Maule’s Seeds ““ Once Grown, Always Grown” Grow More Vegetables This Year At the time this book is being printed, a large part of the world is at war. Many of us remember the last war and the great food shortages. Now, with more countries at war or taken over by another, there is more reason to realize that there may be a great food shortage this year. Canada, South America, and other countries are buying big quantities of seed from us as they cannot get any seed from Europe. We must help them but we must also take care of our good friends in this country. We want to tell all our customers frankly that there may be a very severe shortage of some kinds of vegetable seeds. You should order your seeds early this year. If you are not using all your ground, plan on having a bigger garden than you have ever had before. Make your garden produce more. A few dollars expended for seeds and an hour or two of work each day’ will give surprising results. Even a back-yard garden can furnish a good supply of vegetables for the family. We urge you to send in your order as soon as possible. And don’t forget to include flower ‘seeds—they add so much to your garden and to home decoration and family enjoyment. This is not a “‘sales’’ message, but sound advice to our friends. We hope you will favor us with your order; but in any case, plant a garden and add to this country’s food supply. Yours for a Successful Garden in 1941, 4015 Clarissa St. Philadelphia, Pa.

HENRY MAULE, 4015 CLARISSA ST., PHILADELPHIA Propageno, Italian or Sprouting Broccoli aule’s Bush Lima Beans Culture: Lima Beans grow best on rich, well-drained, porous soil. As seed is sensitive to cold and wet, do not plant until all danger of frost is over; wait until the soil is warm and moderately dry, which is usually about the middle of May in the vicinity of Philadelphia. In most sections limas are planted about 2 weeks after the first planting of bush or snap beans. Plant in drills 2.to 3 ft. apart, spacing the seed 6 in. apart, and set them edgewise with the eye downward and cover with 2 in. of soil. Later thin to stand 18 to 24 in. apart in the rows. Cultivate shallow and frequently until the plants blossom. Pick the pods as soon as the beans are of edible size. A packet will plant about 25 ft. of row; use 1 Ib. for 100 ft.; use 60 lbs. to an acre. 60 IMPROVED FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA BEAN % Larger and thicker pods than Fordhook Bush (75 days) The strong and erect, bushy plants produce a heavy growth of dark green foliage, which protects the blossoms and pods from direct sunlight. The large, thick pods are produced in clusters of from 5 to 8, and contain 4 or 5 thick, meaty, plump, green beans of excellent flavor. The sturdy, vigorous plants, 24 to 30 in. in height, spread out nearly 2 ft. and stand up well against wind and rains. Begins bearing very early and continues to produce until frost.

Beans are an indispensable part of every ; ¢ garden. Nearly everyone likes them; some prefer the green-pods; others the yellow : ee oe a or wax-pods, and many include some varieties of each in their plantings. Now that stringless, more tender and better flavored varieties have been developed, is it any wonder that beans, especially the dwarf or bush type, are rapidly gaining in popu- larity? Make succession plantings for a continuous supply. Have plenty for daily use and to can for winter.

Home gardeners and market growers are nearly all familiar with this popular bean. It is generally recognized as one of the really outstanding varieties of its class. This popularity is not due to any one characteristic of the variety but to a combination of many fine qualities. The first requirement of the average home gardener is for a bean of good quality with tender, stringless pods; earliness and hardiness of growth might also be considered. All these qualities are found in Pencil-Pod Black Wax. The appearance of the pods is of great importance, as a ready sale depends on an attractive display. Here again Pencil-Pod fills the bill, as its gracefully curved pods will always draw atten- tion. The seed, when ripe, is jet black.

A packet is enough for 20 poles, 1 lb. for 100 poles, 30 Ibs. to an acre. Pole beans may also be planted along a fence or trellis, using 1 lb. to 250 ft. of row. Keep vines closely picked throughout the season if you wish to prolong their bearing. 43 KENTUCKY WONDER OR OLD HOMESTEAD (65 days) Most popular of all green-podded pole beans for home or market. Early and profuse bearer Ever since the introduction of this variety in 1877, it has been a favorite among the gardeners of this and many other countries. Its adaptability to varying soil and climatic conditions has, no doubt, been largel responsible for this remarkable popularity. The variety can also meet every other requirement for a hig quality bean, and it fully merits the position which it has created for itself. The plants are sturdy in their growth and very’productive. The pods, which are borne in clusters, are from 7 to 8 in. in length, nearly round, fleshy and tender. When young, they are entirely free from string or fiber, although small strings develop later in the season. These strings do not impair the quality of the pods, and they can be eaten until late in the season. The light brown seeds have a fine and distinctive flavor which makes them suitable for use as shell beans. Pkt. 10¢; 1% lb. 20¢; Ib. 35¢; 2 Ibs. 55¢; 5 lbs. $1.20; 10 Ibs. $2.15, postpaid.

