Maule's Just So Radish 



Maule's Just So is the best all around radish ever offered the Ameri- 

 can public. Good either for forcing or open ground culture. We have 

 tested nearly every variety sent out, and have originated many varie- 

 ties ourselves, but nothing has ever come to our notice that will equal 

 Just So. They mature very early. We were able to pull fine radishes 

 in 20 days from sowing the seed; radishes that would measure over one 

 inch in diameter, fine, crisp, white and smooth. 



Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 15 cts.; % pound, 40 cts.; pound, $1.50.

571 Maule's 1 834 or 

 All Year Round Radish 



This high-bred white radish, widely known under the name ot 1834, 

 is of a beautiful ivory color, crisp and brittle. That it has been in favor 

 for two-thirds of a century is proof of its extra good quality, and we wish 

 to say that our 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 every season; to forcing as 

 well as to open air culture. Gives satisfaction everywhere.
