Maule’s Famous Lawn Grass Mixtures

Hi ‘ et
’s “Extra Quality” Lawn Grass Mixture
Unsurpassed for a velvety green, deep sod that will be permanent and showy through- out the spring, summer, and fall. Contains only the finest grasses suited for making a beautiful lawn.
No matter how beautiful your borders or shrubs, the general appearance of your home grounds depends primarily upon the condition of your lawn. We know that this special mixture, which has been carefully compounded, will give the kind of lawn which every home owner is proud to have. It contains the very finest grasses for lawn making and is free from common grasses which make tough blades or are inclined to form unsightly clumps. It also contains a small quantity of white clover which is desirable to have in the lawn because it helps thicken the sod and grows well together with the lawn grasses we have included. The experience of thousands of our customers is definite proof that Maule’s “Extra Quality” Lawn Grass seed is as good a mixture as can be had anywhere at any price. YZ Ib. 30c; 1b.50c; 2 Ibs. 90c; 5 lbs. $2.00; 10 Ibs. $3.75, postpaid. Not prepaid: 15 lbs. $4.50; 25 Ibs. $7.25; 50 Ibs. $14.25; 100 lbs. $28.00; 250 lbs. $67.50; 500 Ibs. $125.00.
884 Quick Results Lawn Grass Mixture A Rapid Growing, Velvety Grass
We recommend this mixture to all gardeners who want a beautiful effect in the shortest time possible. Besides the grasses which are suited for this purpose, we have included enough seed of others to insure permanent results to last as long as you take care of the lawn. You may expect to cut your lawn for the first time about 2 weeks earlier from this than from any other grass seed mixture. It is par- ticularly adapted for late spring and summer sowing. é

886 Maule’s “Steep Slope” Lawn Grass Mixture
A Lasting Grass, Specially Adapted for Embank- ments and Terraces
In order to establish a good sod on slopes, embankments, and terraces it is most essential that the grasses sown are deep rooting in order to hold the soil in place. This mixture has been compounded with this point in view. It contains only typical lawn grasses which have long, spreading root growth and will withstand considerable heat and dry weather. To prevent washing after the seed is sown, cover the bank with burlap or cloth until the young seedlings have taken hold of the soil. 14 Ib. 30c; Ib. 50c; 2 Ibs. 90c; 5 Ibs. $2.00; 10 Ibs. $3.75, post- paid.

885 Maule’s “‘Shady Lawn” Grass Mixture Flourishes under Trees or in Shady Nooks
Nothing spoils the good effect of an otherwise fine green lawn than bare spots in shaded corners or under trees. Using this grass mixture will help you considerably to do away with these unsightly sections as the grasses we have included in this mixture are naturally adapted for growing in semi-shaded positions. Proper preparation of the soil, an ample supply of plant food, and regular watering may be needed if natural rains do not reach the shaded spots in abundance.

887 Maule’s ‘Sunny South” Grass Mixture Especially Suited to Hot Climates
This mixture is adapted to our southern states where the ordinary lawn grass mixtures will not succeed sufficiently well to provide an even, smooth, rich green lawn. It is suited for growing in the South only as it contains southern grasses that will give a good sod even during the hot summer weather provide the lawn is watered liberally.

The shape of the beets is round or slightly flat- tened. The foliage is reddish green and somewhat smaller than that of Detroit Dark Red. The very dark red skin is exceptionally smooth. The color of the flesh is the darkest of any beet of this type showing hardly any zones at all. It is a late beet maturing 10 days after Detroit Dark!Red.

Mr. Burbank worked for many years on this excellent sweet corn which has the quality of Burpee’s Golden Bantam but excels it by haying ears which measure close to 7} in. in length.

(70 days) Every grower knows how much attractive- ness Means in a cucumber but that is only one of the reasons why Longfellow will become very popular as soon as it is better known. The other reasons are to be found in its ex- cellent quality. The fruits measure 12 to 14 in. in length and they are about 21 in. in diameter. They are therefore long and slender. The color of the skin is a beautiful and § uniform rich dark green so much desired by those who send | their cucumbers to market.

