Vegetable Seeds—5 ) » New White Seeded Stringless Green Pod Bush Bean Here is a new bean of remarkable merit and offered by me this year for the first time.

Itis a green pod bean, per- fectly stringless, but white seeded. The seed can be used for soup or baked beans all winter where the ordinary green bean would be useless.

The pods are round, plump and perfectly stringless. The seeds are white, and their color makes them sell quickly in the ripe or dry state. Its enormous yield, fine table quality and freedom from string place it in the front rank, and make it of peculiar: value to the private grower, the market gar- dener and the canner. The vine is of the bush type, with {2% strong and vigorous growth, with the load of pods carried well above the soil. In addition to this, spikelets are thrown out above the foliage, which in turn produce pods, thus adding materially to the total yield of the plant. Imperial is very early, free from rust and blight, and produces marketable pods very quickly. Itripens so early that it can be harvested before the late August rains.

I offered in my 1903 catalogue $100 in cash prizes for a suitable name for Profusion jj, Wax Bean. More than 10,000 names were suggested by my customers, six of iW /) whom selected the name Profusion Wax, which I considered the most appropriate \\\4 for the variety, and the hundred dollar prize was divided among them. The illus- / tration herewith is no exaggeration whatever. The vines are literally covered with . WY \ very large size, and always full of meat, brittle and string- less. In addition to these good qualities it is very early and continues in bearing a long time. Profusion Wax will hold its own at all times against strongest competition.

The pods are flat and succulent, and are borne in great profusion, and I commend it to the public as a superior wax bush bean.

Maule’s Blood Turnip The Best of Them All Beets may come and beets may go, but this old standby still retains its position at the head of my list, and for years the square inches of catalogue space occupied by illustrations and descriptions of this variety have been by all odds some of the most profitable in my whole Seed Book. Last year I sold 23,824 separate 10-cent packets of this beet. To 8,301 other customers I sold an ounce package. I doubt if so many packets and ounces of any beet previously introduced by other seedsmen were sold at retail to so many different customers. 1| first gave prominent notice to Maule’s Blood Turnip Beet in my catalogue for 1889; the sales then were large, but today, 24 years later, they are four times greater than ever. A consistent steady demand from the same people year after year for from 10 to 25 pounds of this variety should be sufficient endorsement for all gardeners to know that in planting Maule’s Blood Turnip, they are planting as good a turnip beet as can be found the world over, and a variety that owing to its small top makes it especially desirable for bunching. Maule’s Blood Turnip Beet’ is very early, nearly as early as Egyptian, and greatly surpasses that variety in flavor. The color is a rich dark red, and shape is globular. It is free from side or fibrous roots, being always smooth. It is excellent for forcing for a main spring or summer crop, or for use in winter, as it is a good keeper. It always euts and cooks a rich, dark blood red; is tender, sweet and crisp, and is in every way the standard sort for the market or home gardener. Has made a good crop seven weeks from sowing. Maule’s Blood Turnip Beet, so well illustrated on the front cover of this Seed Book, has long been regarded as the standard of excellence by more than 34,000 successful gardeners. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; quarter pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.75; 10 pounds, $15.00, postpaid. 14—Vegetable Seeds 67 Maule’s Alpha Beet is ready for market in 40 to 45 days from date of sowing. it is what I call a finely made-up beet, as shown in the illustration. Itis turnip shaped, with a dispo- sition to deepen to the half-long type; though by no means a half-long beet. It is deeper than Crosby’s Egyptian, with more body and more value. The shape of the beet indicates strong individual traits. The flesh is of a dark crimson color, MAULE’S ALPHA BEET. laule’s 71 THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR i913 Naule’s Alpha Beet with lighter rings, and is handsome in appearance, becoming solid crimson when cooked. ‘The top is small, which favors close planting, though this beet, in common with all others, matures most quickly when given plenty of room, say 4 ord inches in the row. It hasa rich, sweet flavor when cooked, and is tender and free from fibre or toughness. It is, in fact, by all odds, one of the best extra early table or market beets within my knowledge. Maule’s Alpha Beet is worthy of uni- versal trial by gardeners. It is good for the table and good for market, and will at once win public favor by reason of its ear- liness and its excellence.

The Only Rival of the Famed Surehead The Lupton cabbage began its career in 1888, on the eastern end of Long Island, in an extensive cabbage growing district. The origin- ator, whose name the cabbage bears, is undoubtedly the largest grower of first-class cabbage seed in America and every prominent seed firm in the country considers him an authority on this important subject. Lupton has some of the best traits of Surehead, with the size and general shape of Maule’s Prize Flat Dutch, but is several days earlier than the latter. Its growth is particularly strong and vigorous. Its color is a dark bluish green, indicating robust constitution and healthy development. The leaves are broad and well filled out to their juncture with the stem. The stem is short, and broad under the head, but tapers almost to a point where it enters the ground. The head is thick and flat, with the outer leaves covering it well across the centre. It is very large, solid, and of the most excellent quality, without any features of coarseness, the veins and ribs being well devel- = = oped, but not prominent.

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 teil 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, elegant for kraut; the cabbage keeps well, is a splendid shipper, and is a variety certain to give satisfaction.

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 fora 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.

