ALL RicHTs RESERVED.) 2 _______ THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1911 The Business Seed Book for 1911 a Look over this catalogue from end to end, and I am sure old friends as well as new readers will admit that it is the most business-like seed catalogue I have ever put out. All frills of every kind have been dispensed with. I blew my horn last year. I do not do it this year, as I consider it bad taste to constantly ding dong into the ears of customers the facts of how great a man you think you are. My guarantee of “Your Money Back if not Satisfied”’ covers everything, nothing could be more sweeping; and certainly if such houses as Sears, Roe- buck & Co., Montgomery Ward & Co., etc., etc., can guarantee satisfaction, there is no reason under the sun why Wm. Henry Maule should not do business the same way, and I do it. No better seeds than Maule’s can be had at any price Every customer for Maule’s Seeds must be satisfied. This policy, as my friends well know, has built up one of the largest, if not the largest strictly mail order seed business in America. Now as to Crops and Prices: Some things are very short, particularly Peas, Beets, Rad- ishes, ete.; but after a close examination of the prices in this book, you will find very few things advanced, while there are a number of reductions from last year’s prices. J have never entered a season since I have been in business with such large stocks of seeds of every kind as this year. Furthermore, I have enlarged my facilities to such an extent that I can take care of fully 30 per cent. more business than last year; even if I have a rush like last March, which was the greatest I have ever known, I am sure to keep up with it, and instead of waiting a week for your goods, they should be on their way within 24 hours after the order is received. Thanking my friends for the greatest trade the last twelve months I have ever had, and also Market and 18th Streets with best wishes for the new year, P. O. Box 1296 Philadelphia, Pa. MY 4-LEAF CLOVER GUARANTEE I. SAFE ARRIVAL.—I guarantee that all goods sold by me shall reach my customers I remain, Always yours to command, 1707, 1709 and 1711 Filbert Street For Your Own Protection Remember in good order. Il. MONEY INSURED. —I guarantee to hold myself responsible for the safe arrival of all remittances sent to me by post office or- der, draft, check or registered letter. Hit. FREE BY MAIL.—I guarantee to In sending an order always write your name and address with especial care, giving the name of the post office, county and state. If your freight or express office is different from post office do not fail to give it. Write all remarks and communications on a sheet of paper separate from the order. Please use the order sheet enclosed in this catalogue or else use a Sheet of paper Separate from your letter. Sign order as well as letter with name and address. Remit money by Bank Draft or by Express or Post Office Money Order, or else be sure to register your letter. On all amounts of $1.00 or over purchase your money order or register your letter at my ez- pense. I take postage stamps the same as cash. deliver all garden and flower seeds, except at prices quoted by the quart, peck, bushel, 100 pounds, or barrel, free of all charges. IV. AS REPRESENTED.—1 guarantee my seeds to be just as represented. If they prove otherwise, I will refill the order free of charge, or return your money; but it must be understood that I do not guarantee the crop under any circumstances. Five Per Cent. Discount gy An examination of this book will convince every reader that the prices are most reasonable, and that the seeds are worth every penny asked for them. However, if your order amounts to $100.00 or more and the cash accompanies the order, you are entitled to a further discount of 5 per cent. In other words, you can purchase $100.00 worth of Maule’s Seeds for $95.00, provided cash is sent with the order. Do not misunderstand the above discount, it applies only to orders amounting to $100.00 sent in at one time. It cannot be allowed on separate orders that when combined would aggregate $100.00 or more. WM. HENRY MAULE, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Vegetable Seeds—3 the early Spring in than returns from origin, but suitable Asparagus CuULTURE.—The seed before sowing should be well soaked in water. Sowin drills. Coyer with 1 inch of soil, cultivate freely. One ounce will produce about 400 plants; 4 to 5 pounds to the acre. The following Spring set out the roots to a permanent bed, in rows 2 to 5 feet apart, 18 inches apart in the rows. Spread out the roots as much as possible, covering with 2 inches of soil. iy trade in Asparagus Roots has grown at a tremendous rate for the last five years. I have in mind one customer in New York State who started some years ago with an order for 5,000 roots, two years afterwards he ordered 10,000 more, the next year was followed with an order for 30,000 or 40,000, and I recently had another order from him for almost 50,000 roots. The reason for this extensive planting of asparagus is undoubtedly from the fact that there has been shipped into the New York market every year for the past five or six years almost double the quantity each year that had been shipped the previous year, and notwithstanding this enormous increase in the production, it does not make any difference where the market may be, whether Chicago, New York, Philadelphia or Boston, the price has not depreciated. In other words, the growers secured in the spring of 1910 in almost every case as high prices for their increased crops as they received five years ago.

This increase has not only occurred in the East; but BARR’S PHILADELPHIA MAMMOTH. on the Pacific Slope, especially in the Sacramento Valley, more and more people are every year becoming interested in growing asparagus, and are making big money by doing so. The thing that deters many people is the fact that when they plant good strong one-year-old roots it takes two or three years waiting before returns begin to come in; but when they do begin to come in they invariably pay a big return on the money invested. In this connection I would say that the size and consequent market value of the stalks is influenced more by the amount of space alloted to each plant than by any other single circumstance, and for this reason I consider wide planting the only sensible and safe course for the market grower. Some of my most successful growers make the rows six feet apart, with three or four feet distance between the plants. Even then the roots completely fill the soil, and interlock between the wide rows. Planting at this distance admits of cultivation both ways. The least distance that should be given in a bed expected to yield fine, large stalks for many years, is five feet by two, requiring between 4,000and 5,000 plants to the acre; nothing can be gained by planting closer. One hundred plants thus set in good soil will furnish an abundant supply of ‘grass’ for a large family. The two varieties I particularly recommend are my Giant Argenteuil and Palmetto. But at the same time, Barr’s Philadelphia Mammoth is also a most excellent sort. 1 Palmetto A great many people consider this market; one reason is that it seems to be disease proof, and where other vari- eties have been susceptible to the aspar- agus disease, Palmetto has continued to yield big paying crops. This variety at ment station proved to be the best out of one year being over $300 more per acre Barr’s Mammoth. It is of Southern for North also. Earlier than Conover’s. Stock. My strain isan improvement upon the original. In the South it is regarded as superior to Palmetto, and I recommend it with great confidence to Northern growers. One experienced grower says that Argenteuil is as much larger than Palmetto as Palmetto is larger than Conover’s. It has a place of its own in the New York and Boston markets, and sells for $1.00 to $2.00 more per dozen bunches than the best of old sorts. The illustration herewith is taken from an average bunch prepared for selling in the market. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 14 Ih., 30 cts,; 1b., $1.00.

As to brittleness of pod, the point suggested by its name, its merit is so high that its enthusiastic friends claim it is the only stringless bean. . The pods are round, fleshy and nearly straight; are borne in abundance through a long season, beginning early. They are 514 to 644 inches in length, light green in color, very tender, and of highest and best flavor. They remain long in edible condition, and the plant or bush bears continuously for weeks.

Yellow Pods 27 MAULE’S WINGOLD First offered in 1906 as ‘Nameless Wax.” When the originator of this bean offered it to me, I hesitated some time before listing it, as I thought there were already enough wax beans on the market; but his earnestness and my trials of the bean, so impressed me with its merits that I finally decided to offer it. That it is a great acquisition there is now no question. It is absolutely stringless, with beautiful, round, yellow pods that will sell at sight on any market stall. It is free from spots or disease of any kind, and from several years’ experiments matures much earlier than I expected. With one accord, all my friends who tried it seem to think it the coming wax sort, especially in view of the fact that it is so absolutely rust proof, so remarkably hardy, and so wonderfully produc- tive.

THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1911 MAULE’S EVERGREEN POLE LIMA BEAN 2? KING Qi Kine \GARDEN NK" - Maule’s Evergreen Pole Lima For a number of years a market gardener near Philadelphia has been experimenting with lima beans, with the idea of breeding a bean that would retain the green color of the bean when dry. I haye watched his experiment for several years with a great deal of interest, and at last at a big price secured some of the seed, and grew the product of same at Panmure. I must Say it is a Strong, robust, vigorous grower, very productive, and the dry bean retains the green color longer than any other variety I know of. Hence its name, Evergreen. Every mar- ket gardener knows what a desirable characteristic this is in a bean, and when we add to it unusual productiveness and superb quality, we have a lima bean that is as near perfection as ever attained.

It represents the careful selection for many years of one of the best growers of lima beans I know. By selecting the earliest pods year after year he has secured a bean that is positively two weeks earlier than any other. Beans are as large as the ordinary large lima, pods containing five and six beans. It comes in bearing early in July and bears right up to frost.

The Wakefield, with its pointed head, held the leading place among early cabbages for several decades, out of sheer merit; and it is still in favor with all market gardeners. It has the serious shortcomings of being small in size and light in weight, but is so reliably early and so genuinely good that nothing can wholly Supersede it or drive it out of the markets. The Charleston Wakefield is an improved and larger form of Maule’s Prize Wakefield. It re- quires rather more time to reach maturity, but it yields fully twice the crop of the original Wakefield cabbage. It is about a week or 10 days later than its parent, and comes along in a close succession to the earliest cabbage crop. It is a strain which cannot be profitably overlooked by any gardener, whether it is intended for a pri- yate garden or to besent to market. All the mar- ket gardeners near the great Hastern cities plant Charleston Wakefield for second early cabbage, and there is no better second early sort. It has a less pointed head than its ancestor. Charleston Wakefield is a good keeper and may be planted as a second crop, to mature in the autumn, if desired. It is a first rate shipper, and in great favor with everybody who knows it. I recommend it highly.