671 Tomato—Oxheart @
(120 days) Size is one of the most important factors in tomatoes and that ac- counts for the popularity which Oxheart has obtained since it was introduced. It is positively the largest of all tomatoes, bearing a truly enormous crop of solid fleshy, juicy fruits which have a beautiful purple-pink skin. Grown under good conditions the individual fruits will weigh a pound and a half each. Oxheart toma- toes are easily recognized by their shape which is distinctly that of an ox-heart.- The fruits show very few small seed cells and are all meat throughout, We highly recom- mend it for home gardeners and for market sale.

(65 days) This belongs to the type of peas with tender pods which greatly re- semble string beans in flavor, This new variety grows 28 to 32 in. tall. It makes a vigorous growth carrying a great quantity of paired pods. The pods measure 6 in. long and are about 1/4 in. broad. They are very fleshy, free from fiber, and very tender. It is a productive variety which has most desirable drought-resisting quali-
ties. Matures 15 days earlier than any other variety. Pkt. 20c; 14 1b. 50c; Ib. 85c.
376 Muskmelon—Delicious@
(70 days) This is an entirely new melon and should not be confused with an older melon carrying the same name. The fruits are not unlike Bender’s Surprise but they mature considerably earlier. The thick, luscious, and sweet flesh is of a beautiful salmon color. The rind is greenish yellow when ripe.

Tomato & 681 Pritchard or Scarlet Topper
(110 days) When a new tomato receives as much comment as this variety there must be something about it that places it in a class by itself. This variety was bred by the late Mr. Pritchard of the Department of Agricul- ture in Washington who succeeded most admirably in de- veloping a prolific strain which produces large, solid fruits of an intense scarlet-red color. The tomatoes are round, perfectly smooth, and of handsome appearance. Pkt. 15c; 14 oz. 30c; oz. 55c; 4 Ib. $1.65; 2 Ib. $3.00; 376 Muskmelon Ib. $5.50; 2 Ibs. $10.25; 5 Ibs. $24.75; 10 lbs. $46.75.

2 Green Globe Large, Productive, Choice Quality
This is the standard variety grown extensively for its buds or flower-heads which are highly esteemed in all the better class markets. They are a de- cided delicacy. Seed may be sown indoors, setting the plants outdoors, after all danger of frost is past, in rows 4 ft. apart and allowing 2 ft. between the plants. The plants are hardy, requiring winter protection in colder sections. They begin to pro- duce with the second season and yield heaviest during the first two or three years. Cut the old plants back to the ground in the fall and mulch with 5 or 6 in. of coarse manure. For heavy crops it should be planted in a rich, moderately moist but well drained soil where it will yield throughout the season. Pkt. 15c; % oz. 30c; oz. 45c; 14 Ib. $1.40; 12 Ib. $2.60; Ib. $4.75.
Asparagus
CULTURE—Sow the seed early in the spring in drills an inch apart in the row and 2 to 3 ft. apart between the rows. Firmly cover the seed with one inch of fine soil. As soon as the young plants ap- pear, begin shallow cultivation and keep free from weeds at all times. A packet will produce about 200 plants; one ounce about 750 plants; 4 to 5 Ibs. of seed is needed per acre. #
Asparagus roots should be planted in rows not less than 214 ft. apart, therefore requiring 100 roots for a patch 20 by 20 feet; 5,000 to 7,000 roots are needed to-plant one acre. Asparagus does best in a deep rich moist sandy loam with good drainage, thoroughly entiched with well rotted manure and with repeated top dressings of fertil- izers during the year.

There are many markets where wax beans are great favorites and our list of varieties includes flat-podded as well as round-podded kinds. As a general rule, the flavor of wax beans is somewhat milder than that of the green-podded varieties. Their rich light yellow color also has a special appeal usually associated with the idea of tender- ness and flavor. One packet will sow 25 ft. of row. One lb. for 100 ft.; 60 lbs. per acre.

Sow the seed in April or May in the open ground. Transplant in rows 3 ft. apart and 18 in, in the row. Break off the leaves along the stem to aid the formation of the small heads. A packet gives about 300 plants and an ounce is sufficient for 3000 plants. Brussels Sprouts is mostly grown for winter use, and as the plants are quite hardy they are allowed to remain in the garden until after frost. In faxt, the flavor of the young sprouts is greatly impraved after they have been frosted. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; % Ib. 65c; 14 Ib. $1.00; Ib. $1.75; 2 lbs. $3.20; 5 tbs. $7.70.