Last year my sales of XX French grown Golden Self-Blanch- ing Celery exceeded $15,000. This year my first order, re- ceived last summer, was for 50 pounds, the second order 85 | pounds, both at $20.00 per pound. At the time these orders were booked I happened to be in France inspecting my crops, | which looked as if they would be nearly 123 per cent., but which I regret deteriorated to such an extent since last Aug- ust, that I really realized less than 5 per cent. The above two orders depleted my stock so much that I regret I can now offer Maule’s XX Golden Self-Blanching by the quarter pound only. Last year when my catalogue went to press I had more than 400 pounds on hand this year on going to press I have less than 200 pounds. The reason Maule’s XX French grown Self-Blanching is in such demand wherever good celery is appreciated is because it gives the best money return for the labor. In quality it ranks with the highest. It is equally in favor with the ama- teur and the market gardener. It is dwarf to half dwarf, growing 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 distintive feature of being | almost literally self-blanching. If wanted by the ounce or quarter pound, you should send in your order at as early a date as possible, as the seed is very much seareer than ever before, and while I have always been able to fill ounce and quarter pound orders, it looks this year as if early in the season I would have to decline orders for even these quantities.

Maule’s Colossal Early Sugar Corn == For the Home Garden or Market 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. Maule’s Colossal has three principal points that especially recommend it: First—Hatrliness. 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. Third—Size. It is undoubtedly the largest eared early sugar corn in existence, as the ears average from 7 to 9 inches in length, and frequently 2} to 3 inches in diameter, with 12 to 14 rows of large 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. Mr. C. S. Clark, of Ohio, one of the largest growers of sweet corn in America has this to say: “Your Colossal Sweet Corn planted May 14th, 1910, laid in the cold ground one month before it came up. This was due to the fact that May and the fore part of last June hold the record as the coldest months eyer known in Ohio at this sea- son 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 North- ern Ohio where hundreds of acres of all sorts are grown. “This is a fact, that it is the best field of sweet corn today in all this section. Therefore, we have a right to be more than pleased with this corn. The ears are nearly as large as Stow- ell’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 grow- ers will appreciate having this variety to come in just after the early sorts are gone and before the late sorts are ready. It is avery 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 8 feet from the ground, making it the most convenient corn to pick off the stalk I ever saw.” I had a crop grown in Connecticut by Mr. Willard, former President of the American Seed Trade Associa- tion. In writing to me he has this to say: “Weare much pleased with the appearance of this new Sweet corn, and think the name you haye chosen, ‘Colossal,’ would be very appropriate. The prospect is for an exceedingly nice yield. Itis early for a large eared variety, and I believe will prove to be a very popular sort.” wil : Colossal is a Genuine Money-Maker if There Ever Was One Read this story. A prominent market gardener of Philadelphia brought his first load of Colossal to mar- ket. It sold like hot cakes. The next time he came to town he had to put it under his stall so as not to disappoint his customers of the week before. It sold as quickly as before. With his second planting peo- ple would not take good Stowell’s or Country Gen- tlemen until they found him sold out of Colossal. This is only one case; there were hundreds similar, as this excellent Sugar Corn has become very popular amongst growers and canners everywhere. We are promised a large demand, and in consequence solicit early orders. Se Packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 50 cents; 2 quarts, os RMR NI oe 90 cents, postpaid.

Maule’s Ideal Early Corn 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 vitality 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. “I haye 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 afarmer; 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 subur- ban towns. ~ In earliness, any one 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.

When suitable for slicing the cucumbers are 6 to 7 inches long, crisp and of most delicious flavor. The vines are of extra vigorous growth and produce an abundance of fruits. Its extreme earliness is, however, its greatest recommendation, making it inval- uable.

Vegetable Seeds—39 THE DAVIS PERFECT CUCUMBER. «. 1ne Davis Perfect Cucumber Plant the Davis Perfect, and you will raise in the open ground, cucumbers that will sell in any market at same price as the high priced hot house forcing cucumbers. 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 tonone. Mr. Davis has for years been ‘forcing eucum~ 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 cucumber that beats anything I have ever seen. 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- The Davis Perfect has become the most popular | duced in the last few years; while a number of them have Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; quarter 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 itis known. Local market gardeners in Grand Rapids, Mr. Davis’ home, who make a specialty of growing cucumbers under glass, haye 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 itis. I predict the greatest sale any cucumber novelty has ever had for the 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. pound; 40 cents; pound, $1.50, postpaid. s Klondike Cucumber Excellent strain of White Spine, remarkable for the uniformly dark green skin of its shapely fruits.

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, has done as well the country over.

Vegetable Seeds—61 ANGEL’S KISS WATERMELON. « Angel’s Kiss This fine watermelon originated in Texas and my attention was first directed to it on account of its most remarkable name. After giving it a thorough trial at Panmure [I have come to the conclusion there is only one objection to this superb melon and that is its name. Angel’s Kiss originated with one of the largest Southern melon growers who named it Angel’s Kiss on account of its delicious flavor. It isa hand- some melon of large oblong shape, which is well shown in the illus- tration herewith. The flesh is bright red, solid, firm and of melting flavor. The vine is a remarkably strong vigorous grower and a heavy atermelon bearer of large mottled, silver gray melons with very tough thin rind. The melons measure from 20 to 30 inches in length, with an average weight of from 30 to 40 pounds each, ripening through and through and is one of the yery earliest good melons in cultivation.

SOW TOS G a Reuter uw Maule’s Commercial Onion My attention was first called to the Commercial Onion nine or ten years ago by one of the largest growers of onions in this country, who told me that he had been“for years selecting them from my original Prizetaker and breeding them down to a size that he considered more merchantable. His efforts haye been rewarded by securing an onion fully as handsome as the Prizetaker in every way; of more uniform size, and whose keeping qualities were simply remarkable and decid- edly superior to the parent variety. Six hundred bushels per acre have been no unusual yield, and this quantity has been frequently sur- — passed. Twenty-five years ago I introduced the Prizetaker onion, and in allthat time I have not found a single variety that could equal, let alone surpass it, in any way, until now. I take great pleasure in offering my customers Maule’s Commercial Onion, a variety that has proved as popular and equally as desirable.

