Maule’s Blood Turnip beet has given such excellent satisfaction that it still retains its posi- tion at the head of our list, and for years the amount of catalogue space occupied by illustrations and devoted to descriptions of this variety, has been unquestionably one of the most profitable in our Seed Book. We first gave prominent notice to Maule’s Blood Turnip beet in our catalogue of 1889; the sales then were large, but today, 32 years later, they are ten times greater than ever. A consistent steady demand from 1 the same people year after year for 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, ready for the table in about 50 days. 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 cuts 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 has long been regarded as the standard of excellence by] more than 70,000 successful gardeners, who plant it year after year in preference to any other. | Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; quarter pound, 65 cents; pound, $2.00; 10 pounds, $17.50, postpaid.

Produces fine, solid, good sized heads, fit for market 70 to 80 days from sowing the seed. Maule’s First Early is what is wanted for home or market. Its shape, habit of growth and general aspect are well shown in the illustration. It can safely be planted as close as Wake- field and is a sure header. It excels Wakefield and all other early cabbages in solidity of head; in fact, the head is as hard as a stone. It is a choice market sort on account of both Shape and quality. Itis a beautiful cabbage in appearance, being handsome in color and general uniformity. No wonder the buyers of early cabbages select these attractive heads when displayed on the market stalls. Almost anybody would pick out one of these solid flat heads in preference to a round or pointed headed variety. Many of our customers have cleaned off their entire crop of Maule’s First Early before they have started to cut Harly Wakefield, or Early Flat Dutch. Seed crop very near a total failure, cannot supply in large quantities. Prices for 1921—Packet, 15 cents; half ounce, 60 cents; ounce, $1.00; postpaid.

Stands Longest Without Bursting Copenhagen Market is certainly a valuable early maturing cabbage, producing round, hard heads of the finest quality for the table or market in seventy-five days. It is the most popular early cabbage in the markets of Copenhagen, and has become very popular in America. Market gardeners here who tried it are strong in its praise on account of its extreme earliness and solid ten pound heads, with a small core and always of excellent quality, making it a good seller. The plants are short stemmed, producing heads almost on the ground. The light green colored leaves are medium in size, saucer shaped, and are always tightly folded; the plants may therefore be set closer than most other early varieties. It isa vigorous grower and yielder, as are all cabbages from Den- mark, and an excellent keeper. A most ex- cellent round headed sort for the home garden, as wellas for the market gardener whose trade requires a largesolid head early in the season. Our stock of Copenhagen Market comes to us direct from the originator in Copenhagen, Denmark which we can highly recommend. _ Ready to use in about 75 to 90 days 127 Glory of Enkhousen Early, Round, Solid Heads of Superior Merit This desirable cabbage, Glory of Enkhousen, originated in Holland: in season it is very early, maturing its heads in 80 days, with heads fre- quently twice as large, weighing three times as muchas Early Summer. The large sized, ball shaped heads are very firm and solid, leaves being fine ribbed and exceedingly tender. Itis a dwarf and compact grower, allowing close planting; in fact some of its enthusiastic admirers claim it will yield more tons per acre than any other variety on account ofclose planting. This is not only a valuable early sort, but it grows so large that it can be profitably raised for main crop for Fall use. On account of its quick growth, this cabbage is a most desirable sort for market gar- deners to set out latein July, after early potatoes or other Spring crops are harvested. This cabbage is extensively grown and is extremely popu- lar with the market gardeners generally, and especially with those who use Our select strain of Danish Ball Head and who have a trade for a round, solid head cabbage early in the season.

The Wakefield, with its pointed heads, held the leading place among early cabbages for seyeral decades, out of sheer merit; and it is still in favor with all market gardeners. It is so reliable early and so genuinely good that nothing can wholly supersede it or drive it out of the markets, The Charleston Wakefield is an improved and larger form of Maule’s Prize Wakefield. It re- quires rather more time to reach maturity, but it yields fully twice the crop of the original Wakefield cabbage. It comes along in a close Succession to the earlist cabbage crop producing its heads in about 8 days. It is astrain which cannot be profitably overlooked by any gardener, wheter it is intended fora private garden or to be send to market.