On account of its quick growth, this cabbage is a most desirable sort for market gar- deners to set out late in July, after early potatoes or other Spring crops are harvested.

No other cabbage in America today has all the merits of Maule’s Genuine Surehead. People who have never sown Maule’s Surehead do not know what good cabbage is. The Surehead is the greatest and most profitable cabbage ever introduced, that has, for such a long term of years, maintained so wide a popularity. This is proved by the testimony of over 100,000 planters, in all sections of the country, representing all conditions of soil, elevation, climate and cultural treatment. I can truthfully repeat the statements made in former catalogues, that while no serious complaints, even in isolated cases, have ever been made against this justly celebrated cabbage, thousands of tongues and pens are ready to tell of its worth. Hence, I say again, if you want a cabbage all head and always sure to head, you will find it in Maule’s Genuine Surehead. Maule’s Surehead is a cabbage of the general type of Prize Flat Dutch and Prize Drumhead, with the same large, deep, somewhat flattened head, and the same high qualities; but somewhat finer in texture and with less spread of leaves. It is a late variety, with head as large as Flat Dutch. It is almost absolutely uniform in growth. The heads are firm and hard, and the cabbage keeps well, is a splendid shipper, and is a variety certain to give satisfaction. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 35 cents; quarter pound, $1.00; pound, $3.50.

Itis alarge sort, with a flat head, matur- | ing in midsummer. It can be brought to perfection in the hottest ¢ weather, or may be used as an autumn or winter crop. The heads average ten to twelve inches in diameter, but are frequently larger. The average weight per head is about twelve pounds. The introducers say of this cabbage: ‘‘ We consider it one of our most valuable contributions to horticulture. It would be classed as a second ¢ early variety, coming in a few days later than Harly Summer, but it is superior to that variety. Itis of nearly double the size, and is abso- lutely true to its type under all conditions. In addition to this, it has no tendency whatever to run to seed. * * It is so finely bred and so true to type that in a field of twenty acres every head appears alike.” ‘ It is avery handsome cabbage in make up and habit of growth, as well 3 as high bred in quality. Indeed, the introducers are justified in regard- ing Succession as a true and individual type of cabbage. Packet, 10 cts.; oumce, 35 cts.; 4 pound, $1.00; pound, $3.50. SUCCESSION CABBAGE. 133 Maule’s Prize Drumhead Sureness in heading and regularity in growth have placed this at the top of the list, and I have no fear of using words of praise too high for its merits. It forms very large, hard, solid, flat- , tened heads, uniform in shape and color, and of handsomeappearance. It has averyshort stem, and is a compact grower. Shortness of stem is so characteristic as to be associated with the very best strains of this cabbage, and the stock which I offer is thoroughbred in this and all other respects. This cabbage, like Prize Flat Dutch, has so long been an established standard that certain peculiarities have been bred into it, and have be- come so firmly fixed as to be necessary features of growth. It is as natural for this cabbage to form a head as to form leaves, and reports of 99 marketable heads from 100 plants are of frequent occurrence. Nobody will be disappointed in my strain of Short Stemmed Drumhead, for it repre- sents the best principles of seed culture applied toa standard vegetable. My Prize Drumhead far Surpasses the old-fashioned strains of the same hame, being quicker and more certain to mature, with heads of deeper and better shape. It is a standard sort for winter keeping, and sells read- = ily in the winter and spring markets. MAULE’S PRIZE DRUMHEAD CABBAGE.

Continued eare and critical Selection have secured a perfectly true stock of seed. The heads of my Prize Flat Dutch are very large, heavy, solid, flat on top, and of a bluish c green color. My strain is alow growing variety, \ with short stem and comparatively few outer \ leaves. The quality is fine and the flavor ex- \ cellent, the heads being white when cut and the inside leaves crisp and tender. My seed has always been American grown, coming from the celebrated Long Island districts, and whoever purchases Maule’s Prize Flat Dutch may be as- sured of getting the best. It is everywhere a favorite market variety. It matures slightly earlier than Prize Drumhead; perhaps three to five days sooner. Prize Flat Dutch is comparatively free from a disposition to burst, and is one of the most reliable winter keepers. I think this strain will do better under partial neglect than any other in the world, possibly excepting Surehead. It has been so long bred to a standard that the heading habit is thoroughly established as an es- sential part of its growth, and it will produce a head even when its size is stunted by dry weather or other adverse condition.

Under high culture it has reached the enormous weight of 50 to 60 pounds per head, with a diameter equal to that of a bushel basket, while 30 pounds per head is by no means rare. If you wish to have the biggest cabbage in the whole neighborhood this is the variety to plant. The quality, more- over, is not coarse, and the flavor is delicate and excellent. It is well adapted to the South, and is considered one of the most desirable varie- ties of late cabbage for warm latitudes. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 30 cts.; 14 pound, 85 cts.; pound, $3.00. uo NEW RED DANISH ROUND HEAD This new red cabbage originated in Denmark, and is considered one of the best strains intro- duced. The plants are strong and compact in growth, producing dark red, round solid heads of large size, equally as hard and handsome in appearance as my famous Danish Ball Head. The red color extends to the centre of each head, making it a valuable sort for the market or pickling. Best imported Danish grown seed. Originator stock. Packet, 10 cents; 14 ounce, 30 cemts; ounce, 50 cemts; 1{ pound, $1.75. 137 Red Polish . Lhe Houser This excellent cabbage is in very wide favor, and thousands of my friends tes- tify to its value. It is at least two weeks later than any strain of the Late Flat Dutch type. In solidity it is almost as hard asthe renowned Danish Ball Head. It is very compact in habit of growth, the leaves closely surrounding and over- lapping the head. The shape and ap-: pearance are shown in the illustration. In size the Houser cabbage will aver- \ age about 12 pounds at maturity, and the heads are uniformly handsome. The shape is round and deep, as indicated; and when a head cracks or bursts it is always at the stem end, which does not destroy its use for market. In quality the Houser cabbage equals the best, being very free from the coarse ribs found in most late soits. In fact, I would say that the Houser cabbage is very well bred, and in the careful trials and comparative tests on my grounds, it has shown up excellently with all other late sorts. It is a strong, vigorous grow- er, with ability to withstand drought better than most varieties. Its true merit is shown by the demand for it. It behaves well in the field and sells well in the market, and adapts itself to various conditions of soil and climate. As to its keeping qualities, in winter storage, I have only to say that it is per- fect. Indeed, it is because the Houser is so extremely late and is such an excellent keeper that it has attained such wide popularity. I offer the original stock. ipackee 10 cents; half ounce, 25 cent:; ounce, 40 cents; quarter pound, $1.10; pound, $4.00 Short-Stemmed This grand red cabbage is a vigorous grower and quite hardy. The heads are of a dark red color, and are extremely firm aad heavy. The stem is short, and there are but few outer leaves, and it, therefore, requires only a moderate amount of room in the row. The quality of the cabbage is excellent, and I can and do recommend it highly. The outside leaves are somewhat crumpled at the edges, giving the plant a pleasing and rather ornamental appearance. The well-shaped head is shown in the illustra- tion. Some of the smaller red cabbages have leaves So spread- ing as to actually re- quire more room for growth than this one.

Reaches Perfection When Ordinary Sorts Fail. This new strain originated in Denmark, but has been fully tested in America with the most happy results. I offered it in 1901 for the first time, and am well satisfied with its behavior. It produces a jJarge, solid, pure white head, maturing a little later than Maule’s Prize Earliest. It is in all respects a first-class cauliflower, but is especially and peculiarly adapted to dry situations and to resisting the effects of droughts. It will not thrive in poor soil or under bad treat- ment, as like all other cauliflowers it requires manure and culture; but it will succeed with less rainfall than any other variety within my knowledge. It will also do well in moist or wet seasons, making heads equal to the best; but it is in dry seasons that its merits appear to best advantage, and I am confident that it will extend the culture of this delicious vegetable into locations in which it is practically unknown.

MAULE’S ALWAYS HEADS CAULIFLOWER. 1s Maule’s Always Heads Cauliflower The name well illustrates the strongest characteristic of this cauli- flower, that in season and out of season it can always be depended upon to make a head. I secured it from one of the most expert cauliflower growers in Denmark, who for many years has considered ‘Always Heads” absolutely head and shoulders above every other cauliflower, as he has raised 99 heads 8 to 10 inches across from every 100 plants year after year. He resides in a district where hundreds of acres of Snowball and Earliest Dwarf Erfurt are annually grown, and has always been able to secure top market prices for his entire product, besides being equally as early in the market. Iam not prepared to Say it is better than Maule’s Prize Earliest, but consider it nearly as good.

