This strain is not only practically free from rust and other diseases, but it is also larger and more vigorous. In color it is a dark green, with a heavy over-cast of rich purple. Has a tight, pointed bud, and does not branch out until well beyond the market height. Makes a clean, straight growth. Produces the finest kind of green asparagus, both for home use or market.

The Earliest of all Large Eared Yellow Dent Corn. Has a Record of 213 Bushels of Shelled Corn to the Acre It is the largest eared, extra early yellow dent corn; the ears measuring 9 to 12 inches in length, and from 7% to 8 inches in circumference, with 16 to 22 rows of grains, and averaging at husking time nearly one pound each. Out- yields any other variety ripening at the same time. It makes a rapid, strong and rank growth, attaining a height of 9 to 10 feet, often producing 2 to 8 large ears to a stalk. The foliage is large, making fine fodder and is one of the best varieties for that purpose. We consider Improved Mastodon the variety to plant where an extra early, large eared corn is wanted that will mature in 9 to100 days under favorable growing con- ditions. It makes fine looking shelled corn, showing two shades, a golden yellow with a white cap. There has been a brisk demand for this corn for years past, and our supply has not infrequently been completely exhausted early in the season. We regret to believe that unscrupulous dealers have solda great deal of inferior or impure seed for Mastodon. Our suggestion is, therefore, that purchases be made only from reliable neighbors who have raised the stock or that orders be sent direct to us at 2lst and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, for the true seed. Our seed crop of this large eared early corn is very short this season, so advise ordering early. Packet, 10 cts.; pound, 35 cts.; 3 pounds, $1.00, postpaid. Not prepaid, 14Ibs.

HENRY MAULE, Inc., PHILADELPHIA, PA., 1925 (Heartsease) Maule’s Giant P ansies Hardy Biennial OR many years, in fact ever since we have been in business, we havegiven particular attention to pansy seeds, until F we really think our strains of pansies are as good as can be found anywhere in the world. Pansies demand good soil, thriving best in a cool, moist but well drained position. Do not plant pansies in the shade of a tree or building, as this causes straggly plants with very few blooms. Seeds sown in April or May will produce blooming plants the last of June, which will continue flowering until the end of the season. For early spring blooming, sow seeds in August and give plants protection during the winter. We know that the results obtained from our pansy seeds have been so remarkable that this is the reason the demand for this beautiful and popular flower increases with us so much every year. y yi) = uy’ fy" f - \\: | RRA fel NY aa NI) Ui 1598 Giant Madame Perret 1603 Giant President McKinley 16066 Bugnot’s Superb Blotched Comprised of all shades of wine red, from the} _ Almost black, with yellow margin; 2%4to3| Thehandsome blossoms, which are large and in di fe hes arereally dark < isti light red, white edged bright red to the deep| !mghes in diameter.

New Early Flowering Hardy Pansies These new pansies are of great value, owing to the extreme hardiness of the plants and their extraordinarily early blooming time, producing ia their flowers 4 to 6 weeks earlier than any other variety of pansies. Full grown plants will winter over in the open ground with but a slight pro- tection of leaves, litter, etc., in very cold latitudes, and will begin flowering, so-to-say, under the snow in February and March, when other pans- les are only forming buds. These delicately perfumed pansies are of good size and will continue to bloom in great profusion until late summer. 1630 NEW EARLY FLOWERING HARDY, MIXED COLORS.

With but little care, excellent results may be obtained. After flower- ing, many bulbs, if given a period of rest, may be re-planted, when the previous year’s display will be repeated. This of course applies to varieties that are not hardy. The hardy roots of lilies, iris, peontes, etc., when once planted will live out-doors for years without being _ disturbed. A good supply of bulbs or roots may be obtained at a very moderate cost, for the first cost is practically the only expense. Important. Your attention is called to the fact that all orders for bulbs, roots, etc., are shipped on receipt. Should you wish us to reserve the bulbs for future shipment, your instructions to that effect must be clearly specified at time of ordering.