Maule’s Frost Proof Cabbage Plants WILL DOUBLE YOUR PROFIT. WHY? Because they mature heads which can be marketed two to three weeks earlier than your home grown plants and you get early market prices Maule’s sturdy southern grown cabbage plants are tough and hardy They mean dollars to the wide awake gardener Our plants are grown, from the best strains of seed, in the south where the soil and climatic conditions are just suited for growing tough, hardy, frost proof cabbage plants. Plants are ready for shipment when from eight to ten weeks old, the buds are then purple and the outer leaves a reddish brown; when in this condition they can be shipped to territory farther north and planted in the open ground a month to six weeks earlier than home grown hot bed or cold frame plants. The top of the plant does not grow until your regular spring weather opens up, but the roots grow from the time the plants are set. They have stood a temperature of eight to ten degrees above zero without injury; the land freezing or the plants being covered with ice, sleet and snow did not effect them. Headed cabbage is ready ten days to three weeks earlier than from any other plants. Frost proof cabbage plants may be shipped to any point where they will arrive within four or five days, by parcel post, and should be planted four to six weeks earlier than home grown plants. The plants will be somewhat wilted and have a hard stunted look when received which will be disappointing to persons who have never used them before. Regard- less of their appearance, however, they will produce the results. Order early and state about what date you wish your plants sent. We will ship just as near the time desired as weather and other conditions permit, but PLEASE REMEMBER Your order must first be sent from our offices in Philadelphia to our growing station in the south, and it will take several days to reach there after wc receive it. Plants cannot. be pulled and shipped in rainy or freezing weather, when wet they heat too rapidly. Wesometimes have a week or ten days of continued wet weather which prevents shipment. Your order will be accepted with the understanding that you are willing to allow for delays, such as explained above, over which we have absolutely no control. : READ CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU ORDER VARIETIES.

In quality the Houser cabbage equals the best, being very free from the coarse ribs found in most late sorts. In fact, we would say that the Houser cabbage is very well bred, and in the eareful trials and comparative tests on our grounds, it has shown up excellently with all other late sorts. It is a strong, vigorous grower, with ability to withstand drought better than most varieties. Tts true merit is shown by the demand for it. It adapts itself to various condi- tions of soil and climate. As to its keeping qualities, in winter storage, we have only to say that it is per- fect.

Continued care and critical selection haye secured a perfectly true stock of seed. The heads of our Prize Flat Dutch are very large, heavy, solid, flat on top, and ofa bluish green color. Our strain is a low growing variety, with short stem and comparatively few outer Jeaves. The quality is fine and the flavor ex- cellent, the heads being white when cut and the inside leaves crisp and tender. Our seed has always been American grown, coming from the celebrated Long Island districts, and whoever purchases Maule’s Prize Flat Dutch may be as- sured of getting the best. It is everywhere a favorite market variety. It matures slightly earlier than Prize Drumhead, producing heads in about 110 days. Prize Flat Dutch is comparatively free from a disposition to burst, and is one of the most reliable winter keepers.

It forms very large, hard, solid, flat- ' tened heads, uniform in shape-and color, and of handsomeappearance. It has averyshort stem, and is a compact grower. Shortness of stem is so characteristic as to be associated with the very best strains of this cabbage, and the stock which we offer is thoroughbred in this and all other respects. This cabbage, like Prize Flat Dutch, has so long been an established standard that certain peculiarities have been bred into it, and have be- come so firmly fixed as to be necessary features of growth. It is as natural for this cabbage to form a head as to form leaves, and reports of 99. marketabie heads from 100 plants are of frequent occurrence. Nobody will be disappointed in our strain of Short Stemmed Drumhead, for it far Surpasses the old-fashioned strains of the same name, with heads of deeper and better shape, maturing in 120 days.

HENRY MAULE, Inc., PHILADELPHIA, PA. . eis a9 Maule’s Improved Mastedon The Earliest of all the Large Eared Yellow Dent Varieties 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 73 to 8 inches in circumference, with 16 to 22 rows of grains, and averaging at husking time nearly one pound each. Outyields 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 to3 large ears toastalk. 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 95 to 100 days under favorable growing conditions. 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 be- lieve that unscrupulous dealers. have sold a great deal of inferior or impure seed for Mastodon. Our suggestion is, therefore, that pur- chases be made only from re- liable neighbors who have raised the stock or that orders be set di- rect to us at 21st and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, for the true seed.

