This high-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 

 Is now most widely known under the name of 1834. It is of a beautiful 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 I wish to say that my 

 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 solid in character, and conspicuously uniform in growth 

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

 culture. Pitt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; l^ lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.50.