The round and turnip-shuped varieties are grown mosily for spring and summer use, though they are also excellent for fall and winter storing. The half-long kinds require a longer growing season and are known as good winter keepers. For a continuous supply of fresh roots, sow repeatedly from spring until mid- summer. A packet of seed is enough for 25 ft. of row; one ounce for 100 ft.; 5 to 6 Ibs. per acre. i

81 Maule’s Dark Red Egyptian
A Wonderful Extra-Early Table Beet (35 days) @
No other beet can replace this well established variety for earliness. Under favorable conditions the roots grow quickly and reach full size within the astonishingly short period of 35 days. This characteristic of quick growth has made Maule’s Dark Red Egyptian a favorite variety with many 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, attractiveness, uniform- ity, and the dark red color of the flesh are characteristics that will appeal to many gardeners.

We consider this at the top of the list as the earliest, finest, and most attrac- tive cauliflower. Every plant produces a head. It is a sure header whether planted for forcing in frames or grown outdoors for either early or late crop. The heads mature all at about the same time. The growth of the plants is dwarf and compact so that the plants can be set as close as 18 in. apart in the frame or field. Such close planting naturally means a greatly increased yield from a given space of ground. It is particularly desirable for forcing under glass.

Blue Ribbon Celery
CULTURE: Sow the seed thinly anytime from March 1 on in either boxes, coldframes, or in a specially prepared bed. Cover thinly but firmly with fine soil. Keep evenly and moderately moist until the seeds sprout. One packet of seed will provide about 400 plants; one oz. will give 7500 plants. Most gardeners figure on 14 lb. of seed being needed per acre. Keep the plants growing vigorously at all times and transplant once or twice before setting them into the garden or field where they are to stand in rows spaced 4 ft. apart. Allow about 6 in. between the plants in the row. For a late fall crop and winter storing, sow the seed in the open early in the spring when the ground can be prepared. Celery re- quires ample animal fertilizer and humus. It does best on muck soil due to its moisture
retentive quality.

Sweet or Sugar Corn
CULTURE: Plant the seed after all danger of frost is over and the ground has warmed up. Sow in rows 3 to4 ft. apart. Cover the seeds about one inch deep. Space the seed 8 in. apart in the rows. The most popular method, however, for field planting is to drop 3 to 4 seeds in hills spaced either 3 by 4 ft. or 4by 4 ft. Allow 2 to3 plants to remain in each hill. In order to provide a continuous supply of good fresh corn make succession plantings until about July 10. The final date of planting, of course, depends entirely upon your climatic condition. A packet of seed will plant four rows, each 25 ft. long; 44 lb. for 200 hills; 1214 lbs. per acre. bh
Golden or Yellow Varieties
223 The Burpee The Earliest Yellow Sweet Corn (53 days)
This is the earliest, choice yellow Sweet Corn in existence. The ears measure about 7 in. in length. They are closely set with twelve rows of large, broad, golden yellow kernels. Though it resembles the famous Golden Bantam corn in quality and flavor, the ears are considerably larger and are produced about a week sooner. The plants average from 5 to 7/4 ft. in height and produce on the average two good ears per plant. It is a remarkable variety for the home gardener who appreciates quality, and most profitable to market growers who benefit greatly from its earliness and outstanding qualities. Pkt. 15c; 1 lb. 30c; lb. 45c; 2 Ibs. 85c; 5 Ibs. $1.60; 10 lbs. $3.05, postpaid. Not prepaid: 15 lbs. $3.75; 251bs. $6.00; 50 lbs. $11.50; 100 lbs. $22.00.
207 Golden Bantam The Most Famous Sweet Corn (60 days)
No other Sweet Corn in existence has become as well known and as popular as Golden Bantam. It is an early variety with a honey-like sweetness and a rich buttery flavor which for years had no equal. The eight rows of broad, bright golden yellow kernels are covered with a fine tender skin enclosing a most delectable sweet pulp. The plants grow 5 ft. tall, each bearing 2 to 3 perfect ears about 6 in. long. A splendid variety for both the home garden and market. Pkt. 10c; 14 Ib. 20c; Ib. 35c; 2 Ibs. 55c; 5 Ibs. $1.20; 10 Ibs. $2.15, postpaid. Not prepaid: 15 Ibs. $2.40; 25 Ibs. $3.75; 50 Ibs. $7.00; 100 Ibs. $13.00.
213 Barden’s Wonder Bantam Large Yellow Ears (60 days)
A newer yellow-grained Sweet Corn of the same height, season, and quality as Golden Bantam. It differs from it by having larger ears measuring 8 to 10 in. in length and being closely set with eight rows of rich golden yellow kernels. The plants grow from 5 to 6 ft. tall. This variety will appeal to both the home gardener and market grower who must have the Golden Bantam quality but prefers a somewhat larger ear. We highly recommend it.

