MAULE'S 1834 OR ALL YEAR ROUND RADISH. 

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



sn 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 1834 by a German gardener. 

 It is now most widely known \mder the name of 1884. It is of se 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 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 

 uniform in growth and size. Adapted to every season; to forcing as 

 well as to open air culture. Gives satisfaction everywhere. 



Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 15 cts.; % pound, 40 cts.5 pound, $1.90. 



A most excellent radish for forcing under glass or for gro-wing in the 

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

 with market men, and its mJld, 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 

 tbe 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 ets.| % pound, 35 cts.5 pound, 80 cts. 



WHITE BOX RADISH.

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

580 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 variety. An 

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

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

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

 planting out of doors. It is a rapid growing soi't, 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.