If near a good market, make several plantings. Carrots do not demand excessively rich soil, and often do well on land where a clover sod has been plowed under the year before. « Extra Early Parisian Forcing Carrot This carrot is one of such quick growth that I think a good name for it is the radish carrot, for it certainly matures as quickly asaradish. The root is formed much quicker than the well known French Forcing carrot. It has a very fine neck and a rather hollow crown. Leaves are short and erect, and while small are quite sufficient for early bunching; good for forcing under glass or outdoors. It has been the first carrot on the Parisian market for a number of years and I can highly recommend it to all my customers who desire a small, early, delicious carrot that will mature as soon as many varieties of radish, but must be sown in very rich soil.

Ge EXTRA EARLY PARISIAN FORCING CARROT, .; Maule’s Golden Rod Carrot This new carrot is an intensified Dan- vers, suited to both table and stock.

It never becomes stringy nor shows rings. Highly recommended both for table use and stock feeding, and especially desir- able for market gardeners and amateurs who wish to grow something choice in quality. With ordinary good treatment Golden Rod will yield close to 40 tons to the acre. Thousands of testimonials in favor of Golden Rod have already reached me, and I am sure it is worthy of univer- sal trial. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; i pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.50.

Celery is mostly grown under flat culture, without trenches, in rows 4 feet apart, 6inches apartinrow. For home use celery is often grown in double rows, 10 inches apart, without trenching, and banked for winter storage just where it grows, without lifting. vs Maule’s XX Selected Strain Golden Self-Blanching Celery is undoubtedly the most popular and profitable celery in cul- tivation today. It is always in demand where good celery is appreciated. It gives the largest return for the labor. In quality it ranks with the highest, It is equally in favor with the amateur and market gardeners. It is dwarf to half dwarf, growing about 18 to 20 inches in height, wonderfully stocky, very heavy, perfectly solid, of delicate flavor and a good keeper. Added to these points is its great distinctive feature of being almost literally self-blanching. If I have been asked once, I have been asked during the last six months at least a hundred times by members of the trade what I was going to do the coming season for Golden Self-Blanching Celery. The weather in France, where my XX Strain is grown, has been worse this year than ever before; you have no doubt read in the papers of the disastrous floods and rains that have devas- tated France from one end to the other. In no other place in the world can Maule’s XX Golden Self-Blanching Celery be grown to perfection. Now possibly many celery growers are not aware of the fact that two-year-old celery seed grows just as well as one-year-old seed. On this account for many years I have always made it a point to carry over at least 600 pounds of my XX Golden Self-Blanching from one year to the other; sometimes I have carried over as much as 1,000 pounds. I turned down orders last spring, and considered myself sold out when I got down to the 600 pounds. Consequently, I start this season with 600 pounds, and while I should have received between 2 and 3 tons of new seed, I regret to announce that 1 received considerably less than 5 ewt.

As long as my supply holds out I shall sell what I have at $10.50 per pound, postpaid; 10 pounds or more, $10.00 per pound, by express, at purchaser’s expense.

(XX Selected Strain) LD Te ARON CR NO This magnificent celery is improving from year to year under high culture and careful selection. It is a truly beautiful type. No other celery naturally turns white upon reaching maturity. All others require blanching with boards or with earth. The Golden Self-Blanch- ing naturally turns yellow, but this one turns white.

This makes the White Plume Celery one of the most showy ornaments that can be put upon the Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner table.

MAULE’S COLOSSAL EARLY SUGAR CORN. » Maule’s Colossal Early Sugar Corn Now First Offered The Finest Sugar Corn in Existence The first real rival of the Shoe Peg or Country Gentleman, as large as Stowell’s Evergreen, and of delicious flavor. Frequently matures fine large ears ten weeks from planting. For a number of years I have been watching closely this new corn, and last year distributed hundreds of packets in all sections of the country, to the unbounded satisfaction of all who planted it. It might be called an Improved Ideal, for while not so early as the Ideal by a few days, it produces larger ears, and is in all respects a genuine sugar corn of superb flavor. Probably no man in the country has had so much experience with various kinds of sugar corm, as Mr.’C..S. Clark, of Ohio.) {Thad jhim grow a crop of Maule’s Colossal for me last year, and last September wrote to him asking his opinion of this variety. He answered my com- munication under date of September 14, 1910, “Your Colossal Sweet Corn was planted May 14th, and laid in the cold ground for one month beforeit cameup. This was due to the fact that May and the fore part of last June hold the record as the coldest months ever known in Ohio at this season of the year. During all those four weeks of cold, this corn stuck and hung to life and grew, and we got a good stand of it, and it came on and made the best crop of sweet corn in Northern Ohio where hundreds of acres of all sorts are grown. “This is a fact, that itis the best field of sweet corn today in all this section. Therefore, we have a right to be more as follows: than pleased with this corn. The ears are nearly as large as Stowell’s, and it is sweet and tender and of fine quality, with fodder just as large and more ears per stalk on the average. ‘“‘Market gardeners, canners, hotels and the sweet corn growers will appreciate having this variety to come in just after the early sorts are gone and before the late sorts are ready. It is a very strong grower, and I have never seen a sweet corn which grows the ears so far away from the stalk on a long strong shank, ears up three feet from the ground, making it the most convenient corn to pick off the stalk I ever saw.”’ I also had another crop of this corn grown in Connecticut by Mr. Willard, former President of the American Seed Trade Association. In writing to me he has this to say: “We are much pleased with the appearance of this new sweet corn, and think the name you have chosen, ‘‘Colossal,’? would be very appropriate. It is early for a large eared variety, and I believe will prove to be a very popular sort.” yield. The prospect is for an exceedingly nice Now here are opinions of two authorities on sugar corn, one in the Middle West, and one in New England, which corroborate in every way what I previously thought of this grand new sweet corn. Maule’s Colossal has three principal points First—Earliness. It has matured a crop in from 58 to 62 days under extraordinary circumstances, but can generally be depended on to come to maturity inside of 70 days. Second—Flavor. It is the most delicious sugary corn you have ever eaten. A rival of Country Gentleman. Third—Size. It is undoubtedly the largest eared extra early sugar corn in existence, as the ears average from 7 to 9 inches Packet, 15 cents; half pint, 30 cents; pint, 50 At our Panmure Seed Gardens, at Newfield, N. J., the crop was the admiration of all. that especially recommend it: in length, and frequently 2} to 3 inches in diameter, with 12 to 14 rows of white sweet kernels that fairly melt in your mouth. Two or three ears are generally found on every stalk; it grows from 6 to 7 feet tall, which furnishes a most desirable fodder. I have had a fine crop, as above stated, grown in Ohio, also in Connecticut and New Jersey.

HENRY MAULE, PHILADELPHIA, PA. .Maule’s Ideal Do you want delicious corn on your table the 4th of July? Then this is what you need. This is what Mr. Ball the originator has to say about it: “About eight years ago I received a small packet of early sweet corn from a friend, which proved to be in the same class as the Earliest of All sugar corns, considerably larger, and best of all contained a sweetness equal to most of our best true sugar varieties. “As soon as the ear began to show the flower, I selected the most promising stalks and cut out those remaining. These selected stalks were carefully watched as they devel- oped, and by a careful system of carrying the pollen of plants showing different individual qualities, from one stalk to another, thus combining size, shape and earliness of ear, I succeeded in obtaining wonderful results, besides imparting yitality to the seed that is astonishing. It has the power of germination under conditions when all others have failed, and can safely be planted much earlier than any true sugar corn on account of its extreme hardiness. “TJ have produced in this new sweet corn a variety which stands alone, as a money maker. It is as large as Stowell’s Evergreen.’ The fodder will average 6 feet; no small item to a farmer; and as a proof of its quality and sweetness, I had a continuous call for ‘Ideal’ from the wealthiest and most fashionable residents of the surrounding suburban towns. In earliness, anyone growing this corn will have the crop marketed and the money in his pocket before any of the early sugar corns are ready. “This season sugar corn had been a glut on the market, selling as low as 25 cents per hundred, but by planting Ideal, I was enabled to produce from less than one acre sixty hundred’ ears, which sold at wholesale at $1.50 per hundred, be- sides selecting nearly thirty bushels for seed. It adapts itself to any kind of soil, either sand or heavy clay. It will pay handsomely for every pound of manure given it. “Tt should be planted not closer = than 38 feet each way, if soil is very / rich; 3x34 would be better. Do not let the ears get over ripe. Make small cuts about 3 inches from end of ear with sharp knife before cut- ting, to ascertain if in edible condi- tion, as it is somewhat deceiving =, until one gets accustomed to its ZS growth.” The illustration herewith is from a photograph of an average ear full 8 inches long. It speaks for itself. Ar Sven Wx : \ \ f \\ i ic 5 is OOM Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 30 cts.; quart, 50 cts.; 2 quarts, 90 cts., postpaid.