217 Burpee’s Sunnybrook Luscious Golden Yellow (65 days)
This follows Golden Bantam very closely in season of maturity. The handy, well shaped ears measure about 7 in. in length and are closely set with ten rows of medium size, bright rich creamy yellow, tender skinned grains of a sweetness and tastiness that places it among Sweet Corns of the highest quality. The plants make a strong growth, 5 to 6 ft. tall, and bear an abundance of ears well protected by a thick husk. Pkt. 10c; 14 Ib. 25c; Ib. 45c; 2 ibs. 85c; 5 Ibs. $1.55; 10 Ibs. $2.90, postpaid.

211 Golden Giant Large Yellow Ears. Very Sweet (65 days)
This is a cross between Golden Bantam and Howling Mob. It combines the distinct buttery flavor of Golden Bantam with the size of Howling Mob—a combination representing the most desirable character- istics for a good home garden and market variety. The plants grow 4)% to 6 ft. tall, each one producing 2 to 3 good ears which measure 7 to 9 in. in length. The kernels are arranged in 12 or 14 even rows. It has thoroughly established itself in many sections. Pkt. 10c; 12 Ib. 25c; Ib. 35c; 2 Ibs. 60c; 5 Ibs. $1.25; 10 ibs. $2.25, postpaid.

229 Bantam Evergreen Late and Productive (70 days)
As the name implies, this splendid variety is a cross between the famous Golden Bantam and the no less popular White Evergreen. In combining the characteristics of these two varieties, the breeder suc- ceeded exceptionally well in retaining not only much of the luscious, sweet and buttery flavor of Golden Bantam but also the size and prolifieness of the Evergreen variety. The plants are vigorous, growing 6 to 7 ft. tall. Each plant produces two large perfect ears measuring about 8 in. in length and closely set with 12 or 14 well rounded, rather broad, deep grains of a rich golden yellow color.

Beautiful Golden Yellow Ears Maturing a Week to Ten Days Earlier Than Golden Bantam (53 days)
We would like to see every grower of Sweet Corn plant a good size plot of this splendid variety to
convince himself of its remarkable qualities. Its earliness alone is a factor that should appeal to everyone whether he grows Sweet Corn for market or for home use. When we say that it has the Golden Bantam flavor we know that thousands of growers will realize that it has a sweet and but- tery flayor of exceptional lusciousness. Its limited habit of growth, the plants are only 4! ft. tall, makes it possible to grow the rows closely together and therefore increase the yield from a given area. Most plants produce two perfectly-formed large ears about 61% to 7 in. in length. There are twelve rows of bright yellow, sweet grains to the ear. There are already thousands of gardeners who grow this excellent variety and we know that many thousands more will grow it this season.

Maule’s Sweet or
Earliest and Second-Early White Varieties
206 Maule’s Ideal Early
If you want delicious corn on your table on July 4th, plant this extremely hardy, early, large-eared variety. In this early corn we have a variety which has a sweetness equal to most true Sweet or Sugar Corns. It will germinate satisfactorily under conditions which would spell failure to the regular Sweet Corn and can safely be planted much earlier. It adapts itself to any kind of soil, either sandy or heavy. The stalks grow 6 ft. tall, a characteristic that will appeal to the gardener who is interested in securing a crop of fodder besides a heavy yield of ears. Our own claims for this variety could be based on prejudice but when grower after grower comes back to us year after year usually for an increased quantity of Maule’s Ideal Early Sweet Corn, even the skeptical must realize that it must have desirable characteristics. The 12 rows of pearly white grains are exceedingly sweet and tasty. Pkt. 10c; 14 Ib. 20c; Ib. 35c; 2 Ibs. 65c; 5 Ibs. $1.35; 10 Ibs. $2.50, postpaid.