In color the skin is deep purplish red. The fiesh is white, moderately grained, and of good character. One of my patrons grew 66,905 pounds of Maule’s Large Red Wethersfield onions on aSsingle acre of ground, some years ago, in competition for a prize of $250. Yields of 600 to 800 bushels per acre are not unusual. Onion seed value depends greatly upon the way the stock is selected and cared for, and the seed which 1 offer is of the earliest form, grown from hand sorted bulbs and sure to pro- duce large onions. Specimens of Maule’s Large Red Wethersfield weighing one or eyen two pounds the first year from seed are not uncom- mon, and there is a noteworthy uniformity of size, Scallions being unknown and is a magnifi- cent keeper. Many strains of Red Wethersfield are offered the American public, but my careful comparative tests convince me that none surpass the one here described.

MAULE’S NEAPOLITAN PEPPER. «1 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. Ten 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 investigation J 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 wecks 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.

Maule’s Improved Ruby King This pepper was introduced to the Ameri- an public more than a decade ago, and it at Hy once took conspicuous place and became the i leader of the sweet red sorts. I have every year sought to improve this already good pep- per. I can truthfully claim that every year my strain of Ruby King is better than the year before. JI have furnished this seed to tens of thousands of gardeners with the most satisfactory results, and my strain of this splendid stock is now noted for perfection of form, large size, brilliance of color, and sweet, mild flayor. So prominent are these desirable features that the words ‘Maule’s Improved” are properly attached to the name. The [i Ruby King pepper attains a larger size than _ Sweet Mountain or any other sort excepting Chinese Giant, and is excellent in every way.

Vegetable Seeds—71 «« Maule’s Tomato Pepper The illustration herewith, taken from a photograph, isan excellent representation of this new red pepper. As implied by its name, in shape and general appearance it very muchresembles a tomato, somuch so that nine persons out of ten, seeing it green or ripe, would at first glance say it was atomato. 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 crowth and must not be confused with the Red Squash; it is a much better pepper every way, enormously productive, and f ean be eaten out of the hand like an 4 apple, being of mild and delicate flavor. I have grown it at Panmure for 9 years, where it has excited the admiration of all visitors. AS soon as its merits become known, it is sure to prove a profitable market variety. It stays in bearing right through the season from early June until frost; and bulk for bulk will outyield even such a productive variety as Ruby King two to one, taking the entire season through.

Its shape is very attractive, and will com- mand general attention. The handsome long peppers grow about 5 to 7 inches long. It produces its fruit upright on the plant in wonderful pro- fusion. This is a strong feature, as none of the pep- pers are apt to rot at the ends.

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 _ 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 _yound and plump.

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 eyer seen yet.” Perpetual pea is everything its name implies. It grows about 244 to 3 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 mostremarkable everbearing pea that has ever come to my Enowledge.

The wrinkled green peas are very large, and uniformly well filled. 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 Gyradus 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. Planted side by side, it is frequently a hard matter to tell which is the better of the two varieties, hence, both are very popular with up-to-date market gardeners.

Potlatch or Big Dinner The Pea That Progressive Market Gardeners ; | are Going Wild Over At I am most fortunate indeed to be able to offer this great pea called Potlatch or Big Dinner. I had no idea the demand would be so large or that the pea would be so popular, as it was only about five years old; but it seems to me that every gardener who had ever tried Potlatch in small quantities wanted at least a sack or two, so that early in the season the entire crop throughout the whole country was completely exhausted. Potlatch is Chenook Indian for Big Dinner, hence the name Potlatch. The vines are vigorous, growing 15 to 18 inches high, with unusually dark green foliage, which can be distinguished from that of other peas a quarter of a mile away. The long pods are a rich dark green in color, often measuring 6 inches or more, with 9 to 11 enormous peas ina pod. The growth of vine is sturdy and pods are borne in pairs; it is a wonder in produc- tiveness, and the way the peas shell out is astonishing. Potlatch matures as early as Premium Gem; no yariety known will produce more pods, shell better, or con- tain more tender and delicious peas to the pod. Potlatch has become one of my leading varieties and has become so popu- lar with my market gardener friends that I expect to be sold out early in the season.

Te POTWATGH OR BIG == SS== DINNER PEA. Prolific Early Market 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. Eleven 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 797 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 produc- 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 [ 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 Prolific 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. ; Vegetable Seeds—77 « Maule’s Prodigious or Prince Edward ,, =F 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 twelve years since I catalogued this variety, andit is still one of my best selling specialties, but until the last few years 1 have not been ablé to offer it in as large quantities as by the peck. Around New Haven, Conn., the market gardeners 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 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 fcharacteristic than its name Prodigious. When you consider that this variety will produce pods attaining the extraordinary length of 7 inches and upwards, closely packed with 11 to 13 large, dark green peas of fine flavor, every reader of this book must admit it is wellnamed. For exhibition purposes it issimply unsurpassed. Exhibited at all the leading shows in England, the last 10 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 favor.

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 flayor, 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 1% inches broad, and are produced continuously for a considerable period, the vines haying 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 inthe garden. It is enormously productive of delicious pods, that a few packets of the seed will supply an ordinary family. It should be tried where bush beans and snap shorts are relished. I regret that this variety was almost a total failure. and I can offer it only in packets. Packet, 15 cts.; 2 packets, 25 cts., postpaid. MAMMOTH LUSCIOUS SUGAR PEA.

