it extensively in glass covered frames without | 
heat. The frames are sometimes called

L WINTER RADISHES. 
MAULE’S WINTER.—This is a fine, large, white radish, admittedly 
the best of the winter sorts. It is of Chinese origim but is now thoroughly 
Americanized. Continued selection has made it perfect in shape, size, 
quality and flavor. It resembles California Maminoth Winter, but is su- 
perior to that or any other variety with which I am acquanted, as it lacks 
no qualities desirable in a winter radish. The illustration shows the general 
form of the variety. It will grow toa very large size, 8 to 15 inches in length 
and even larger, according to fertility of soil. Maule’s Winter Radish is the 
most-popular winter sort on my list. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 15c.; 4 Ib., 30¢.; Ib., $1.00.

sirable size. acket, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; 
, 4% pound, 20 cents; pound, 60 cents. 
Horse-radish is always in demand in winter and spring. The culture 
is by sets or root cuttings, it never forms seeds. These sets are planted 
in rows or furrows 2 to 3 feet apart and 15 to 18 inches apart in the rows. 
The set should be placed in a perpendicular position, with crown 8 to 6 
inches below surface. Horse-radish delights in a deep, rich soil and re- 
quires but little cultural attention. It makes large top growth giving 
weeds small chance. Near to markets the horse-radish is a most im- 
portant crop. Price of sets, 25 cents per dozen; 90 cerits per 100, by mail, 
postpaid. y express or freight, 60 cents per 100; $4.00 per 1,000.
