Maule's Improved Long Scarlet Short Top Radish. 



S81 Maule's Improved 

 Long Scarlet Short Top 



My strain of this very popular long radish 

 is the finest to be had on the marliet. In 

 it we have, Trithoat exception, the very best 

 long brittle, brightest scarlet radish I am ac- 

 quainted with. My seed has for years been 

 grown for ine by the same French grower, who 

 has bred It up until now it is simply the 

 perfection of a long red radish, and much 

 better than the ordinary strain offered. It 

 matures beautiful radishes, which are always 

 brittle and sweet, 25 to SO days from the sowing 

 of the seed. Size and shape well shown In 

 Illustration herewith. It is undoubtedly the 

 standard long red variety that will withstand 

 the hot dry weather and remain firm and crisp 

 and of fine flavor. For either the market or 

 home gardener. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 

 10 cents; \^ pound, 25 cents; pound, SO cts. 



MAULE'S EARLIEST SCARLET RADISH. 



583 Maule's 

 Earliest Scarlet 



If you wish to have the finest and first red 

 radishes sow Maule's Earliest Scarlet. It is 

 crisp and brittle. The skin is of a rich, scarlet 

 color, while the flesh is pure white, and always 

 tender, mild and sweet. It has a small, short 

 top, and is well adapted to open air culture or 

 to forcing under glass. In favorable weather 

 and in good soil it will mature in 18 to 20 days 

 from the sowing of the seed. It is extensively 

 used by market gardeners and truckers, who 

 hold it in high esteem. It is good, quick and 

 profitable. Its globular shape and attractive 

 proportions are well shown in the engraving 

 above and I do not think it can be surpassed.

ICICLE RADISH. 



ICICLE 



A Long, White Radish, Extremely Early 



Excellent and profitable. Ready for use as 

 soon as Maule's Long Scarlet Short Top, but 

 has fewer leaves and is even better for forcing. 

 Admirable alike for open air and under glass. 



The Icicle radish is perfectly white in color, 

 and long, slender and tapering in shape. 1\ 

 quickly grows to market size, is crisp and 

 brittle, and of mild, sweet flavor. It remains 

 tender during the entire growing period, and is 

 quite as good when an inch in diameter as 

 when only half an inch. 



A fine variety for market and private gar- 

 deners, who have a demand for an early, long, 

 white radish. It was a marvel of excellence at 

 Briar Crest and Panmure, and has become 

 popular. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 

 14 pound, 30 cents; pound, $1.00.