An Extra Early, Large Eared, True Sweet Corn (55 days)
A handsome variety of extra early maturity and a quality that will appeal to those who appreciate the delicate, sweet and fine flavor found in the best of Sweet Corns. It produces 8 or 10 rows of pearly white grains on a large pink cob, and earries more ears per plant than any other early variety. It is especially desirable for gardeners who wish to benefit from the high prices obtained by being the first on the market with home-grown Sweet Corn. It is likely to bring double the price that other varieties command later. The plants make a growth of moderate height which makes it possible to plant them more closely than the taller growing varieties. If this is done the yield from a given area is increased quite a bit, making this variety particularly profitable. Pkt. 10c; 12 lb. 25c; Ib. 40c; 2 Ibs. 75c; 5 Ibs. $1.35; 10 ibs. $2.50, postpaid.

219 Howling Mob Early, Large, Thick, Sweet Ears (65 days)
It is interesting to know how this splendid early variety came to be named Howling Mob. The originator, a market grower, used to take it to market where it was sold in competition against other varieties. Cus- tomers soon came to recognize its outstanding sweetness and delicious flavor, and soon after opening his stand crowds gathered about it clamoring to get a supply. It was truly a ‘‘Howling Mob”’ that besieged the grower day after day. Nothing else is as much proof of quality in a vegetable than popular demand. We fully agree that it is an excellent, early white sweet corn for both market use and home growing. The ears are 7 to 9 in. long and have 12 to 16 rows of pearly white grains. The plants grow about 5 ft. tall, bearing two ears each. Pkt. 10c; 12 1b. 25c; 1b. 35c; 21bs. 55c; 5 Ibs. $1.20; 10 lbs. $2.15, postpaid.

Possesses a Most Delicious Sugary Flavor (68 days)
This is one of our great specialties and we have carefully guarded its outstanding qualities to protect growers in getting, year after year, a corn of the same high quality. We have customers who have bought it from us in quantities ever since it was introduced many years ago. It has won national fame for itself on the merits it possesses. Again and again customers have written us that they consider it the most delicious, sugary Sweet Corn they have ever tasted. This opinion is likely based upon the fact that it re- tains its rich sugary flavor over a long period. Even after the time when it is at its best has passed, it still is as sweet and delectable as many other varieties when at the height of perfection. The stalks grow 5 to 6 ft. high, producing large 12 to 16 rowed ears measuring 9 to 10 in. in length. Will produce a good crop sown as late as July 5 to 10.

220 Early Evergreen £arlier than Stowell’s (70 days)
This is a special strain which resembles Stowell’s Evergreen in every way, except that it will mature full- size edible ears in 70 days, whereas Stowell’s Evergreen requires fully 80 days to mature a crop. The plants grow 7 ft. tall and are very vigorous. Many of them bear-two ears to the plant. The ears are 7 to 8 in. long. They are closely set with 16 rows or more of pearly white, deep, moderately narrow grains of excellent flavor. Pkt. 10c; \% Ib. 25c; Ib. 35c; 2 Ibs. 55c; 5 Ibs. $1.15; 10 Ibs. $2.05, postpaid.

210 Burpee’s Delicious Sweet Flavored (70 days)
Upon seeing the ears of this variety one is immediately impressed with their resemblance to those of Golden Bantam Sweet Corn, though the ears are considerably larger and the grains are of a beautiful pearly white color. This resemblance is not just superficial but due to the fact that it has been derived from Golden Bantam and has inherited not only the depth and breadth of the kernels but also a good amount of the wonderful flavor of the famous Golden Bantam. It makes a strong growth, 5 to 7 ft. high. Well pro- tected by a strong firm husk is an ear measuring close to 8 in. in length with 12 or 14 rows of broad deep white luscious buttery kernels.

205 Maule’s Colossal Early «
We Claim That This is the Finest Large Eared Sugar Corn in Existence (70 days)
When a variety of Sweet Corn not only holds its own for a period of over 22 years but its sales increase with every season, it simply must be good. While its days to mature have been given above as 70, we know of many instances where, due to favorable con- ditions, it has produced its first ears within 58 to 62 days after planting. That, of course, is most unusual for a corn of this size and character. Quality in Sweet Corn is, however, more important for its popularity than season of maturity. You must taste freshly- picked Maule’s Colossal before you can realize just how good it is. With most people quantity must go hand in hand with quality, and Maule’s Colossal Early combines the two in a most generous measure. The ears are7 to 9 in. long and frequently 2 to 3 in. thick with 12 or 14 rows of large sweet kernels that fairly melt in your mouth. The ° plants are 6 to 7 ft. tall, many of them carrying 2 to 3 ears on a stalk.