Mr. Davis needs no introduction; as the originator of the Davis Wax Bean and Grand Rapids Forcing Lettuce, he has a reputation as a market gardener for knowing what is what, second to none. Mr. Davis has for years been forcing cucum- bers under glass for the Chicago and Detroit markets, and it has been his ambition to produce a cucumber that would be as handsome in appearance and sell as well grown in the ordinary way in the open ground. He has at last suc- ceeded in perfecting a cucuinber that beats anything I have ever seen; Davis Perfect is bound to become the most popular cucumber both for forcing under glass and growing outside, for the following reasons: First. It has an ideal shape, and the handsomest color of all cucumbers. ; Second. It is a type of the most perfect size. Third. Eating qualities surpass anything I have ever tried. Fourth. It is almost seedless one-third of its length from the stem end, and the seeds when it is in slicing condition are so small and tender that they are unnoticed. Fifth. It is enormously productive, in fact, beats anything I have ever tried. Sixth. It does not change its dark, rich color when grown outdoors; in fact, it resembles a hothouse cucumber so closely that dealers cannot tell the difference, and are willing to pay as much for it as the hothouse production. Mr. Davis has tried every strain of new cucumber that has been intro- duced in the last few years; while a number of them have been very good, he is frank in saying that his cucumber beats anything he has ever tried, and other growers in Grand Rapids are of the same opinion. The facts boiled down are simply these: I believe this is the greatest cucumber ever introduced, and it is bound to become popular everywhere when it is known. Local market gardeners in Grand Rapids, Mr. Davis’ home, who make a specialty of growing cucumbers under glass, have tried in vain to get this seed to sow in the open ground. It will be a big money maker for anyone engaged in growing cucumbers in the open ground, for Mr. Davis could have sold the. cucumbers represented in this seed crop for more than double the price of any outdoor grown cucumber on the market. Mr. Davis sold Davis Perfect for $1.00 a bushel, both in the Grand Rapids market and Chi- cago, at the same time the best of the other outdoor grown cucumbers were bringing 40 to 50 cents. The dealers who handled these cucumbers for Mr. Davis wanted him to ship them in large quantities, as they could sell at $1.00 all he could send them, no matter how large the quantity. It stands to reason a cucumber that can be grown outdoors and resem- bles a hot house cucumber so closely that the trade will pay the same price they are paying for the hot house product is worth a great deal, and it is. I predict the greatest sale any cucumber novelty has ever had for the new Davis Perfect, and every grower, whether for home consumption or for market, to be abreast of the times, must plant this variety. Further comment seems unnecessary.

I suppose this year I am listing the largest number of Specialties and Novelties that can be found in any catalogue, but they are all in their proper places through the book. The Cabbages are all together, as well as the Onions, Radishes, etc., etc. As a rule this is not the custom of the seed trade, but my customers prefer each variety listed together in this way, as it is much more convenient for reference, and saves them a lot of trouble when making out their orders. WM. HENRY MAULE, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Vegetable Seeds—39 MAULE’S SHAMROCK CUCUMBER. a Maule’s Shamrock Gucumber There are many varieties of White Spine Cucumber for which this characteristic of being always green has been claimed; but, as a rule, they have all been found wanting. The originator of Shamrock has this to say: “Some years ago growing two acres of cucumbers for pickles, I found three cucumbers that were green while the rest were yellow. I cut these three cucumbers and found them dead ripe. I saved the seed and planted it the next year by itself, growing some for pickling, and found it O. K. I found that a few turned partly yellow when ripe. These I discarded and planted the seed again from a green cucumber with a perfect result. The cucumber is dark green, good shape, about like Jersey pickle, turns light green when dead ripe. It is a good table cucumber and is the best for all market gardeners, as it keeps green so long. I am willing to stand by every claim, and if there is another such cucumber I do not know of it. It is needless to say that Shamrock, if it does as well the country over as it has done where it originated, and on my trial grounds, will make a name for itself everywhere.

In this Rocky Ford Melon I offer my customers a strain of seed grown for me by one of the very best, if not the best, growers of melons in Rocky Ford, Colo. The seed is saved from a field in which not a single melon has been sold, in other words only the best and choicest melons have been retained for seed. These melons if shipped to the Eastern mar- kets would have brought the highest prices, conse- quently the seed I offer costs me an unusually high price. This strain of Rocky Ford is equal to any small green fieshed melon now on the market, and be- tween ourselves while this is the best green fleshed, Bowman’s Gold Coin offered below is the best Salmon fieshed variety of this character. I have less than 1,000 pounds of this special strain of Maule’s Select Rocky Ford on hand, but as long as it lasts will be glad to furnish it to my customers at the following reasonable prices : Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; MAULE’S SELECT ROCKY FORD MUSKMELON. 4 pound, 30 cents; pound, $1.00. ss Maule’s Honey Muskmelon (Green flesh.) I call it Honey from the fact that 56 of my customers suggested this name, in com- petition for.a $100 prize, and it was very gratifying to me to know that so many felt compelled on ac- count of its sweet, delicious flavor to call this new melon Honey. Maule’s Honey muskmelon is of medium size, weighing 3 to 4 pounds on an average. It is distinctly and evenly ribbed and moderately } netted. Globe shape and somewhat flattened at the stem and blossom end. Its exterior color is a peculiar shade of green, quite unlike any other muskmelon. The flesh is green, inclining to yel- low. Thespicy flavor is as distinct and character- istic as itis sweet and pleasing. The flesh is both deep and firm, the edible portion almost touching the rind, and remarkably juicy.

Gold Coin. first offered in 1906; was first called to my attention by Mr. T. Greiner, the Garden Editor of The Practical Farmer, a weekly agricultural journal, that I really think has done more for the benefit of American horticulture and agriculture than any other publication in this country. Mr. Bowman, first discovered this melon nine years ago, ina patch of Emerald Gem, on his grounds in Niagara County, New York. It is sup- posed to be across between that variety and Anne Arundel or Acme. Careful selection of seed has brought it to its present perfection. The following is Mr. Bowman’s description of it: ‘My melon is = earlier than the Paul Rose by 10 days.. It is two or three times as large, and a great deal more netted, of lighter skin, wider ribbed, of deeper flesh and | better quality. It also yields twice as many bushels to the acre. The specimens run from round to ob- long, often both on the same vine, Some of the speci- mens weighing 6 to 7 pounds. Paul Rose, Miller’s Cream, or any other melon I ever saw, is not to be compared with it in quality or general value.” In Gold Coin I consider I have found what we have all along been looking for, a melon equal to the Emerald Gem in quality, and a better shipper.

THEPERFECT es MUSKMELON Spicy Green Flesh. Small Seed Cavity. A Prodigious Cropper. (Green flesh.) A paragon of merit—in size, shape, netting, appear- ance, aroma, flavor, depth of flesh, smallness of seed cavity, cropping ability and shipping quality. It leaves nothing to be desired. Maule’s Model was bred by Mr. Morgan, of Gloucester county, N. J.,an expert in his line. Its parents were Netted Gem and Pineapple, with a second hybridizing with one of its parents. This was followed by six years of careful selection. The result was a melon of wide local celeb- rity, and one which commanded exclusive prices in several great cities. Maule’s Model is an early melon, maturing in South Jersey the last of July tothe first of August. It is larger than Rocky Ford, the average weight being somewhat above two pounds. It has an ideal shape for a fashionable market. The flesh is green. The interior seed cavity is small, and of triangular or prismatic shape, the seeds being few. As a table melon Maule’s Model cannot besurpassed. In delicacy and THE FAMOUS MUSKMELON | . Maule’s Model A Melon of Distinguished Pedigree.

Maule’s Model bears transportation well, and can be carried to distant cities without injury. One of Mr. Morgan’s main markets was over 300 miles from his tarm, and the melons always stood the journey per- fectly, and would have traveled a thousand miles just as easily. Maule’s Model has every good quality possessed by the Rocky Ford, with the added value of being more productive. It will show the effects of long continued drought, in common with all forms of vegetation, but does not seem to lose its strength while lying dormant under a scorch- ing sun. Upon the coming of rain it responds at once in the way of continued growth and abundance of fruit. Maule’s Model is now sold all over the U. S. under a half dozen differ- ent names.

Maule’s Neapolitan Pepper The earliest of all peppers by a week to ten days. originally named and first offered Neapolitan in 1903. If I had not purchased my Panmure Seed Farms this pepper would still be unknown. LHight years ago my atten- tion was attracted to the fact that a few Italian gardeners located near Panmure, were shipping peppers by the carload one to three weeks earlier than any other peppers could be shipped; and on inyestigation I found that for years a small settlement of Italians situated a few miles from my farm had been shipping these peppers to market and realizing thou- sands of dollars. With our trials of other peppers, Neapoli- tan proved itself to be two weeks earlier than any other. When, in addition to this fact, we had good size and mild, piquant flavor, I decided I had secured a money maker. Plants are of strong growth, very stocky, and peppers are borne erect, averaging the size of the illustration. Flesh is very thick and fruit is pale green turning to a brilliant red color. If my customers want peppers from one to three weeks ahead of their neighbors, they must plant Neapolitan.

I secured the seed from a pepper specialist, who has been shipping it for a number of years past with great success to the New York and Boston mar- kets, where he has invariably secured the highest market prices. It is of upright erowth and must not be confused with the Red Squash; it is a much better pepper every way, enormously productive, and can be eaten out of the hand like an apple, being of mild and delicate flavor.

