Maulers Just So Radish 



Maule's Just So is the best all around radish ever offered the Ameri- 

 can public. Good either for forcing or open ground culture. We have 

 tested nearly every variety sent out, and have originated many varie- 

 ties ourselves, but nothing has ever come to our notice that will equal 

 Just So. They mature very early. We were able to pull fine radishes 

 in 20 days from sowing the seed; radishes that would measure over one 

 inch in diameter, fine, crisp, white and smooth.

riaule's 1834 ^^ 

 AH Year Round Radish 



This high-bred white radish, which we introduced to the public a num- 

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

 It is now most widely known under the name of 1834. It is of a beau- 

 tiful ivory color..and of crisp, brittle texture. That it has been in favor 

 for two-thirds of a century is proof of its extra good quality, and we wish 

 to say that our seed has always been from one and the same grower, 

 and still maintains its original excellence. The shape is shown in the 

 illustration. It is truly a radish of fixed habit, with an unusually long 

 and well-known pedigree. It is sSlid in character, and conspicuously 

 uniform in growth and size. Adapted to every season; to forcing as 

 well as to open air culture. Gives satisfaction everywhere. 



Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 15 cts.; 14 pound, 40 cts.; pound, $1.50.

riaule's White Delicious 



This half long radish is far superior to any other white radish yet in- 

 troduced, 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. 

 Maule's White Delicious is an early summer variety, does equally as 

 well when sown later for late summer or early fall use. Becomini; 

 very popular with our market gardener friends, does equally as well in 

 the home garden.