The variety is easily recognized by the irregular arrangement of the kernels. The seeds also are quite distinct. Being long and narrow the variety has earned the byname Shoe Peg Corn. The ears are quite large, 7 to 8 in. long, with a small white cob thickly covered with long slender white grains of exceptional sweetness. The plants carry as many as three ears each.

Many new varieties have come into existence since the day Stowell’s Evergreen was first offered for sale, yet it is more popular today than it has been ever before. The answer to this is quality, exceptional quality! The ears are 8 to 9 in. long. They are set with 16 or 18 rows of very deep, sweet kernels. Continued selection year after year has given our strain a uniformity which was lacking in former years. It has an enviable reputation for home growing, market, and canning.

222 Maule’s “‘Lead All” Evergreene
A Most ProductiveLate Type of Evergreen Sweet Corn with Extra LargeSize Ears of Superb Quality (85 days)
In introducing this corn some years ago we realized that increased size linked with superior quality were most important features that would appeal to home gardeners and market growers. 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 Sto- well’s Evergreen. The plants 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. They are thick and heavy, closely set with 16 or 18 rows of large, white, sweet grains. Noted for its drought-resistant qualities. Retains its fine flavor better than most other varieties.

Late varieties of Sweet Corn, while perhaps not as valuable as extra early varieties, nevertheless fill an important place and make it possible to provide for a continuous supply of good fresh corn from plantings made all at one time.

Growing Bumper Crops from Maule’s Seeds
Nothing is of greater importance to the grower of vege- tables than the quality of the seed he sows. Even the most skeptical must realize that no house could exist for over 50 years unless it was giving full satisfaction to its customers.
Though we recommend that you stick to the good old sort _ with which you are acquainted, we nevertheless suggest that you try some of the newer varieties which, in almost every case, represent an improvement in one way or an- other. In this way you will become acquainted with what is new and determine for yourself whether it fills your needs.
You know that we guarantee “your money back if not satisfied.”” This has been our slogan for years. The reason why we are able to make this guarantee is because “no better seeds than Maule’s can be had at any price.”
To help you in selecting the varieties best suited for your purpose we not only give full description but we also in- dicate the number of days required by the crop from the time the seed is sown until it is ready for use. These dates must necessarily be approximate since weather and soil conditions have a great influence upon this factor. As the dates are all relative you can easily determine which va- rieties are early and which are of late maturity.
We know this to be the fact through the trials we make every year. Few people have any idea of what these trials mean to them. There is no other way of insuring our customers of the highest quality seeds but by actual tests. Hach strain is carefully compared with all other leading strains of the same variety in existence.
For Summer and Winter Radishes, see next page 49
Summer radishes require a longer season to Winter radishes require cool weather at the end of their growing season and mature than the spring radishes. They are for that reason they are planted during the summer. They thrive in a light adapted for sowing early in the spring to mature sandy soil of moderate fertility. Sow the seed 14 in. deep in rows spaced 15 to during the summer, or they may be planted 24 in. apart any time during June, July, or early August. Thin the seedlings to later to be ready for the table any time before stand 4 to 6 in. apart when they are large enough to be handled. Cultivate the frost. For a continuous supply sow every two crop frequently to preserve soil moisture and keep down the weeds. One packet weeks until September. One packet for 20 ft. will sow 20 ft. of row; 1 oz. 100 ft; 8 to 10 lbs per acre.

A moderately rich soil is best suited for growing tomatoes. Sow the seed in February or March in a hot bed, greenhouse, or in shallow boxes placed in a sunny window. Cover the seed 4% in. deep and when the young seedlings are about 2 in. tall, transplant to boxes or other parts of the frame. They are ready for setting into the field after all danger of frost has passed. One packet gives 100 plants; an ounce
3,500 plants for an acre.

Tobacco
Select a location with a southern exposure, if pos-
sible, to give the plants the benefit of the warm rays of the sun in early spring, so that they will make a speedy growth. The soil should be a rich and friable loam preferably containing some leaf- mold. Prepare it thoroughly until it is entirely pulverized. Rocks, roots, etc., should be carefully removed.