Prosperity or Gradus An Extra Early Wrinkled Pea This remarkable pea has produced a sensation in the horticultural world, and there is no longer any doubt about its position and standing. It is now recognized as a leader. It is not only large and of best quality, but it is as early as the small, round, extra early sorts. It may be planted as soon as the ground is fit to work in spring, along with the smooth peas. It promises to take the place of the smooth peas in general culture to a great extent. Prosperity or Gradus is a wrinkled pea, with vine growing 18 to 30 inches high. It requires no sticks or brush, though sticks may be used, if preferred. The peas are freely borne, and remain in good order for a number of days. The pods are of a bright green color, and measure 4 inches or more in length, being as large as Telephone, and equally well filled with luscious peas—8 to 10 or more in a pod. The peas them- selves are of a first-class table quality, and retain their color and attractive appearance after cooking. The pods are round and plump. On light, sandy soils it attains a growth of only 15 or 18 inches, while on rich, heavy loams it reaches 30 inches. It is entirely adapted to the purposes of the market gardener, requiring only good field treatment. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 40 cts.; qt., 75 cts., postpaid.

Probably there are no two concerns in the country who know more about peas or who grow more peas for seed purposes than Messrs. Keeney & Son, of Genesee Co., N. Y., or Rogers Bros., of Jefferson Co., N. Y. Messrs. Keeney & Son write: “Tt is more accurately named than any other pea in the list, and for the private garden is an excellent variety, as it will continue producing for a long time, if the peas are promptly and completely picked as fast as they become large enough to use on the table.” This was supplemented by a letter from Rogers Bros., who made the following statement : “We consider it the best or nearest to a per- petual pea of anything we have ever seen yet.” Perpetual pea is everything its name implies. It grows about 24% to 8 feet high, is of strong, robust habit, a good cropper, and, to secure best results, requires sticks or brush. After removing | the pods as fast as they are filled it will continue | to bear right along throughout the season. This one feature makes it especially desirable for the home or family garden and I know of no large podded pea that will produce so many pods and none that are so well filled as the Perpetual. It is certainly the most remarkable everbearing pea that has ever come to my knowledge. I am offering this year what I consider an Im- proved Perpetual, on account of its haying larger pods than the old strain I have been offering for so many years.

The wrink- led green peas are very la¥ge, and uniformly well filed. The pods are large, long, with square ends fine color and of unsurpassed quality. Many market gardeners have planted the Thomas Laxton in preference to Gradus, to their entire Satisfaction. My opinion of Thomas Laxton is that it is not as early as Gradus by three or four days; at the same time it is, if anything more productive, peas are fully as large, of a richer green color.

When I was in England recently I took a special trip down to Witham, in Hssex, to look at this pea, believ- ing that the tales I had heard about it in London were more fairy tales than anything else, as I did not think it possible to find a pea that was absolutely from 8 to 10 days earlier than any other known variety; but I found that I was mistaken and that there was such a pea.

If Velocity does well here, as I am very certain it will, it will be a great pea for canners, be- cause it will enable them to put up a class of peas that up to the present time have been very difficult to obtain; in other words, a pea that will compete with the French peas sold all over the country, and for which there is an enormous demand.

THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1911 arly Market Pea Also Listed as New Prolific Extra Early 30 to 50 Per Cent. More Prolific Than Alaska I offered this grand pea in 1901 for the first time, quoting the introducer to the effect that while it was 3 to 4 days later than the first early sorts, it was 30 to 50 per cent. more prolific. Ten years’ experience with it leads me to conclude that it is practically as early as the very first of all, and more prolific. The introducers, Messrs. N. B. Keeney & Son, prominent New York pea growers, thus speak of it : “About twelve years ago the writer selected a very productive plant of an extra early pea, having an exceptionally long pod. From this, dur- ing the last eleven years, was produced what we call Prolific Early Market. Our tests of this pea during ’94, ’96 and ’97 showed it to blossom two days later than our earliest and best strain of Extra Early, and in the development of pods suitable for picking, 3 or 4 days behind; but the remarkable produe- tiveness and length of pod have followed this strain all through all these years, many of the plants containing 40 to 50 fully developed pods as the result of one seed sown; and I believe this pea will give a yield of 30 to 50 per cent. more than any other strain of extra earlies I know of.’ My trials of Prolifie Early Market induce me to value it very highly, as above stated. The seed resembles the seed of the hard, round, extra early sorts, but is somewhat wrinkled. But the point or characteristic which I desire most to empha- size is that this variety is very prolific, a thing of extreme - importance in a first early pea.

HENRY MAULE, PHILADELPHIA, PA. »» Maule’s Prodigious or Prinee Edward The Giant of the Pea Family In 1901, in connection with Cooper, Taber & Co., of London, England, I first offered this pea to the American public; they offering it as Prince Edward, I calling it Prodigious, on account of the enormous size of its pods. It has now been ten years since | catalogued this variety, an it is still one of my best selling specialties, but until last year 1 have not been able to offer it in as large quantities as by the bushel. Around New Haven, Conn., the market garden- ers cannot get enough of these peas, in fact, all along Long Island Sound, this pea is considered one of the most profitable varieties for the trucker, and as soon as its merits 7 ly Y become more largely known, there will be an enormous demand for it from market gardeners all over the country. There are few varieties of seed in this catalogue that are better named than this pea. Nothing more nearly expresses its one remarkable characteristic than its name yy Prodigious. When you consider that this variety will produce pods attaining / the extraordinary length of 7 inches and upwards, closely packed with 11 to 18 large, dark green peas of fine flavor, every reader of this book must admit it is wellnamed. For exhibition purposes it is simply unsurpassed. Exhibited at all the leading shows in England, the last 8 years, it has always taken first prize, and it will create just as much excitement in America as it has there. The plant is of branching habit, growing about 6 feet in height, with dark green foliage. It is of very vigorous and robust constitution, which enables it to withstand drought and mildew. The pods are produced in great profusion, mostly in pairs. Prodigious cannot be excelled as an exhibition sort, on account of its striking and very attractive appear- ance; and will also be in demand wherever there is a call for a pea of robust habit, fine quality and hardy constitution. Market garden- ers who do not know Prodigious should give it a trial. There are thousands of my customers who will be delighted to show their friends such enormous pods of peas, the largest, by far, they have ever seen, which in addition to large size combine rich and succu- lent flavor.

Choice for Snap Shorts Unsurpassed by Any Other Sort This splendid sugar pea fully maintains its repu- tation as a choice table variety. Indeed, my-sales of the seed increase year by year. The peas are not shelled, but the pod is eaten like a snap bean. The pods are stringless, and in flavor, brittleness and succulence are unexcelled. The vines are very tall, reaching a height of 5 or 6 feet and requiring sup- port. The full grown pods are 6 to7 inches long and 14% inches broad, and are produced continuously for a considerable period, the vines having great bear- ing capacity on account of their height. The pods are sometimes sliced for cooking, because of their size, and may be served with butter or white sauce. They can be made ready for the table in 10 or 15 minutes, and are good even when quite old. Excel- lent also for pickles. The sweetness and tenderness of this edible-podded pea insure it a permanent place in the garden. It should be tried where bush beans and snap shorts are relished.

The potatoes grow closely in the hill, and are of large and nearly uniform size. Mr. T. B. Terry, the well- known Ohio potato grower, made a comparative test of Maule’s Early Thoroughbred with a potato in favor in his neighborhood, the result being as 45 to 15 in favor of the former, or atthe rate of 240 bushels an acre for Early Thor- oughbred Potato. ‘‘In every hill,” says Mr. Terry, ‘there were great large, = beautiful potatoes, such as I have never Ai ; = seen’ since the first year the old) Early MAULE’S EARLY THOROUGHBRED POTATO.

Pure Early Rose An Old Standard Favorite Sort Every farmer and gardener knows the old Early Rose pota- to, and nothing need be said in its favor. It has no faults, except that ill treatment and neglect sometimes cause a poor or weak strain to be put on the market under the name of Early Rose seed potatoes. I have been at great pains, there- fore, to get a true, strong strain of Early Rose grown in the far North, for my stock, and I can offer it as the purest and best that can be had. Indeed it is the old Early Rose itself, as vigorous and productive as ever. Early Rose will never go — out of fashion as long as the original stock can be obtained.

Sir Walter Raleigh The Champion Late Sort A white-skin, main crop or late potato; the best of Mr. Carman’s introductions. It is a magnifi- cent new potato, much resembling Rural New Yorker No. 2, of which it is aseedling. It is decid- edly better than its parent, the tubers being quite uniform in size, with but few small ones among \ them. It is from four to six days later than the I) parentstock. The color is the same, the skin and ) flesh being white. In fact, it can be justly claimed for Sir Walter Raleigh that it is the whitest fleshed and finest grained potato on the whole list of main-crop varieties, not even excepting the ki Snowflake; and it promises to supersede all. other | sorts of its class on account of its sterling excel- lence. On the trial grounds of the Rural New Yorker it proved the best and heaviest cropper of 49 va- rieties. It does wonderfully well on my trial grounds at Briar Crest and Panmure. In field cul- ture it has gone above 450 bushels to the acre. Its record in all respects entitles it to rank with the very best late potatoes now grown upon Ameri- can soil, and no progressive cultivator should fail to give it a trial. : Lb., 30 cts.; 3 lbs., 75 cts., by mail, postpaid, By express or freight, not prepaid, peck, 75 cts.; bushel, $2.25; barrel, $4.'75. a SIR WALTER RALEIGH POTATO. 7 ; i ; TTT | ip Cacnien Trish Cobbler ae 7p, A World Wide Favorite y/ \\\, SF It is a most excellent extra early variety, maturing good size tubers seven weeks from time of planting.