Eureka Extra Early Potato The Favorite Extra Early None More Quick to Mature More Proof Against Drought and Blight So Free from Second Growth As to its origin and history, the originator says of it: ‘Hureka Hxtra Early was a chance hill found growing in a field of Harly Morn potatoes, season of 1895.

The Freeman Potato ee 22 Years of Triumph NN AKAN NS - Sold for $3.00 Per Pound in 1891 The Freeman is a strong grower, contain- ing fresh, vigorous blood. It is early in reaching maturity; productive, and univer- sally admitted to be the finest flavored potato on the market. The tuber is oval in shape and russet in eolor. The flesh is very white, both raw and when cooked, fine grained and of best flavor. The greatest merits of this variety are its extreme earliness and long keeping qualities. Irom the time the tubers are as large as hens’ eggs until new potatoes come the next year they burst open when boiled with their jackets on, and appear snow white and floury. They grow very thickly and ripen sey- eral weeks in advance of Early Rose. I have frequently dug six to nine pounds from a single hill, and in rich ground there — are few small ones.

Maule’s Early Thoroughbred The Quickest Basket Filler Maule’s Early Thoroughbred was first offered to the public in 1896, at $25.00 a barrel, since which time I have received hundreds of reports of field erops running up to 300 bushels per acre. On account of its earliness it is not much affected by the usual mid- summer and autumn droughts, while in keeping qualities it is unsurpassed by any late variety under cultivation. The illustration does not in any way exaggerate its smooth and handsome appearance. It produces an unus- ually large proportion of merchant- abletubers. 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 15in favor of the former, orattherate of 240 bushels an acre for Early Thor- bn ih oughbred Potato. ‘‘In every hill,’ says : Pr Se ah DUM SS = = Mr. Terry, “there were great large, Lipa DUO ee ee ENR A beautiful potatoes, such as I have never = aT SA Ee seen since the first year the old Early MAULE’S EARLY THOROUGHBRED POTATO. | Rose came around.

It is a magnifi- cent late 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 parent stock. 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 Snowfiake; 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. Sueceeds everywhere and is the style of potato most in demand in the markets just now. AS a winter keeper I know of none better. No pro- gressive cultivator should fail to give it a trial.

Maule’s Success Tomato found a place for itself at once in the high esteem of every tomato grower who planted it. That it well deserves the name ‘‘Success’’ is borne out by the fact that, when I offered $100 for a name for this variety, 37 of my customers suggested the name Success. No other name would have been as appropriate, and no better title has been found for a new yegetable, fruit or flower for many a day. In shape Success is smooth, well formed and extremely deep from stem to blossom, making it unusually heavy.

Success is the heaviest for its size of any variety; on account of its brilliant red color, depth and solidity, is the handsomest main crop tomato I have ever seen. Almost 10,000 letters have come to hand from my customers, praising Success in the highest terms. On the market stall its beautiful appear- ance and color make it sell ahead of all sorts, and its unusual solidity, few seeds and desirable form make it the most desir- able canning variety known.

Vegetable Seeds—91 (Bright Red) ‘The Greatest of all Early Tomatoes Teday, 21 years after its introduction to the American public, it is still the leading extra early tomato, and all its name implies: Four Days to a Week Earlier Than Eartiana or any Other Extra Eariy Tomato Since 1892 my friends have made tens of thousands of dol- lars by planting Maule’s Earliest of All, and if you have not given this wonderful variety a trial you will neglect your own inter- ests if you do not include it in your order for 1913. Maule’s Earliest of Allis the best tomato in America for truckers, market Pee and money makers. Nor is its extreme earliness its only virtue, for it is of large size, good color and delicious flavor. It does not crack and has ‘no hard core. Color is a bright red, and though ; a little irregu- lar in shape, the fruit is not rough. Pages of this price list could be filled ane statements and comments “inet the money value of this fine, early tomato; but the best testimonial that I can present in regard to its worth is the fact that my customers, especially the New Jersey truckers, have again and again ex- hausted my supply of seed, even when I had imagined it to be sufficient for all demands. Maule’s Earliest of All is all its name implies, namely: the earliest tomato in extstence, not- withstanding the claims made for June Pink, Earliana, Early Jewel, Early Richmond, ete., ete. Packet, 15 ‘cents: half ounce, 30 cents: ounce, 50 cents: quarter pound, $1.50; pound, $5.00, postpaid. «June Pink An Extra Early Pink Tomato A Money Maker (Bright pink.) This extra early variety originated in New Jersey and was first offered in 1906; it is fast becoming popular with gardeners who wish a desirable pink skin tomato. The originator claims June Pink ripens as early as Harliana. Foli- | age and shape of tomato closely resemble Earliana, and many, 7 not observing: the fruit, would natuarally think it was that va- riety. In markets where pink varieties are preferred it will bring 25 per cent. more in price than similar red varieties. The vine is compact and branches freely; with handsome, good size, deep pink fruit hanging in clusters. A popular market and shipping variety and has other good qualities, making it espe- cially desirable for home use, as it continues to bear and ripen AY its attractive fruit up until frost.