A Planting Calendar of Flowers—
For Better and Brighter Gardens Including the Newest Introductions and All the Old Favorites
This planting calendar of flowers will help you to de- termine what you can plant every month during the growing season. There are many gardeners who do not realize that flower seeds can be planted all during the spring, summer, and fall. Take advantage of the oppor- Bas tunity to provide for a continuous display of a wide variety _ ___ of flowers from early spring until late in the‘fall. For an = extra early display, quite a few of the annual flowers may be started indoors during February, March, or April in boxes filled with fine soil.

Sow During June
Nearly all flowers listed for April and May planting will give satisfactory results if sown during this month. June is ideal also for sowing perennial seeds in a special seed bed. The plants will be of good size for setting in a permanent place the latter part of August or September. You can also still start your lawn during June providing you can water it regularly during the hot summer months.
Wm. Henry Maule, Philadelphia, Pa.
Sow During July
Quick growing annuals may be sown during July and still make a fine show later in the season. They include Ageratum, Sweet Alyssum, California Poppies, Larkspur, Petunias, Phlox, and others. Of course, care must be taken to water them thoroughly while the weather remains dry. It is still a good time to start perennials in a specially prepared seed bed in a half-shaded location.
Sow During August
In sections where summers are relatively long, seeds of perennials can still be sown for plants which will be strong enough to live through the winter and produce their flowers the following year. They should be given a light winter protection of long straw or other materials which will not pack down heavily. It is now time to consider your planting of fall bulbs. Therefore, apply for a copy of Maule’s Bulb Book which will be sent you free of charge as soon as it is ready in August.
Plant During September
Dutch bulbs, such as Tulips, Hyacinths, Narcissus, Crocus, and others. Also prepare your ground for Lily bulbs, many of which should be planted now and up to the middle of December. It is a good time now to start a lawn in sections with long growing seasons and mild winters.
Plant During October
All the bulbs mentioned for planting in September as well as perennial plants, hardy climbers, etc., may be planted to advantage during this month. Fall sowing of hardy annuals should be made the latter part of October or early in November. These will bloom early the following year.

Arctotis 965 Scapigera
This is closely related to the popu- lar Blue-Eyed African Daisy and has the same kind of large daisy- like flowers, but excels it consider- ably in its wide range of beautiful, rich colors—orange, copper-red, yellow, cream, salmon, carmine, etc. Besides solid colors many of the blooms are richer toward the ends of the petals.

1272 Dahlia, Unwin's Dwarf Hybrids
1272 Unwin’s Dwarf Hybrids These bed- ding Dahlias are as easy to grow from seed as Asters or Zinnias and therefore are unlike the type of Dahlia with which you are acquainted. They are, though quite different, fully as de- sirable because they make splendid round bushes covered with large single and semi- double blooms in a magnificent and wide range of rich, bright colors. Because of their compact growth they do not require staking, rarely exceeding a height of 24 in. This makes them particularly suitable for beds and bor- ders. Planted early in the spring indoors, they will begin blooming in July and con- tinue until severe frost. Pkt. 35c; ¥ oz. 85c; 4 oz. $1.50.
African Daisy

Giant Imperial Larkspur
1433 Gloria The Giant Imperial type of Larkspur is by far the most popular because the stately plants branch freely at the base so that the individual flower spikes are exceptionally long-stemmed. Beautiful deep rose blooms. Pkt. 30c; %4 oz. 60c; 14 oz. $1.10.
1434 Peachblossom of the same splendid habit as Gloria but the flowers are a delicate peachblossom-pink color.

MAULE’S SUPERIOR ASTERS—TESTED AND GUARANTEED TO GROW
Every Garden - Large or Small - Should Include — Maule’s Beautiful Asters |
Asters, or China Asters as they are often called, are easy to grow and give a wonderful display of large showy blooms which are suitable for beds, borders, and for cutting. There are quite a few types to choose from, according to the arrangement and shape of the petals which compose the large double blooms, and there is also quite some differ- ence in the blooming season. You may select early, mid-season, or late varieties to suit your particular purpose, or better still, plant some
of each. 1033 Aster, Maule's Earliest Blooming, For early blooming start Aster seed indoors in boxes during March and set the young Mixed plants into the garden after all danger of frost has passed, or you may sow the seed
outcoors when the nights have become balmy. You may start the seed outdoors either in a special seed bed or sow where they are to bloom.
Maule’s Earliest Blooming
This is the earliest-blooming type of all Asters with lovely, large, rounded blooms composed of moderately long, broad petals. The blooms are carried on medium stems, sufficiently long for cutting. Also very valuable for bed- ding. The plants grow 15 to 18 in. tall and bloom during June. Start the seed indoors during February or March. e

