Cultuhe.- Sow in ground well enriched with rotted manure. Quality depends on quickness of growth. The proper tempera- 

 ture is 10° to 65°. Good ventilation is necessary if grown under glass. The seed should be sown shallow; 1 ounce to UiO feet of 



drill, or 8 to 10 pounds per acre. Thin to 1 inch apart for small varieties and 3 or 4 inches for the large varieties. Radishes will mature in from 



3 to' 5 weeks. They mature most rapidly when standing well apart. 



The 1834 or All Year Round Radish. 



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 ufliform in growth 

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

 culture. Pkt., 10 cts.; 15 cts.; '< lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.50. 



CRIMSON GIANT RADISH 



THE 1834 OR ALL YEAR ROUND RADISH. 

 (Grows as uniform in shape and size as peas in apod.) 



Crimson Giant Radish* 



This is a new early turnip-shaped radish, double the size of any of 

 the early turnip-shaped type, and equally suitable for forcing or early 

 planting out of doors. It is a rapid growing sort, developing roots of 

 a beautiful deep crimson color, which vary in shape from round to 

 almost oval, and often measure from 6 to 7 inches in circumference. 

 The flesh is the purest white, mild in flavor, firm and crisp, and 

 entirely free from the hollow or pithy centre. Good for market gar- 

 deners, for forcing or open ground culture. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 

 Impound, 40 cents; pound, $1.25.
