Copyright 1936 by Wm. Henry Maule, Philadelphia Printed in U. S. A. WZ < == ( January 1—February 25 The Maule Seed Book is distributed in January. Look it over carefully and make up your seed order. Include at least a few varieties you have never grown before. An early order for Maule’s Seeds will assure you of getting everything wanted, and you will be ready to plant when conditions are most favorable. If you want to raise strong, healthy plants for transplanting outside in the spring, this is the time to prepare your hotbed or cold frame. Instructions for this are given below. Follow the practical instructions given in The Maule Seed Book. Success in your gardening efforts will thus be insured. February 25—March 30 Sow in greenhouse, hotbed or indoors in shallow boxes or pots, seeds of Artichoke, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Early Cabbage, Cauliflower, Celeriac, Celery, Egg Plants, Ground Cherry, Let- tuce, Peppers, Tobacco, and Tomatoes. After March 15, or as soon as the ground can be worked, plant Asparagus seed or roots, Beets, Carrots, Cress, Dandelion, Horse Radish Sets, Leek, Lettuce, Mustard, Onion Sets or seed, Smooth Peas, Potatoes, Radishes, Rhubarb Roots and Spinach. Asparagus beds may now be top-dressed with stable manure and given an application of salt. April 1—May 10 As soon as all possible danger of frost is past, plants of Arti- choke, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Early Cabbage, Cauliflower and Lettuce may be set outdoors. As a protection for early plants against frost, rain, wind and insects, we can highly recommend the use of Hotkaps. They are offered on page 53. Plant Asparagus Seed or roots, Bush Beans, Beets, Brussels Sprouts, Carrots, Celeriac, Celery, Chicory, Collards, Corn Salad, Early Corn, Cress, Dandelion, Endive, Garlic Sets, Herbs, Horse Radish Sets, Kale, Kohl Rabi, Leek, Lettuce, Mustard, Onion seed or sets, Parsley, Parsnips, Peas, Potatoes, Radishes, Rhubarb seed or roots, Salsify, Sorrel, Spinach, Swiss Chard and Early Turnips. May 10—June 15 If not yet set out in the open ground, re-set or transplant Egg Plants, Ground Cherry, Peppers, Tobacco and Tomato plants, as well as Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Early Cabbage, Cauliflower and Lettuce plants. Plant in the open: Asparagus roots, Beans of all kinds, Lima Beans, Beets, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Late Cabbage, Carrots, Cauliflower, Chicory, Collards, Corn Salad, Corn, Cress, Cucum- bers, Dandelion, Garlic Sets, Herbs, Horse Radish Sets, Kale, Kohl Rabi, Leek, Lettuce, Mangels, Muskmelons, Mustard, Okra, Onion seed or sets, Parsley, Parsnip, Peanuts, Peas, Potatoes, Pumpkins, Radishes, Rhubarb seed or roots, Salsify, Sorrel, Spinach, Sunflower, Squash, Swiss Chard, Early Turnips and Watermelons.

