HORSE-RADISH SETS 



Horse-radish is always in demand in winter and spring. The culture 



is by sets or root cuttings, as it seldom seeds. These sets are planted in 



rows or furrows 2 to 3 feet apart and 15 to 18 inches apart in the rows. 



The sets should be placed in a perpendicular position, with crown 



3 to 6 inches below surface. Horse-radish delights in a deep, rich soil 

 It makes large top growth, giving weeds small 

 chance. The connmon variety I offer at 

 25 cts. per dozen; 90 cts. per 100, by mall, 

 postpaid. By express or freight, not pre- 

 paid, 60 cts. per 100; $5.00 per 1000. 



Maliner Kren 



(New Horse Radish from Bohemia.) Even ordinary horse radish 

 is a very profitable crop, but with this magnificent new 'sort the possi- 

 bilities are wonderful. The roots are so much larger and heavier that the 

 yield is about doubled. Then, too, it matures much quicker. Theflesh 

 Is pure white. Three and four tons per acre can be grown easily. This 

 grand variet.v was found in Bohemia by Mr. David Fairchild, Agricul- 

 tural Explorer for the U. S. Department. of Agriculture, and my roots 

 are from the original lot. Price, 6 for 25 cts.; 40 cts. per doz.; $1.75 

 per 100, by mnil, postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 

 50 for 65c.; $1 25 per 100; $8.00 per 1000.
