Maule's 1834 

 or All Year Round 



This high-bred white radish, which I introduced to the public a num- 

 ber of years ago, was brought to America in 11S34 by a German gardener. 

 It is now most widely known under the name of 1834. It is of a beau- 

 tiful 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 roy 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 evei-y season; to forcing as 

 well as to open air culture. Gives satisfaction everywhere.

White Box 



A most excellent radish for forcing under glass or for growing in the 

 open ground. Its short top and rapid growth make it a great favorite 

 with market men, and its mild, sweet quality wins the favor of the 

 consumer. White Box is one of the best white globe-shaped radishes 

 for early summer use, as it remains solid and crisp longer than any of 

 the other early sorts. It never becomes pithy unless it is left in the 

 ground longer than it requires to mature. At Philadelphia and else- 

 where the market men grow it extensively in glass covered frames 

 without heat. The frames are sometimes called "boxes," and hence the 

 name of the radish. A desirable white sort for the home garden. 

 Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 10 cts.; ]4 pound, 25 cts.; pound, SO cts.

Crimson Giant 



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. It is especially fine for 

 bunching for early market from plantings in the open ground. Matur- 

 ing in 25 to 30 days. Producing larger radishes quicker than most sorts. 

 Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 10 cts.; 1,^ pound, 30 cts.; pound, Sl.OO. 



598 Early Scarlet Olive Shaped 



Also known as Half Long Deep Scarlet. This highly desirable early 

 radish is of quick growth and attractive rich carmine color. Of good 

 appearance and is of mild flavor, with crisp flesh. Grown extensively 

 in the South for early shipment. Does equally as well in the North. 

 It is half long or olive in shape with somewhat tapering point. 



Packet, 5 cts.; oxiuce, 10 cts.; J^ pound, 35 cts.; pound, 75 cts.

Cooper's Sparkler 



A new and distinct globe-shaped radish. The roots, even when fully 

 developed, are solid, crisp and sweet, remaining fit for use longer than 

 most of the other globe-shaped sorts. The colors are more vivid and] 

 attractive. The upper part is a rich carmine scarlet, with a large tip 

 of the purest white, which is quite distinct from any other Tariety. An) 

 excellent forcing sort for either greenhouse or frames or for growing in 

 the open ground. My seed is direct from the originator.