Set out plants of Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Late Cabbage, Cauliflower, Celeriac and Celery. July 20—August 31 At this time many of the vegetables that were planted early have matured and should be followed by others, but the probable time of the first frost in each locality must be considered before deciding what to plant. Sow the following for a late fall crop: Bush Beans, Chinese Cabbage, Collards, Kale, Lettuce, Mustard, Early Peas, all Radishes, Spinach and Turnips. THE HOME GARDENERS ii¥ TIME TABLE Cultural directions telling how to plant will be found at the heading of each class of vegetables throughout this Catalog, as well being printed on every package of Maule’s Seeds. The table below tells what to plant at certain periods to get the best results. — September 1—October 15 Sow no later than September-15: Corn Salad, Kale, Lettuce — oa | Ai, + 4 * and Spinach for late fall or early spring use. Celery plants should — be slightly banked up. Any of these vegetables wanted for early spring use should be covered with a few inches of hay, leaves or litter the last of — November and left on during the winter. Until October 15: Asparagus roots, Horse Radish Sets, Onion Sets and Rhubarb roots may be planted. These require no pro- tection, but a covering will prove beneficial. October 15—December 31 Continue banking up Celery plants. After a few light frosts, when the ground is dry, dig roots of Beets, Carrots, Celeriac, Parsnips, Winter Radishes, Rutabaga, Salsify and Turnips; remove tops all but an inch or two which will prevent bleeding or drying out. Store either in pit outdoors or in boxes indoors, covering roots with dry sand or soil. Store Cabbage outdoors by placing heads close together, roots — up, and cover with straw and soil. Important Note: The cultural suggestions are based on climatic conditions — in the latitude of Philadelphia. Farther south, allow one week to © two months earlier. Farther north, allow one to four weeks later, — according to the climatic conditions where you live. The Care of Your Soil Heavy clay should be mixed with sifted coal ashes or sand. — Sandy soil should be mixed with coarse manure. On all soils a wheelbarrow load of manure to every two square yards of ground ~ will be enough. When stable manure is not obtainable, the use of commercial fertilizers, such as Vigoro or Pulverized Sheep Manure (page 53) will prove highly productive. If your garden is large it should be plowed; if small, it may be dug. The soil should be worked to a depth of 6 to 8 inches. An application of fertilizer or Sheep Manure may be spread on this plowed or dug ground and harrowed or raked in. The ground is now ready for planting. Sow seeds as suggested on the seed bags. Cultivation is necessary between the plants in a row as well as between the rows themselves. If you will do this thoroughly and often, your soil will get all the air and moisture it needs, and you will keep down the weeds at the same time. How to Make a Hotbed or Cold Frame Select a southern or southeastern exposure. Make a box-like frame of heavy lumber, as wide and as long as desired, the back of the frame being 12 in. high and the front 8 in. high. Dig a pit about 114 ft. deep, fill with fresh stable manure. Pack manure down firmly until it is level with surrounding earth. On top of this manure put rich, light and well-sifted soil to a depth of 4 in. Cover the frame with glass sashes; the manure will generate heat. In a few days the heat will have reached its highest point and start to drop. When it has fallen to 80 or 90 degrees, seeds may be sown. It is not necessary to ventilate the bed until the seed comes up, when air should be given on every bright day by raising the sash slightly at the back. Coverings of old carpet, salt hay or boards should be used at night to protect against danger of the cold. On bright, sunny days, before noon, water should be given the plants. Give enough ventilation to dry up any moisture that might be on or around plants. Water very sparingly during wet or cloudy weather to prevent mildew. The cold frame is used for hardening plants started in the hotbed. It is built like a hotbed, but without the pit or manure, the frame resting on the surface of the ground. In mild climates, seed may be started in a cold frame instead of a hotbed. 2 For a Better Garden, be sure to get your seeds from WM.

Do not plant until danger of frost is over, the soil warm and moderately dry, and the nights quite warm, as Lima Beans are a tender vegetable. In most sections, Limas are planted about 2 weeks after the first planting of bush or snap beans. Plant in drills 214 to 3 feet apart, spacing the seed 6 to 8 inches apart, and plant them edgewise with #% the eye downward. Cover 2 inches deep. Later thin to stand 16 to 18 inches apart § in the rows. Cultivate shallow and frequently until the plants blossom. Pick the pods as soon as the beans are of edible size which, depending upon the variety, will be ready for picking 65 to 85 days after planting. One ese will plant 25 feet of row; one lb. 150 feet; 45 to 60 Ibs. an acre. 60 IMPROVED FORDHOOK BUSH (75 days) % Larger and Thicker Pods than the Famous Fordhook Bush Lima The strong and erect bushy plants produce a thick growth of dark green foliage, protecting the blossoms and pods from direct sunlight.

Tender, Productive, and Exceedingly Sweet _ This Beet is miles ahead of any cther variety ever offered anywhere. That is a strong claim, but thousands of market growers and home gardeners will substantiate this claim, and consider our enthusiasm mild in comparison to the outstandin features of this Reet. ‘It is an early variety with a rich, dark red skin and short tops. The uniformity in size and shape is truly remarkable. They are perfectly globe shaped and always smooth. The flesh is deep red with hardly any zone. It retains the deep red color when cooked. The flesh is fine grained, tender, and most agreeably sweet.

Under favorable conditions the roots grow quickly and reach full size in an astonishingly short time. A favy- orite with market growers who plant it extensively for forcing to supply the early market. As the roots are of medium size and have only a limited amount of foliage, they can stand quite close planting, which, in turn, means increased yields from the land available. The compactness of the plant is only one of the features that has made it valuable for growing under glass. Its quality, attractive- ness, uniformity, and the dark red color of the flesh are characteristics that will appeal to many gardeners.

The roots are flat to globe in shape, of a beautiful deep red color, and of medium size roots and tops. This character- istic makes it possible to grow them quite close and thereby increase the yield. Its most valuable points are—that it is as early as any other market Beet, and that the roots mature all together; thus allowing the harvesting of the entire crop at one time.

We offer all that have been bred so far, and will add more as they are developed. Asters bloom from three to five months after seed is sown, varying with the variety and the climate.