Never before has any vegetable been tried so thoroughly in all sections of the country as Maule’s Magnifi- eent. In different soils and various climatic conditions it came out with flying colors. The name, suggested by eleven customers, expresses in one word how really good it is, and it certainly well deserves the name of Magnificent. In describing it I cannot do better than quote from a report sent to me by Mr. A. F. Boyd, Limestone, Pa. Mr. Boyd writes as follows: “It is different from all other tomatoes in almost every particular. First—The plants root well from the very beginning of their growth. Second—As the result of this strong growth of root there is a large and vigorous growth of stock to support the weight of the fruit. Third—As a result of this strong and vigorous growth of stock the spreading branches produce a great abundance of fruit from each plant, giving larger crops than other tomatoes of equal acreage. Fourth—The fruit is large, solid and smooth, easily prepared for market on account of its perfection. Rub each tomato with a dry cloth, and your basket will challenge any gardener for size, smoothness, richness of color and general perfection. A good shipper, does not crack or rot; unsurpassed for canning. Fifth—The plant is hardy, can be set out early and not be injured by the cold if protected from frost. Sixth—The first fruit always ripens evenly, and the later fruit on the vines is just as large and perfect as the first. After two heavy frosts (the vines lightly covered with straw) we are selling as fine tomatoes as I have ever seen, the people glad to get them at one dollar per bushel. If you want an abundant crop of solid, smooth, bright red, meaty tomatoes that will be large and good as long as vines can be protected from frosts, send for Maule’s Magnificent.’’ Thousands upon thousands of people seeing this main crop tomato growing in the gardens of their neighbors were struck | by its remarkable beauty, making the remark they must surely have some of this seed next year, so that Maule’s Mag- nificent at once sprung into popular fayor. Packet, 10 cents; half ounce, 25 cents; ounce, 45 cents; quarter pound, $1.25; pound, $4.50, postpaid. «: Lhe Coreless Tomato (Scarlet red.) A perfect globe shaped medium to large late tomato of recent introduction. This new shape is preferred by many growers; it is almost round, being about the same diameter each way. There is little or. no depression at the stem end; making it very economical for all uses. It is most productive, clusters of six or more fruits being pro- duced at close intervais all along the vines. Fine for slicing, the seed cells being surrounded by bright red, heavy, meaty and delicious flesh. In color it is a rich bright red. On account of its superior solidity it is a good long distance shipper. The vine isa strong and most luxuriant grower. Packet, 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts,; 4 pound, 75 cts; pound, $2,50. «o Greater Baltimore (Brilliant red.) This grand second early variety produces large bright red tomatoes in clusters at every second joint; the joints are short and sturdy. The vines are vigorous, compact and healthy growers; a heavy cropper of large, smooth, well formed tomatoes; deep from stem to blossom end. Very firm and meaty. Itripers evenly to the stem and is free from ridges, cracks and blight. Recommended by growers in Florida and Texas and for canning or the home garden the results have been far beyond expectations.

Maule’s Enormous Tomato, bred by Mr. Miesse, was first introduced to the public in my catalogue for 1899, having been sent out the previous year in packets for trial under the name “Hight to the Yard.” Maule’s Enormous, how- ever, was not bred merely for large size. The name was selected from the fact that it seemed to apply better to this wonderful tomato than to any other. Incom parative trials with other sorts, under ordinary conditions, Maule’s Enormous has made a record for both quality and quantity, while the beauty of the fruit makesitan easy and quick seller in all mar- Kets. The fruit is re- markably solid and firm. Enormous is now uni- versally recognized as a standard main crop red tomato, of great size and productive ability, and of the highest amateur and commercial quality. Ey- ery body is pleased withit. Its enormous size and good quality make it the leading large red tomato. > Packet, 10 cents; half ounce, 25 cents; ounce, 40 cents; quarter pound, $1.10; pound, $4.00, postpaid. « Spark’s Earliana _ (Searlet red.) Very popular with many growers of tomatoes for early market. There is no question but that Harliana is a very early variety, and one fully deserving the remarkable newspaper notoriety it has had for the past few years. As far as I am personally concerned I am satisfied Maule’s RFarliest of All is still the earliest of all tomatoes. But at the same time I am willing to admit that Spark’s Harliana is also an excellent variety, and that it has given Maule’s Harl- iest of All a harder tussle for supremacy than any early vari- ety. Of large size, searlet red color and great productiveness. I have secured a supply of seed direct from headquarters. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 35 cents; 4 pound, $1.00; pound, $3.50.

Within a week to ten days as early as the famous Sparks’ Harliana, it is even a heavier cropper, with Tomatoes of larger size and sweeter flavor, while its more robust growth makes it asure cropper. Of compact growth. Large, handsome fruits, very solid, deep through. Ripening right up to the stem without any cracks or green core. The foliage is rather open, admitting the sunlight to the center of each plant, so that all the fruits are thoroughly ripened.

This second early tomato has already be- come a big leader with many prominent and successful tomato growers in all parts of the country, and is becoming one of the main varieties grown by the leading tomato growers in Florida, because it has never shown any tendency to blight. In shape it is distinct from all others except Coreless, being a beautiful globe shape, which permits a greater number of slices to be made. Of large size, maintained throughout the season. Always smooth, firm fleshed and has very few seeds; ripens evenly. Color a fine glossy rose, tinged with purple; very attractive. Bears fruit in clusters of from three to seven, so that it can be truthfully stated the plants are literally loaded with beautiful tomatoes.