HENRY MAULE, THE OLD RELIABLE SEED HOUSE, PHILADELPHIA Maule’s Noxall Pole Bean Kentucky i Wonder Wax Pole Bean Maule’s Pole Lima Beans Culture: Pole lima beans prefer a warm, sandy loam soil, enriched with well-rotted stable manure. Do not plant until the ground ig warm and moderately dry and the weather is quite settled. Set poles 4 ft. each way, and plant 4 to 6 beans around each pole, placing them with the eye downward to encourage quick germination. Cover 2 in. deep. After the seedlings are well started, thin out, leaving 2 strong plants to each pole. Cultivate shallow and frequently. Use one packet to 10 poles; 1 lb. to 50 poles; 30 Ibs. to an acre. Small plantings may be made along a fence or trellis, putting several beans a foot apart, later thinning to one strong plant. Such plantings would require 1 lb. to about 100 ft. of row. 53 KING OF THE GARDEN—the old reliable Pole Lima (88 days) One of the leading varieties with home and market gardeners Wherever pole lima beans are known, King of the Garden is almost certain to be one of the most popular and widely grown varieties. The vines are very sturdy in their growth, climbing to a height of from 6 to 10 ft. and with a considerable spread of branches. The pods are from 5 to 7 in. in length and contain 5 or 6 large beans which are tender and of delicious flavor. Pods are borne close to the ground early in the season and higher up on the plant as the season progresses. Bearing will continue until frost has killed the vines. The continued popularity of King of the Garden, in spite of the competition offered by newer varieties, is really the only recommendation that should be needed to convince both home and market gardeners that it is a bean everyone should grow and one that can be grown with confidence. Our strain of King of the Garden has been carefully selected for uniformity, length of pod, earliness of maturity and hardiness. This selection, along with care in growing and harvesting, insures a satisfactory crop for our customers. : Pkt. 10¢; 1% lb. 25¢; Ib. 40¢; 2 lbs. 70¢; 5 Ibs. $1.30; 10 lbs. $2.40, postpaid.

Late sowings give best beets for winter use. ; 82 Maule’s Market Gardeners Never past its prime (65 days) The popularity of this splendid beet is well deserved, for it is always good; it makes no difference whether they are young or old, small or large.

They grow rapidly into a solid, firm-fleshed root that is par- ticularly suited for winter storing. It is valuable alike to market growers and home gardeners.

Maule’s Celery Culture: For earliest celery, sow the seed thinly in-the house or hotbed in February or early March. For a late crop for fall use or winter storing, sow the seed in frames or a specially prepared seedbed in the open ground as early in the spring as the soil can be worked up into a loose condition. Cover seed with no more than 4 in. of fine soil. Keep evenly and moderately moist until the seeds sprout, which usually requires two weeks. Set plants 6 to 8 in. apart in single rows 4 ft. apart or double rows 1 ft. apart, allowing 4 ft. of space between each double row. Celery requires rich, well-manured soil and plenty of moisture for best results. It does especially good on muck soil. A packet of seed will provide about 400 plants; one oz. about 7,500 plants. Four ounces of seed are needed for an acre. 182 GIANT PASCAL OR WINTER KING (140 days) Enormously productive; thick, solid, stringless, and brittle Stalks are thick, solid, entirely stringless, brittle, and of a rich, nutty flavor.

Maule’s ‘‘Lead All’’ Evergreen combines extra- large size with the superb quality found in other Sweet Corns of the Evergreen type. It produces truly handsome ears which are sweeter and larger than either Country Gentleman or Stowell’s Evergreen. The stalks grow 8 to 9 ft. tall, an indication of their vigorous habit and productiveness. Most of the plants produce two fine, well-developed ears measuring anywhere from 8 to 10 in. in length.

While Colossal Early averages 88 days to maturity, many gardeners in different sections have written us that it has produced its first ears within 78 to 80 days after planting. Quality in Sweet Corn is, however, more important for its popularity than season of maturity. Ears are 7 to 9 in. long and frequently 2 to 3 in. thick, with 12 or 14 rows ca of large white kernels of remarkable sweetness. Stalks grow 6 to 7 ft. . tall, many of them carrying 2 or 3 ears each.

Ebenezer or “ Japanese” Onion Sets at S Onion Sets Small, clean sets, vigorous, and of choicest quality Culture: Onion sets should be planted as early in the spring as the ground can be worked. Make furrows about 1 in. deep and press the onions into the surface lightly but do not cover; have the rows 12 to 18 in. apart and set the onions about 2 in. apart in the row. Green onions may be had in a few weeks. In the vicinity of Philadelphia, onions large enough to cook are ready in early July, but if large, ripe onions are wanted, it is usually about the middle of July before they can be harvested. By planting sets, onions can be produced for market or household use four to six weeks earlier than can be had from seed. A pound of onion sets will plant a row about 100 ft. long. Use 250 to 325 lbs. to an acre. The early lifting of an onion crop allows for the sowings of quick maturing crops on the same ground the same season. ee 99 69B76 Ebenezer or ‘Japanese Large, golden yellow onions that are remarkably mild and of a very delicate flavor; flattened in shape and wonderful keepers.

HENRY MAULE, PHILADELPHIA 39 MAULE’S QUALITY PEAS SE Fresh young peas, picked from the vines and cooked as soon as possible thereafter, are one of the most delicious : vegetables. Early maturing peas are divided into two groups—the ripened seeds of one are smooth while the others are wrinkled. Seed of the hardier smooth-seeded varieties should be sown as early in the spring as the ground can be worked. Wrinkled-seeded varieties are more susceptible to cold weather, so the seed should not be sown until all danger of frost has passed. By planting some of the early, medium and late varieties at the same time, a continuous supply of fresh peas may be enjoyed for a long time. Successive sowings of each variety may be made every 10 days until May 10. Sow again late in August for a fall crop. Space the rows 2 to 2% ft. apart for dwarf varieties; 214 to 3 ft. apart for tall varieties. Cover the seed 1 to 2 in. deep. A packet will sow about 20 ft. of row; a pound 100 ft.; 120 Ibs. of seed are needed to sow one acre. Varieties growing more than 2 ft. tall do better if staked up or otherwise supported. : Smooth-Seeded Early Peas Seed can be planted as early in the spring as ground can be prepared 488 Maule’s Earliest of All or Alaska (54 days) % Hardy, prolific and popular , E Ne The main reliance of thousands of truckers and gardeners who wish to be first in market with new peas.