It is now most widely known under thename of 1834. It isof a beautiful ivory color, and of crisp, brittle texture. That it has been in fayor 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.

I have tested nearly every variety sent out, and have originated many varie- ites myself, but nothing has ever come to my notice that will equal Just So. They mature very early. I was 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. I never saw such a sight; they were like peas in a pod, all alike; one crowding the other out of the ground. Every seed produced a fine radish, and this on poor, gravelly soil which has had no manure applied in years. For forcing in hot or cold beds they have no equal. I have tested them in every way, and am Satisfied.”” Pkt., 10c.3 02z., 15¢.3 14 Ib., 40c.; 1b., $1.25. sa Lightning Scarlet Turnip Radish Truly a little gem for bunching, and one of the most profitable for ; forcing.

Even ordinary horse radish is a very profitable crop, but with this magnificent new sort from Bohemia the possibilities are wonderful. Culture same as for ordinary kinds, but the roots are so much larger and heavier that the yield is about doubled. Then, too, it matures so much quicker that the crop can be sold in October. The flesh is pure white. Three and four tons per acre can be grown easily. This grand variety was found in Bohemia by Mr. David Fairchild, Agricultural 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 mail, postpaid.

Vegetable Seeds—87 Winter Squashes «s Maule’s Improved Hubbard THE ACKNOWLEDGED STANDARD FOR QUALITY More people in more places plant the Hubbard Squash than any other sort; that is, it is the American favorite. It out-sells all other varieties in winter in the great Hastern markets, It is an especial favorite in New York and New England, but reaches perfection almost everywhere at the North from ocean to ocean. Thousands and tens of thousands of » barrels of Hubbards are annually disposed of in Philadelphia, New York and Boston. While the average strain is good there are differences 1n the Hubbard type which should be recognized by progressive gardeners. Maule’s Improved Hubbard represents the perfection of the type. It is the choicest type of Hubbard grown. The flesh is of arich yellow or orange color, and is very fine grained, solid, dry and sweet. The toughness of the rind or shell makes it a good keeper. The color varies somewhat, being sometimes green and sometimes reddish when mature; but the color and quality of the flesh are fixed and unchangeable—always a deep golden yellow or orange.

HENRY MAULE, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Maule’s Improved Mastodon Corn The Earliest of all the Large Eared Varieties Has a Record of 213 Bushels of Shelled Corn to the Acre In the celebrated American Agriculturist corn contest, Imp. Mastodon outyielded every other yellow corn. On the farm of Alfred Rose, Yates county, New York, it produced 213 bushels of shelled corn to the acre, and on the farm of George Cartner, Pawnee county, Nebraska, it produced 171 bushels of shelled corn to the acre. In both cases I furnished the seed. There has been a brisk demand for this corn for years past, and my supply has not infrequently been completely exhausted early in the season. I regret to believe that unscrupulous dealers have sold a great deal of inferior or impure seed under the name of Mastodon, thus deceiving their customers and injuring the reputation of a noble variety of corn. My suggestion is, therefore, that purchases be made only from reliable neighbors who have raised the stock or that orders be sent direct to me at 1711 Filbert street, Philadelphia, for the true headquarters seed, and run no risk. Maule’s Improved Harly Mastodon combines large yield, large grains and extra early quality to a remarkable degree. It originated with Mr. C. 8. Clark, of Ohio, probably the largest grower of seed corn in America. Mr. Clark grows every variety of corn known to the American public, and claims Mastodon to be the best of all. He truly says that it is a high bred corn of beautiful color. Nothing surpasses it in number of rows on cob, and in depth of grains. It makes fine looking shelled corn, showing two shades of color, and commanding the highest price in market. Mr. Clark further states that it fully withstands the rigor of this Northern climate, makes a rapid, strong and rank growth, attains a good height, “and will outyield any corn ever grown in this section. * * * It was grown and ripened in from 96 to 110 days within eight miles of Lake Hrie. Fields planted June 1 were cut September 15.” “The Mastodon is three weeks to one month earlier than Golden Beauty, \ growing side by side, and planted the same week. How can it be otherwise? It is crossed with the two earliest corns ever grown in the North—the White Cap and Harly Yellow Dent.” . Packet, 10 cents; pound, 35 cents; 3 pounds, 90 cents, postpaid.

Long’s White Tartar Oats In the greatest oats section of Western New York, these oats have created considerable excitement for the last few years, and last season, where they could get the seed, it was purchased by farmers to the exclusion of all other varieties. This improved strain of oats was originally obtained by selecting the largest and most vigorous plants from an extra. @=> good stock of Improved White Tartar; by continuing this selection for a number of years, Mr. Long so improved the variety in vigor and productiveness, that it earned the right to be properly called Long’s White Tartar Oats. These oats have immense heads of grain, often measuring a foot long, and always well filled; the straw is very large, strong and stiff, and less liable to lodge than any other variety. The seed is large, plump and heavy, pure white and with thin hulls. Furthermore, they are earlier by several days than any other variety. From my experience with it the past sea- son, [ am convinced that White Tartar will yield at least 15 bushels per acre more than any other variety, and from 20 to 80 bushels more than common oats. Last year we got a yield of 91 bushels per acre on a 7-acre field, and 74 bushels per acre on a 26-acre field, the latter not yielding as well as the first on account of late sowing. There is ‘pound to be an enormous demand for this variety this = season, and while I have quite a large quantity in store, I have no doubt I shall be sold out before the season is over, hence, would advise early orders from all my cus- tomers desiring these oats in quantity.

New White Plume Oats Originated in Western New York From Selected Heads Froma Field of White Tartar A new variety of oats furnished me by Mr. G. W. Ketchum @ prominent oat grower in Western New York. He has this to say: “T have grown several varieties of oats for many years, but I con- sider ‘New White Plume’ the best white side oat I have ever raised.” This new oat produces very large heads of heavy white grains, is a heavy cropper, and matures very early in the season. This season one field, from which our seed oats of White Plume was harvested, averaged 82 bushels to the acre, weighing almost 40 pounds to a measured bushel. The tall stiff straw produces large, plump, thick berries with a thin shuck, is a vigorous grower unusually heavy in weight, and the best of yielders. White Plume does not lodge, and is free from smut. As this is its first season, I have only a few hundred bushels of this oat to offer, so advise i ‘ sending in your order as early as possible. HX.

Over 100 Bushels Per Acre It originated in central New York, and has already been widely tested and approved. First offered in 1902, and it met everybody’s expectations fully. The yield of Golden Fleece oats has reached as much as 4,752 pounds of cleaned seed per acre. This is 108 bushels of 44 pounds each, or nearly 150 bushels of 82 pounds each. The large white grains are plump and handsome. The straw is very strong, and stands up well. The blade is double the size of ordinary oats, which attests the vigor and productive capacity of the strain. Golden Fleece is remarkable for its great stooling capacity, and for this reason the seeding requirements are lighter than with most other sorts. I believe that this grand oats, by reason of its unusual vigor, will prove distinctly profitable in many places where the oats crop has heretofore been a failure, or only a partial success. In all oats growing sections the Golden Fleece will prove to be a perfect treasure, not only in the way of heavy production but in point of quality.

Just What Its Name Implies I take satisfaction in the conspicuous and universal success of this highly profitable oats. No, better name than Mortgage Lifter could have been selected for it, as it is a first-class cropper, early to mature, and of unusually heavy weight. The straw is strong and stiff, and is thus far free from rust. It is so strong and thrifty that neither freezing weather, protracted drought, heavy rain, nor hot wind seems to have much effect upon its growth. It appears able to go right along from start to finish almost without regard to weather or conditions. Mortgage Lifter is as bright and white as a new silver dollar, with a hull as thin as a sheet of paper. “We have raised,’ says the originator, ‘‘a hundred bushels to the acre.”” A yield like this is uncommon, but yields of 60, 70 or 80 bushels can be obtained by any good farmer with careful culture. My opinion of Mortgage Lifter oats is very high. Pkt., 10c.; lb., 25c.; 3 lbs., 65c., postpaid.

Rapeis a plant of the cabbage family, requiring the same cultural treatment as the turnip. It is grown exclusively for its leaves. Stock should be fed alternately on grass and rape; notonrapeexclusively. Rape-fed animals Should have free access to salt. The seed should be sown in May, for midsummer pasturage; or any time before the end of August (at the North) for autumn pasturage. In the Southern States the best sowing time is September or October. Rape isa plant which loves cool weather, and thrives better in autumn than in midsummer. The seed should be used at the rate of 8 pounds per acre in drills, or 5 pounds per acre broad- cast. Rape is an excellent green manure for plowing down. Packet, 10 cts.; pound, 25 cts.; 5 pounds, $1.00, postpaid.

THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1911 Cow peas have long been grown in the South as forage crops and soil improvers. The Practical Farmer, of Philadelphia, has constantly urged their importance. The Cow Peas cease TH ma: result has been that the attention of the Northern farmers has been attracted to the crop, and the culture has been greatly extended as varieties have been introduced that ripen anywhere in the - North. They will thrive where clover will not grow. They must not be sown till the soil is warm. Where wheat — follows the oat crop, the peas can be sown after oats are harvested and will make a growth to turn under for wheat that will improve the crop. The early 70-day sorts are best for this purpose; the running varieties for earlier Sowing for hay. The crop of hay even on land of only moderate fertility will be more than 2 tons per acre. New Revenue The originator says: ‘New Revenue is all I claim it to be. I do not offer it as a field pea but as a garden pea. The table varieties of the cow pea are almost unknown out of the South, but area staple article of food there. Such sorts as Black Eye, Lady and Rice are extensively grown for table use. Revenue lays all these sorts in the shade. I have had ten years’ experi- ence in testing and crossing the different types of cow peas, and I know this to be the most valuable all-around pea ever offered. It is early, productive and an ex- tremely rank grower. The green pods are splendid as snap beans, delicious hulled and used while green as lima beans, and excellent in the dried state, boiled or baked as navy beans, or used in soups. Makes as large @ growth of vines as the Wonderful, 8 to 15 feet long, and covered the entire ground to a depth of 2 or 38 feet with a dense growth of vines. It outyields any other pea I am acquainted with. In average seasons Reve- nue matures in 90 days. The pods are fit for use in 70 to 75 days. It is not quite so early as Black Hye, but is by far the earliest of all the heavy growing sorts. It will yield more peas than any sort J have tested. The peas are large and well crowded in the pods. ‘So pro- ductive is this pea that a small packet, planted two peas in a hill, 8 or 4 feet apart each way, will produce enough edible peas or pods for an average family.’ Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 30 cts.; quart, 50 cts., post= paid.

Panmure Early Wonder This is a valuable early and productive variety, yields enormously of shelled peas, which are excellent for table use during the winter. It makes an ordinary vine, not so rank as some other varieties; the stems that support the pods stand erect 6 to 10 inches above all the vines, having 3 to 6 pods to each stem, and some pods contain as many as 20 peas, making them very easy to gather by handpicking, producing an average yield of 40 bushels shelfed peas per acre, A good soil improver and relished by all farm stock.

The Clay This is so called from the color of the seed, which is the color of reddish yellow clay. The plant is of the same season and habit of growth as the Black, and like the Black has ripened at Ithaca, New York. Many growers in the South prefer it to the large Black because of the fineness of the growth, which makes it easier to cure. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts., postpaid.

It is a strong grower and moderate trailer.’ It will mature seed in about 60 days. Avery valuable hay crop can be made from it in the North, especially on sandy soils. it is grown mainly for table use, and takes the place of the white beans in the North. The peas bring a higher price on the general market in the South than any other variety. As a soup pea it soon becomes popular when tried. Packet, 10 cts.; pint., 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts., postpaid.

It was formerly known in the South by the names Quadroon and the Unknown, but the wonderful growth and pro- fusion of fruiting has given to it the present name. Its first growth is very erect, but later in the season it runs rampantly, making vines fully 15 feet long over the top of the erect growth; and though making so tangled a growth is rather easy to save because of the erect lower growth. It is the latest of all the cow peas and seldom matures seed north of Central Virginia or Dela- ware. But as a soil improver, to be plowed under in the late fall, there is no plant that will equal it. For Silage making it will be found very good.

CLOVERS AND GRASSES NOTE.—Peck, Bushel and 100-pound prices on Clovers and Grasses are net figures January 1, 1911, and subject to market changes. I pride myself there is no house in America that takes such extraordinary care in harvesting, cleaning and placing on the market a more superior grade of grass seed than my establishment. No better illustration of the extra quality of Maule’s rass seed can be shown than the following: Mr. A. J. Cassatt seeded down on his celebrated Chesterbrook Farm in hester Valley, a 35-acre field of Maule’s Kentucky Blue Grass; as I expected, it was the admiration of the many visitors to the farm; nor was I surprised when the manager, Mr. Penn Smith, informed me that at least a dozen of Kentucky's most celebrated horse breeders visiting Chesterbrook pronounced the field of Blue Grass superior to anything in their State. This is only one of many Similar instances I could give if I had the space. My prices may be a little higher than others, but you can depend upon the seed being worth the money, and I need only add in conclusion that for the last ten years the demand for Maule’s grass seed each year has always increased, so that now it has reached yery large proportions.

It is a perennial plant, lasting many years under good treatment, and may be cut several times each sea- son when well established. Alfalfa roots not infrequently descend 10 or more feet into the soil, indicating ability to resist drought. Recent experiments at the New Jersey sta- tion show that alfalfa has an extremely high value as a forage crop in the East. It should be tried by all dairymen. Use 15 to 25 pounds of seed per acre. Sow in April and May, or July and August on well limed land. An alfalfa field is worthy of all care and expense required to produce it. Bulletin No. 148 of N.

Its component parts are the grasses peculiarly adapted to lawns and door yards, including choice selected strains of Kentucky Blue, ete., along with the best known creeping or sod forming sorts. I have included a little white clover in the mixture, regarding it as essential, but will omit it on special request. Timothy and orchard grass are wholly excluded, on account of their coarse leaves, and only fine sorts are employed. Full provision is made for a succession of growth, so that there shall be no break in the richness of the verdure from spring until autumn, and experience proves that Maule’s Extra Lawn Grass Mixture is now perfect. Nothing better can be purchased on the American market, no matter what claims may be advanced by other seedsmen. My friends will please note that this seed is sold by the bushel of 20 pounds, while some seedsmen sell a bushel weighing only 14 pounds. This is because I employ the choicest and heaviest strains of grass seed in making the mixture. As to preparation of the soil, I recommend a thorough working and manuring to a depth of 8 or 9 inches, and a regular semi-annual application of top dressing after- ward. It is a good practice to use well-rotted stable manure in the autumn and a complete fertilizer carrying potash, like Maule’s Pan- mure Plant Food, in the spring; also, to renovate the lawn every spring with a little fresh seed, using a quarter or a third the quantity employed in the original seeding. Grass seed should be sown in April or Sep- tember. Use 1 quart to 300 square feet of ground, or 1 bushel will sow a plot 100 feet wide and 108 feet long or 4 bushels per acre. Maule’s Extra Lawn Grass Mixture cannot be excelled for quality and vitality. Quart, 25 cents; 2 quarts, 45 cents; 5 quarts, $1.00, postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, peck, $1.50; bushel (20 lbs.), $5.00; 4 bushels, $17.50. Maule’s Quick Results Lawn Mixture This mixture is for producing an immediate greensward that will be followed by a good, permanent sod. It is especially to be reeommended for late spring seeding, without a nurse crop. For early seeding I would rather use Maule’s Extra Lawn Grass Mixture, but after May Ist (in the latitude of Philadelphia) I would much prefer this one. It will make rapid growth, and will be ready to cut two weeks or more in advance of any other mixture which I offer; nor is it lacking in per- manence. Qt., 25 cts.; 2 qts., £5 cts.; 5 qts.. $1.00, postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, pk., $1.25; bu., $4.00. Maule’s Shady Lawn Mixture This mixture is intended for all situations that are in partial or com- plete shade, and will be found invaluable on grounds lying under the shadows of trees or buildings. In preparing such places for the recep- tion of grass seeds it is well to use air slaked lime quite liberally (50 bushels to the acre). The lime sweetens the land and wonderfully aids the growth of the grass. Lime will be found particularly effective in open woodlands where grass is desired. This mixture is adapted to its purpose. Qt., 30 cts.; 2 qts., 50 cts.3 5 qts., $1.10, postpaid. By ex- press or freight, not prepaid, peck, $1.50; bushel (15 lbs.), $5.00. Maule’s Steep Slope Mixture This is for banks, terraces, steep or exposed slopes and bare spots in general; in fact, for any place, however dry, stony or barren. It will produce a sod that is absolutely proof againstheat or drought, and that cannot be injured by cold. The grasses produce strong, spreading roots, thus preventing heavy rains from washing them out; will withstand exposure, thrives on shallow soils, and at the Same time produces a rich, velvety green turf throughout the season. I recom- mend, however, the same fair treatment elsewhere asked for; that is, semi-annual top dressings of fertilizers or manures, in order to main- tain the vigor of the grasses.