Maule’s Field Seeds Johnson County White Dent Corn A Single Ear Has Won $1,000 in Prizes aw This wonderful white dent corn is one of the sensations among progressive farmers. During the Chicago and Omaha National Corn Expositions, this variety has captured prizes amounting to $10,183.50. It also won the Grand Prize at the St. Louis Exposi- tion and the Silver Medal at the Paris Exposition. The reason for this is because it complies with the score card more than any other corn grown. The high breeding of this variety makes it uniform in exhibit. The ears are cylindrical in shape up to within about 2 inches of the tip, where there is a slight tapering. Both kernel and cob are white. The tips of the ears are well filled, a large percentage of them being completely covered with grain. The butts are deeply rounded with medium shanks. The kernels are uniform in size and very long and wedge-shaped. The ears will average about 10 inches in length and from 74 to 8 inches in circumference. There is very little space between the rows and this variety yields a very high percentage of shelled corn. The stalk is good and thrifty, ranging in height from 10 to 12 feet. An excellent root system enables the stalk to stand up under a heavy load of corn even during severe rain and wind storms. This variety has no barren stalks and is practi- cally free from smut and other corn dis- eases. It is strong in pollen and stands a great deal of scorching wind and sun. Matures in about 110 days. According to analysis Johnson County White Dent is very rich in protein, which every stock raiser will appreciate. This corn has been known to yield from 100 to 125 bushels per acre and gives excellent satisfaction to all who have grown it as far north as 80 miles above Philadelphia. As long as my supply of Johnson County White Dent holds out, I will be pleased to furnish it at the follow- ing prices: Packet, 10 cents; pound, 30 cents; 3 pounds, 75 cents, by mail, postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, peck, 75 cts.; bushel, $2.50; 2 bushels, $4.75; 10 bushels, $22.50. Minnesota King Corn : A Yellow Half Dent Field Corn This famous 8-rowed field corn is neither a dent nor a flint variety, but may be de- seribed as a half dent. It is widely adver- tised as the most valuable early field corn ever sent out. The introducers claim that no other sort will produce so largely and do so well, taking poor years with good ones, as Minnesota King. It is able to endure conditions of both flood and drought with remarkable success, but what is even more significant it can withstand changes of temperature, and is but little injured by heat or cold. It seems peculiarly adapted to those locations where short seasons and early autumn frosts make corn an uncer- tain crop, maturing in about 85 days. The grain is very broad and of an extremely clear golden color, The 8-rowed ear is of good size and shape, with a small cob. Packet, 10 cfs.; pound, 30 cts.; 3 pounds, 75 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, peck, 65 cts.; bushel, $2.25; 2 bushels, $4.25. NOTE. — Customers can order half pecks of field corns at peck rates; half bushels at bushel rates. “ MINNESOTA KING FIELD CORN. WM. HENRY MAULE, PHILADELPHIA, PA. A FINE YELLOW DENT CORN Resists Drought and Scorching Droughtproof eae Than Any Other Droughtproof originated in Erie County, Ohio, and came to me through Mr. C.S. Clark, from whom I originally obtained the celebrated Early Mastodon that to-day is well and favorably known in all sections of the country. Mr. Clark wrote to me in1901 that if I wanted something distinctly better than anything on the market in the way of a bright yellow dent corn, he had it, and would give me the first chance atit. It took me buta short time to place with Mr. Clark probably the largest order ever given for any variety of corn the first year; in fact, I took Mr. Clark’s entire crop. My own field notes in regard to Droughtprogf were in substance as follows: The largest grain of any Yellow Dent Corn. The smallest cob of any Yellow Dent Corn. Brightest color of grain. Fully as early as Leaming. Yield not excelled by any other sort. Strong growth of stalk and handsome ear. Unusual yield of shelled corn in- sured by great depth of grain. Under date of November 6th, 1901, Mr. Clark wrote to me as follows: “You are fortunate to have the new Droughtproof yellow dent corn to place before your customers. More corn fields have been ruined by the drought and hot sun killing the tassel and pollen this past season than the writer has ever known, and especially is this fact true in the great corn belt. This new corn (now named Droughtproof) went on through six weeks of growing weather without a drop of rain, and the heat the most severe ever known in this section, and it has made a crop where other sorts failed. All fields that leaned towards the hot sun burned up. The pollen on these fields was killed, therefore the silk was not fertilized; result, no grains on the cob. On the other hand,a large field of this wonderful strong-growing variety, which leaned toward the sun, kept green and yielded over 100 bushels per acre. I do not hesitate to say that, all points consid- ered—iis beautiful color, small cob, long yellow grains, large ears—taking all points com- bined, it is the finest yellow corn ever introduced, and each customer who gives it a trial will be fully convinced that it is the best 90 to 100 day corn he ever planted.” Droughtproof Corn is phenomenally excellent, and should be tried by all farmers. It will yield big crops wherever corn can be grown. I advise all my friends to try it. Packet, 10 cemts; pound, 30 cents; 3 pounds, 75 cents, by mail, postpaid.

Pains Largest Grained Yellow Dent Corn This large, broad, yellow grain dent corn has very long ears, covered with the brightest golden yellow grains of remarkable size; completely filled out to the extreme end of the cob. The cobs are unusually small, when } broken in half, the grains will almost reach across. The richness of color ==} and quality of grain makes it one of \\ the best corns for grinding into meal. It is a vigorous grower, attaining a i height of 8 to 10 feet, maturing its crop in about 110 to 120 days. The perfect ears contain twelve to six- teen rows of extra bright golden yel- low grains. Easily shelled. My stock is worthy of the name “Improved.” Packet, 10 cents; pound, 30 cents; 3 pounds, 75 cents, postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, peck, 65 cents; bushel, $2.00; 2 bushels, $3.75; 10 bus., $17.50. Reid’s Yellow Dent The Most popular Yellow Dent Corn in the Great Central Corn Belt. aes Equally as well in Pennsylvania as it does in I{linois. For a number of years past Reid’s Yellow Dent has been one of the most popular varieties of the Middle West, some people going so far as to say there is more of this corn planted than ofall other sorts combined. It is a true dent corn, color a beautful golden yellow, with one of the smallest cobs for size of ear of any yellow corn. Ears are frequently 10 to 11 inches long, and from 7 to 8 inchesincirecumference. It is easily shelled and matures its crop under favorable conditions in about 115 days. It undoubtedly has taken more prizes at the Illinois State Fair and other great corn shows than any other variety. The 10 ears that won the sweepstakes at the Great National Corn Exposition Six years ago sold at auction for $200, or $20.00 a piece. I have an unusual crop of seed this season, grown in the Middle West, and will furnish it as long as the supply holds out, at the following prices: Packet, 10 cents; pound, 30 cents; 3 pounds, 75 cents, by mail, postpaid.

