prom- 

 inent grower, and is now widely popular here. 

 It Is distinctly earlier than any other radish 

 grown, of any color, as will be understood when 

 we 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. Packet, 5 cts.; 

 ounce, 15 cts.; 14 lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.25.

586 Cincinnati Market 



Sometimes called Glass Radish, iu allusion to its brittle- 

 ness. This radish is widely sown in the West, and Is certainly 

 of high quality, but we find that it Is almost identical with 

 our Long Scarlet. In our trial grounds we can see little 

 difference between the two sorts, except it may be somewhat 

 larger in size and darker in color. 



Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 10 cts.; i^ !''•! 35 cts,; lb,, 85cts. 



601 White Lady Finger 



Sometimes called Long White Vienna. A fit companion 

 for Maule's Long Scarlet Short Top, being very much of the 

 same character, but white instead of red. An extremely 

 popular sort, and is one of the very best and finest of the 

 long white radishes. It is graceful "in form, and in fiavor 

 Is sweet and mild, with brittle flesh. 



Packet, 5 cts,; ounce, 10 cts,; 1^ lb,, 30 cts.; lb,, $1,00, 



577 Maule's White Delicious 



This half long radish is far superior to any other white 

 radish yet introduced, producing handsome shaped white 

 radishes, which when shown on the market stalls make an 

 attractive appearance. Its crisp, sharp brittle quality has 

 no superior,while the roots are always smooth and regular 

 in shape and solid all the way through. A rapid grower, 

 ilaules White Delicious is an early summer variety, does 

 equally as well when sown later for late summer or early 

 fall use. A popular market or home garden sort. 



Packet, 5 cts,; ounce, 15 cts,; % lb,, 40 cts,; lb., $1,35.

MAULE'S WHITE DELICIOUS RADISH. 



COOPER'S SPARKLER RADISH. 



5.0 Cooper's Sparkler 



The Market Gcirdeners' Favorite 



A new and distinct globe-shaped radish. The 

 roots, even when fully deA'eloped, are solid, 

 crisp and sweet, remaining fit for use longer 

 than most of the other globe-shaped sorts. The 

 colors are more vivid and attractive. The up- 

 per part is a rich carmine scarlet, with a large 

 tip of the purest white, which is quite distinct 

 from any other variety. An excellent forcing 

 sort for either greenhouse or frames or for 

 growing in the open ground. Our seed is direct 

 from the originator. 



Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; 

 3^ pound, 30 cents; pound, $1.00, postpaid.
