Mauh'8 Improved Long Scarlet Short Top Radish. 



Maule's Improved 

 Long Scarlet Short Top. 



The only objection to this radish is its name, 

 which is too long, but is very descriptive. In 

 It we have, 'without exception, the very finest 

 long brittle, brightest scarlet radish I am ac- 

 quainted with. My seed has for years been 

 grown for me 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 30 days from the sowing 

 of the seed. Size and shape well shown in 

 Illustration herewith. It is undoubtedly the 

 standard long red variety for either the mar- 

 ket or home gardener. Pitt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 

 cts.; }/£ lb., 25 cts.; 11)., 75 cts.

SCARLET TURNIP WHITE TIPPED. 



— The cut gives an idea of the ishape of this 

 attractive radish. The color' is scarlet and 

 white. It is extremely quick to mature, 

 being ready for the table in 17 to 20 days 

 from the time of sowing the seed. It Is in- 

 valuable for forcing under glass, as well as 

 for growth in the open air. The skin is very 

 smooth, and its clear color gives it an appetiz- 

 ing appearance on the table. Its flavor is ex- 

 cellent, and its qualities high in all respects. 

 Market gardeners find it a quick selling sort at 

 good prices, always above ordinary sorts, and 

 it is no less satisfactory in the private or home 

 garden. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; 

 ' 4 pound, 35 cents; pound, 90 cents. 



Earliest 

 Scarlet 



M. E. Page, Fairhope, Ala.— I wish to express my 

 thauks for the good pure seeds ynu sent me last spring. 

 I have tried several firms, but yours are the best. 



MACLE'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. 

 Pitt., 10c; oz., 15c; % lb., 30c; lb., $1.00. 



Atcheson Bros., Alvin, Texas.— I have only words 

 of commendation for your seeds; always have a good 

 stand in spite of weather and insects, your seeds are 

 true to name, and prices are right when quality of 

 seed is considered. 



W. J. Turner, Shenandoah, Iowa.— We have changed 

 our place of residence and now live in the home of the 

 seed houses of Iowa, but we hope to send you a good 

 order for the spriffg, for we too have found that 

 Maule's Seeds always grow, and hope to have one of 

 the gardeners send with us. 



NEW RADISH. 



ICICLE. 



Long, White, Extremely Early. 



Excellent and profitable; a new and distinct 

 sort. 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. It 

 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 will certainly 

 become popular. Pitt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 

 % lb., 30 cts.; lb., $1.00.