DRAWN FROM NATURE. wae RD EE ie i ES 102—Field Seeds THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1913 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 head- quarters seed, and run no risk. Maule’s Improved Early Mastodon combines large yield, large grains and extra early quality to a remarkable degree. It originated with Mr. C. S. 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 Erie.. 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 Early Yellow Dent.”’ Packet, 10 cts.; pound, 30 cts.; 3 pounds, 75 cts., postpaid.

ZS ZS AS aS 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 .\ AZ Was originally obtained by selecting the largest and most vigorous plants from an extra WeZzz= ood 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, SSS 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, t N i 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, J 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. Thereis S bound 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 Fieid of White Tartar A new variety of oats furnished me by Mr. G. W. Ketchum a 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 quite free from smut. The demand for this new variety last season exhausted my supply very early in the season; so 1 would suggest early orders to avoid disappointment. Packet, 10 cts.; pound, 25 cts.; 3 pounds, 65 cts., by mail, postpaid, By express \ e White Cluster Oats A Heavy Yielder This white oats, grown extensively in the State of Ohio, is claimed to be the best large, white grained, stiff straw, side oats grown to date. The straw is exceedingly tall, stiff and heavy, and produces enormous yields of pure white grains. Its great stooling habit makes it one of the best varieties for hay. The heads are long and of branching habit. Well filled with plump white kernels, which, when threshed, are very heavy. White Cluster does not lodge, on account of its strong, stiff straw, and large deep root growth; has given very general satisfaction. Often yields 100 to 120 bushels or over peracre. Packet, 10 cents; pound, 25 cents; 3 pounds, 65 cents, by mail, postpaid. By express or freight, mot prepaid, peck, 40 cents; bushel of 32 pounds, $1.35; 10 bushels, $12.50. Golden Fleece Oats Handsome and Prolific 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 32 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 here- tofore 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. Packet, 10 cts.; pound, 25 cts.; 3 pounds, 65 cts., by mail, postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, peck, 40 cts,; bushel of 32 pounds, $1.35; 10 bushels, $12.50. Improved Swedish Oats This new oat is considered one of the heaviest yielders and one of the most profitable in the entire oat family. Experts in the United States Department of Agriculture, who thoroughly investigated this new sort, report it the best all around oat out of 36 varieties tested, ranking first in weight, stiffness of straw and thin hulling qualities. The stiff straw, which holds up unusually well considering the weight of the grain, grows from 4 to 5 feet tall with heads measuring from 8 to 11% inches long and produces grain weighing from 35 to 40 pounds to the measured bushel. Its heavy yield is shown by one report that from a two acre field 227 bus. were harvested. Another report shows under rather unfavorable conditions a erop of 814% bushels to the acre and that the crop was ready for harvest at least a week earlier than the common varieties. These sterling qualities combined with its freedom from rust stamp this oat as one of the most profitable on the market today and I predict for it an unusually successful future.

Cow Peas, Soja Beans and Rape—105 t NEW REVENUE COW PEA. This is the best autumn sheep forage known, and is also used for pigs and dairy cows with suc- cess and profit. Under favorable circumstances it is ready for pasturage in six weeks from the time of sowing. Rape is a plant of the cabbage family, requiring the same cultural treatment as Stock should be fed alternately on grass and rape; not on rape exclusively. 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 is a plant which loves cool weather, and thrives better in autumn than in midsummer. The seed should be used at the rate of 3 pounds per acfe in drills, or 5 pounds per acre broadcast. Rape is ap excellent green manure for plowing down.

Cow peas have long been grown in the South as forage crops and soil improvers. Cow Peas The Practical Farmer, of Philadelphia, has constantly urged their importance. The 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 willimprove 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. It is grown exclusively for its leaves. New Revenue 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 varie- ties of the cow pea are almost unknown out of the South, but are a 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. It is early, productive and an extremely rank grower. The green pods are splendid as snap beans, delicious hulled and used while green as lima beans, and excel- lent in the dried state, boiled or baked as navy beans, or used in soups. Makes a large growth of vines, 8 to 15 feet long, and covered the entire ground to a depth of 2 or 3 feet with a dense growth of vines. It outyields any other pea I am acquainted with. In average sea- sons Revenue matures in 90 days. The pods are fit for use in 70 to 75 days. It will yield more peas than any sort I havetested. The peas are large and well crowded in the pods. Packet, 10 cts.; pimt, 30 cts.; quart, 50 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, not pre= paid, quart, 35 cents; peck, $1.25; bushel, $4.50. New Era An early maturing variety of quick, upright growth. The vines make a splendid dry forage, cure easily, and produce a heavy yield of peas. Maturing in about 60 days, this variety is specially valuable to Northern growers in sections where the short season prevents other varieties from producing seed. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, quart, 25 cts.; peck, $1.00; bushel, $3.50. The Clay This is so called from the color of the seed, which is the color of reddish yellowclay. 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 tocure. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, not pre= paid, quart, 25 cts.; peck, $1.00; bushel, $3.50, Extra Early Black Eye This pea is one of the earliest. 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. In the South it is grown mainly for table use, and takes the place of the white beans in the North. As a soup pea it is very popular. Packet, 10 cemts; pint., 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, qt., 25 cents; pk., $1.25; bu., $4.00. Whip-poor-will A small seeded pea of a dark reddish color dotted over with dark specks. It is a second early variety, and matures in about 70 days. It is not a heavy forage maker, but a very productive variety and largely grown as a soil improver and for pasturage. Trails very little and usually in bush form only. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, quart, 25 cents; peck, 90 cents; bushel, $3.25. Black It is about a 100-day pea from planting to ripening seed. Trails freely and makes a heavy crop of hay. In fact, one of the best for hay, as it will get into con- dition for curing early enough for any locality in the Middle States. Ripens as far north as Ithaca, N. Y.