Giant Astermum
These Asters are extremely popular with many gar- deners. The blooms are not only extremely large but they are heavy, well rounded, and supported by fine long and strong stems. The name Astermum refers to the similarity of the elegantly formed blooms to those of a choice Japanese Chrysanthemum. The individual petals of Astermums are long, narrow, and artistically curled and twisted, which gives the blooms particular charm and grace. Giant Astermum Asters bloom during mid-season and form strong growing, well branched plants 2 to 21% ft. tall. The branches start from the base each ending in a large flower on a long stem which gives them their value for cutting. The individual blooms measure 4 in. across.

984 Giant Astermum Lavender
American Beauty
This is a magnificent true American strain of Asters which excels all others in vigorous habit, size of bloom, free blooming character, and sturdy growth. They are a mid-season type which will continue to flower freely until cut down by frost. The plants grow 2 to 2% ft. tall and make a graceful, round, well branched bush. Due to the fact that the stems all start near the base of the plants the flowers are extremely long stemmed, which gives them particular value for cutting. The blooms are well rounded and always fully double. They are made up of broad incurved petals gracefully arranged in an orderly but by no means stiff arrangement.

You will find the finest self colors including, white, yellow, pink, rose, blue, purple, and the rare, desirable red shades. Others have clearly defined mahogany-brown eyes, and still others are attractively veined and bordered with contrasting colors. While some flowers are wide and flaring, others have attractively waved petals of graceful appearance. Hach year we follow closely the new creations intro- duced by Pansy specialists from all over the world and secure every- thing truly meritorious, disregarding cost, for adding into this mix- ture. This insures our customers of obtaining the very best Pansies in existence. Pkt. 25c; 1/16 oz. 85c; 44 oz. $1.60.
1600 Maule’s Giant Phenomenal This lovely mixture has not lost its appeal ever since we introduced it to the American public years ago. We have continually improved upon it, and thousands of our friends now know and greatly admire these lovely flowers. The strain originated in France, and consists of only the largest, ‘choicest, and most ‘“‘phenomenal”’ specimens that could be selected. Phenomenal Pansies come in a wide range of most exquisite colors and color combinations, in- cluding those captivating wine-red shades so rare among Pansies. We urge every-
'} one to include a packet or two in his order. Pkt. 15c; 1/16 oz. 40c; ¥ oz. 70c.
Ever since we have been in business we have given partic- ular attention to Pansy seed. Year after year we have care- fully re-selected our strains, (and are still doing so) to be quite sure to maintain the high standard for which Maule’s Pansy seeds are known to our many customers both here in our own United States and abroad. And we know from the many testimonials sent us that we have been success- ful in our efforts. Maule’s Pansy seeds can be relied upon to produce long stemmed, mammoth size flowers of heavy substance and the most refined colors imaginable. Pansies grow to perfection in open sunny locations in rich, deeply spaded soil which should be moderately moist but well drained. Sow the seed early in the spring in a carefully prepared bed and keep the planting evenly moist. When large enough to handle, transplant to where to bloom. Midsummer planting—the latter part of July or early August—will produce blooming plants early the following spring.
1594 Oregon Giants, Mixed A; implied in the name, this strain is of American origin. It has truly giant flowers of a size heretofore unknown in Pansies. The fine broad petals are somewhat more flattened than those of most other strains, which

72B26 Golden Banded Lily of Japan
(Auratum platyphyllum) This is a great favorite of all gardeners. It is a wonderful variety, first found on sacred Mt. Fujy in Japan.

It blooms from July until
September and will grow from 3 to 6 ft. tall. Cover the bulb |
with 12 in. of fine soil. Does well in sun or in semi shade. Needs perfect drainage and cannot stand manure or lime. Place the bulb upon a handful of sand and mix a little leaf mold with the soil used in covering the bulb. Delightfully fragrant. 40c each; 3 for $1.10; 6 for $2.00.