Maule’s Three Permanent Pasture Mixtures : Best Adapted for Producing an Abundant Hay Crop or for Pasturage 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. Our 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 inixtures we employ mainly Kentucky Blue, Timothy, English Rye, Italian Rye, Red Top or Herd, Orchard, Tall Meadow, Meadow Foxtail, Meadow Fescue, Rough Stalk Meadow, Canadian Blue, Bromus Inermis or Awnless Brome, Crested Dog Tail, etc. In the clover mixture we employ Red, Mammoth, Alsike and W bite. A few of these components will disappear in two or three years, but the others are absolutely permanent. We vary the proportions to suit the different soils. Maule’s Permanent Pasture Mixture for Light and Sandy Soils. —Use at the rate of 60 pounds (3 bushels) per acre. Maule’s Permanent Pasture Mixture for Average Soils.—For general use, everywhere. Sow at the rate of 60 lbs. (3 bus.) per acre. Maule’s Permanent Pasture Mixture for Heavy Soils.—Use at the rate of 60 pounds (3 bushels) per acre.

On page 176 will be found a complete index of the botanical, as well as the common, name of all flowers in this book. The different varieties listed on the following pages are designated either as Annuals, Biennials or Perennials. Hardy Annuals. Easily raised and suitable for many purposes; excellent for cutting; invaluable for bedding, some for color, others for foliage effect. They will always be popular with those who want quick results with the least expenditure of time and money. Seed may be started in the open ground in early spring or sown indoors for earlier effect. Plants will flower and die in the one season. Half Hardy Annuals. Seeds should be sown in boxesin the house or in hot-beds during March or April and the plants set out inthe open ground in May. They will flower for the one season and die. Hardy Biennials. Sow seed as you would the hardy annual. The plants, will not bloom until the following year, after which they die. Half Hardy Biennials.

Seeds may be sown in early spring, or during July and August to produce plants that will flower the next season, and continue to bloom each succeeding year. Seed of some hardy perennials if sown very early will produce plants that will bloom the same season. It is unnecessary to give protection to these plants during the winter, but it will prove beneficial to the plants if a covering of leaves, litter or strawy manure is provided. A hardy bed or border, when once established, requires practically no attention and will, if varieties have been properly selected and arranged, provide an abundance of flowers from early spring until frost. Half Hardy Perennials. Sowseed as you would the half hardy annuals. If plants are set out in the open ground they must be lifted before frost, potted up and taken in the house during the will bloom and die the following season. winter. » e e e e e e List of Plants, Grown from Seed, Suitable for Special Purposes and Different Situations Plants Succeeding in Partial Shade Edging Plants for Bordering Walks Climbing and Trailing Vines : Page Page Page Ma Page and Beds /altrbeast terre ease 114 | Hop, Japanese..............132 Anchusa, Capensis .....- 115 | Delphinium.............5... 127 Page = Page Ampelopsis 114 | Ipomoea ....eeseeeeaee 132 Antirrhinum. -.. «115 | Digitalis .. ... 128 | African Gold Daisy...... 126 | Euphorbia, Variegata..128 Wristalochi 6 | Kudzu Vi ae TE aaa! 32 eo ak 2 hila... 130 stolochia.. ll udzu Vine, Japanese 132 Aquilegia ...

HENRY MAULE, Inc.. PHILADELPHIA, PA. Maule’s Flowerin: Bulbs, Roots, Etc. Everyone succeeds in growing plants from bulbs or roots. With but little care, excellent results may be obtained. After flowering, 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 phlox, iris, ponies, 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 yery 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, ete., are shipped on receipt. Should you wish us to re- serve the bulbs for future shipment, your instructions to that effect must be clearly specified at time ofordering. This applies especially to bulbs ordered during the winter months. We pack bulbs as carefully as possible and guarantee their safe arrival in good condition. With every order for bulbs a copy of our little pamphlet ‘‘Bulb Culture” will be enclosed. It contains many helpful suggestions. ~ Giant : : = Culture same as Amaryllis.

Maule’s Large Flowering Cannas For bedding purposes, cannas stand at the head of the list. No more satisfactory plant could be found; they succeed in all parts of the country, in any kind of soil, but will, of course, do better in rich soil, well prepared. In recent years, cannas haye been greatly improved. The old ‘Indian Shot Plant” was grown principally for its massive foliage; the flowers were insignificant. The newer types have flowers six to eight inches across, in great clusters of varied and rich colors, borne continuously allsummer.