The Wonderful The wonderful growth and profusion of fruiting has given to it the present name. lis first growth is very erect, but later in the season it runs rampantly, mak- ing vines fully 15 feet long over the top of the erect growth. As a soil improver, to be plowed under in the late fall, there is no plant that will equal it. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, quart, 25 cents; peck, $1.00; bushel, $3.50. The usual quantity of any of the above cow peas sown per acre, is one bushel, but on strong soil will result in a stout growth of stem; to produce a finer growth for hay, 114 bushels should be sown.

For many years I have specialized on clover and grass seed, contracting for my crops in the world’s most favored climes and taking particular care in selecting, cleaning and marketing only the purest and most fertile to be obtained. While some seedsmen list various grades I stick to but the one, and that the highest I can secure. That this constant care has brought its own reward is Shown by the fact that my business on cloyers and grasses has jumped by leaps and bounds year after year, and this past year notwithstanding the high prices made necessary by the scarcity of good seed, it was larger than ever. high grade quality of the seed I offer.

Dept. of Agriculture is authority for the statement that alfalfa at two years adds $100 to the value of every acre on whichit grows. Its long fibrous roots working their way far down into the soil liberate, after the hay is cut, an im- mense yolume of plant foods to be drawn on for years to come by future crops. It can be cut3to5timea year and produces from 3 to7 tons of hay per acre. Asa feed for cattle, swine poultry or stock of any kind, owing to its large percentage of protein, it is unsurpassed. Alfalfa can be grown successfully in any State in the Union, but on lands not inoculated I recommend the use of ‘‘Karmogerm” listed on the sundry page of this book, Alfalfa required a well prepared seed bed, well drained, well limed land, with plenty of humus supplied by the gener- ous use of well rotted manure.

They are made of the best components to be had on the market. oughly cleaned. J will cheerfully compound grass mixtures to order. The purpose of each is suggested by its name. None but the finer grasses are employed, and only seeds that have been thor- Maule’s Extra Lawn Grass Seed This mixture will insure a beautiful, compact, evergreen sod on any lawn where the essential requirements of grass culture have been com- plied with. 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 :here 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 reeommend a thorough working and manuring to a depth of 8 or 9 inches, anda 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.

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 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. In sowing Putting Greens it is wise econ- omy to sow liberally 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, mot prepaid, peck, $1.75; bushel (20 Ibs.), 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 against heat 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.

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 lst (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.

Maule’s Shady Lawn Mixture This mixture is intended for all situations that are in partial or com- plete shade, and will be found inyaluable 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.

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, etc. 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 yary the proportions to suit differ- ent situations. Mauie’s Permanent Pasture Mixture for Light and Sandy Soils. —Use at the rate of 56 pounds (4 bushels) per acre. Bu., $3.50; 4 bus., enough for an acre, $13.00. The suitable clovers are included.

For Out-door Use For all gardening operations I recommend the use of Panmure Plant Food at the rate of 1,000 to 2,000 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. It is, therefore, an admir- able thing for grass. I have 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 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. 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. It is not only well and liberally supplied with plant foods, but these foods are perfectly balanced. The great secret of the success of Panmure Plant Food, however, lies in the fact that every one of its ingredients is a high-grade and It was a lucky formula that I selected for my Panmure trial grounds, and itis this good luck that I am now offering to share with my friends.

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. Prices at first glance may seem high, but I can safely say, without reserve, that Panmure Plant Food, when applied intelligently, will be worth several times as much as the ordinary commercial fertilizer.

The Marguerite carnation is ready to bloom in a few weeks from the sowing of the seed, and is the most profuse bloomer of the whole group of pinks. The plants are of compact and robust growth, but of dwarf habit. They are easily grown, and make the best of bedding plants. They may be treated as annuals, or wintered with slight protection out of’ doors. They make admirable window plants, and may be potted for this purpose in the autumn. The best plan, perhaps, is to sow fresh seed every spring, so 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. 1194 Rose. Packet, 10 cents. 1185 White.

DWARF FRUIT TREES The Ideal Tree for the Smal! Garden. There is probably no class of trees, which the horticultural press has devoted s0 much space to in recent years, as these famous dwarf pears and apples. Dwarf trees consist of the regu- lar standard sorts that have been budded on dwarf stocks and will invariably bear finer fruit. When you consider the fact that a dwarf tree, one year old, has borne fine Early Williams apples not two feet from the ground, the whole tree being about three feet tall, and that trees four years old will bear a fine crop and measure about five feet tall by four feet across, you will readily see that this class of trees isjust the thing for the small garden. They are easily sprayed and picked; give quick results and may be planted as close as 12 feet apart, if kept trimmed close in June and August. J cannot supply dwars trees by mail.