WM. HENRY MAULE, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Pasture and Golf Grasses—109 SSS SS SS A FIELD OF MAULE’S PERMANENT PASTURE GRASS. Maule’s Three Permanent Pasture Mixtures It is true beyond all question that a mixture of grasses produces a better mowing field and subsequent permanent pasture than a mere combination of timothy and red clover. The former will last five times as long as the latter. Timothy “runs out” in a couple of years or so, while a good permanent pasture will last ten or even twenty years. This has been frequently and forcibly Shown by experience. My com- pleted mixtures are sold in two parts, one containing grass seeds and the other clover seeds, to be sown separately, on account of their differ- ent weights. The grass seeds may be sown in spring or fall; the clover seeds preferably in the Spring. In preparing the permanent pasture grass mixtures I employ mainly Kentucky Blue, Timothy, English Rye, Italian Rye, Red Top or Herd, Orchard, Tall Meadow Oat, Meadow Foxtail, Meadow Fescue, Hard Fescue, Tall Fescue, Rough Stalk Mea- dow, Canadian Blue, Awnless Brome, Creeping Bent, Sweet Vernal, ete. In the clover mixture I employ Red, Mammoth, Alsike and White. A few of these components will disappear in two or three years, but the others are absolutely permanent. I vary the proportions to suit differ- ent situations. Maule’s Permanent Pasture Mixture for Light and Sandy Soils. —Use at the rate of 56 pounds (4 bushels) per acre. Bu., $2.5; 4 bus., enough for an acre, $10.00. The suitable clovers are included. Maule’s Permanent Pasture Mixture for Average Soils.—For general use, everywhere. Sow at the rate of 42 lbs. (3 bus.) per acre. Bu., $3.50; 3 bus. mixed grass seeds and 10 Ibs. mixed clover, $12.00. Maule’s Permanent Pasture Mixture for Heavy Soils.—Use at the rate of 42 pounds (3 bushels) per acre. Bushel $3.00; 3 bushels mixed grass seeds and 10 pounds mixed clover seeds, $10.50. Pasture mixtures are shipped by express or freight, not prepaid. Maule’s Fair Green Golf Mixture This mixture is compounded to produce a tough sod that will resist tramping and hard usage. Year after year I have supplied this seed to the most prominent golf clubs in the country. It is made up mainly of hardy, low growing, creeping grasses, which are not hurt by constant mowing and ceaseless wear. This mixture will produce a rich green turf; a turf which asks only for a semi-annual top dressing of fertilizer to last indefinitely. Seed should be applied in liberal amounts; fully 75 pounds per acre. Qt., 25 cts.3 2 qts., 45 cts.; 5 qts., $1.00, post-= paid. By express or freight, not prepaid, peck, $1.00; bushel (15 lbs.), $3.25; 10 bushels, $30.00; 100 bushels, $2.75 per bushel. Maule’s Putting Green Golf Mixture It is impossible to have a putting green too much like a piece of vel- vet, and I have been careful in the preparation of this mixture to select the finest blend and most hardy of the low growing grasses and have only to urge upon the owners of golf grounds to see that the putting greens are fertilized twice a year (early spring and late fall) with finely ground bone meal; or (in the autumn) with rotted manure passed through a fine screen. With a proper preparation of the soil in PUTTING GREEN SOWN WITH MAULE’S PUTTING GREEN GOLF MIXTURE, advance of growing the seed, and with good after treatment, no better or more beautiful results can possibly be secured than with Maule’s Putting Green Golf Mixture, at the rate of fully 20 pounds to 10,000 Square feet. Quart, 35 cts.; 2 quarts, 60 cts.; 5 quarts, $1.25, postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, peck, $1.75; bushel (20 lbs.), $6.00; 5 bushels, $27.50; 10 bushels, $50.00.

For Out-door Use For all gardening operations I recommend the use of Panmure Plant Food at the rate of 1,000 to 2,006 pounds per acre, in connection with a liberal amount of stable manure, or else upon sod spaded down or plowed under. This may sound like a large amount of high-grade fertilizer to use, but it is no more than is applied by the commercial gardeners and truckers near the great cities. It is better to make several applications of ferti- lizer during a year than to put it all in at one time. Panmure Plant Food is constructed for both quick For the Lawn. and permanent action. Itis, therefore, an admir- able thing for grass. I haye used it with the most excellent results on grass, clover and forage plants. It produces a rich, green, healthy color, and a vigorous growth. It is just right for the lawn, and may be used in spring, summer or autumn. A 10-pound package of Panmure Plant Food is quite sufficient for four square rods of lawn. For General Farming. For general farm crops I recommend 300 to 400 pounds per acre of Panmure Plant Food. This fertilizer is absolutely the best for farm purposes within my knowledge. It will give grand results on wheat, oats, corn and hay, and also on meadows, mowing fields and pastures. I have tested it upon almost every farm crop, in my Panmure trials, and have been myself surprised at the results. Ammonia, 4 per cent. Available Phosphoric Acid, § per cent.

It has been used long enough for me now truthfully to say that it has added hundreds and even thousands*. of dollars to the value of my own crops, both at Panmure, New Jersey, and at Briar Crest, Pennsylvania. i This excellent fertilizer contains enough ammonia to insure plants a quick start, enough phosphoric acid for © all seed growing or grain growing purposes, and enough potash to give flavor to fruit and brilliance to flowers. is not only well and liberally supplied with plant foods, but these foods are perfectly balanced.

It is not only a starter but a pusher. it is not a hot fertilizer, though I recommend that it be mixed well with the soil, in order to extend the action of the roots.

Thoroughbred Pigs Many of my customers are not aware of the fact that ue more than thirty years I have furnished thoroughbred Chester White, Berkshire and Poland China pigs to hundreds of customers in almost every State in the Union. I have not listed them in my catalogue for some years past, but as I expect an unusually choice supply “of young pigs the coming spring, I have decided to give them a notice this year, and quote first-class Chester W hite, Berkshire and Poland China pigs, entitled to registry, at the following prices: Single pig, 2 to 3 months old, $20.00; Pair, boar and sow not akin, $35.00; Trio, boar and 2 sows not akin, $45.00, carefully boxed and delivered on board of cars here with feed, purchaser paying express charges. I always guarantee safe arrival. These pigs will be ready to ship in April or May. Early orders will receive first choice, so the earlier your order accoin panied by the cash, is received, the better the selection. Thoroughbred Single Comb Buff Leghorns and Rose Comb Black Minorcas I can also furnish a choice strain of eggs of the above mentioned breeds, at the following prices: $3.00 per 15; $5.00 per 30; $15.00 per 100, carefully packed on board cars here, ‘purchaser paying express charges, safe arrival guaranteed. My supply of these cggs is somewhat li mited, so early orders are solicited. These are the only two breeds of eggs I can furnish, so correspondence is unnecessary regarding others. Scotch Collies I can furnish a few Scotch Collie pups, 3 to 4 months oid, pedigreedstock, at $25.00each. SWEET PEAS - (\CALL/OPS/S - HYBRIDA SUPERBA _ ee 4 ea, .

CARNATIONS Hardy Perennial The so-called carnations have within recent decades developed into types of rare beauty and fra- grance. The Marguerite carnations are among the best of the class. The Picotees are carnations with white flowers, trimmed, spotted or edged Witu some other color. Most of the carnations are quite hardy, surviv- ing the winter if given a slight pro- tection. No flowers are more lovely. Seeds sown thinly in the open ground, in spring, will bloom the tlrst Season. 1192 CARNATIONS AND PIC- OTEES, FINES'T MIXED.

I regard these glor- ious flowers as the best of all the so-called pinks, especially for the open garden. The Marguerite carnation is ready to bloom in a few weeks from the sowing of the seed, and is the most profuse blocmer of the whole group of pinks. The plants are of compact and robust growth, but of dwarf habit. They are easily managed, and make the best of bedding plants. They may be treated as annuals, or wintered (under some protection) in the open air. They make admirable win- dow plants, and may be potted for this purpose in the autumn. The best plan, perhaps, is to sow fresh seed every spring, 80 as always to have vigorous young plants for summer, autumn and winter blooming. The flowers are extremely fragrant. The size of bloom is 2 inches, or even up to3inches. The colors include rose, white, scarlet, yellow, etc. Some are plain and some striped. All are excellent. AJ) colors. 1194 Rose.

Henry Maule, the well-known mail order Philadelphia Seedsman, has worked under a handicap for lack of room. A considerable part of his seed business has been carried on in a building owned by him on Market Street, and in which are the offices of his paper, The Practical Farmer. Recently Mr. Maule has leased the building immediately ad- joining his main office at 1711 Filbert street and, as this will give him five additional floors, it wil! help to solve the problem he has been wrestling with for several years. He Proposes tO cut doors through from his building into the next on each floor, and when his plang are perfected he will be able to employ a larger force during the annual spring rush, and will probably be prepared to take care of all business within twenty-four hours after his orders are re- ceived. ‘Mr. Maule {s one of the most progres- sive and, it may be added, aggressive men in the seed business, and there are few im- provements of a practical character that he does not avail himself of.” CELOSsIA, SPICATA, Broad, white leaves; 1 foot.

Ma q Double Extra Large Flowering petunias are without doubt the finest ever Offered to the public. For years I have made a specialty of this strain, constantly improving it by selection. The flowers assume great- er size and richness as time elapses, and the type ever becomes more desirable. In color, shape, markings and texture it is all that can be de- sired. The numerous petals are more or less folded, fringed and shaded and the result is a flower of unexcelled quality and beauty. The plant is strong, stocky and vigorous, and foliage pleasing.

Radiating from the throat in a large proportion of the blooms are five handsome yellow blotches, making a more or less regular star, and producing a decidedly novel and interesting effect. Color combination is pleasing; the vein- ing of the petal is exquisite and indicates high breeding.

My customers are so delighted with their @ bargains and tell so many of their friends about the liberality of the offer that each season I dispose of a large number of these popular $1.00 Bulb Collections. The proposition in a nutshell follows: Every year, May 1st, I have several thousand bulbs on hand, for it is an absolute impossibility to sell out everything. This year I propose to distribute at least part of this surplus among my friends in the following manner: Send me $1.00 any time before May Ist, and I will book your order for 100 choice bulbs, my selection, to be filled in rotation as received, after May 1st.

The package will go by express, purchaser to pay transportation charges. Remember, please, that this offer is for surplus bulbs only, and hence I must select the varieties.
