Every Market Gardener

in the United States or Canada, should have my special wholesale price list, which

will be mailed free to all who will apply for it who are raising truck for sale. It will
prove a money-saver. Prices are right, goods are right, and as hundreds of my
market gardener friends have remarked: ‘Once a customer for Maule’s Seeds always a
customer.” If you are a market gardener you had better send a request for it today.

I offer no confusing discounts, no free books, nor trial
packages; but each and every customer may select their
own premium on a basis of

50 Cents Worth Extra in Packets for Every
Dellar Remitted for Packets and Ounces Only

I wish to call the attention of my customers to the fact
that this discount does not apply to quarter pounds, half
pounds, pounds, pints, quarts, pecks or bushels, nor does it
apply to plants, bulbs, small fruits or trees. On completion of
your order add the total amount sent for seeds by the packet
and ounce, and for each one dollar remitted for seeds in these
quantities, you may select your own premium on the basis
of fifty cents worth of packets extra for each dollar remitted.

Special.—Y our premium of 50 cts. extra on each dollar re-
mitted tor packets and ounces must be selected In packets only.

2 _______ THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1911

The Business Seed Book for 1911 a

Look over this catalogue from end to end, and I am sure old friends as well as new readers
will admit that it is the most business-like seed catalogue I have ever put out. All frills of
every kind have been dispensed with. I blew my horn last year. I do not do it this year,
as I consider it bad taste to constantly ding dong into the ears of customers the facts of how
great a man you think you are. My guarantee of

“Your Money Back if not Satisfied”’

covers everything, nothing could be more sweeping; and certainly if such houses as Sears, Roe-
buck & Co., Montgomery Ward & Co., etc., etc., can guarantee satisfaction, there is no reason
under the sun why Wm. Henry Maule should not do business the same way, and I do it.

No better seeds than Maule’s can be had at any price

Every customer for Maule’s Seeds must be satisfied. This policy, as my friends well know,
has built up one of the largest, if not the largest strictly mail order seed business in America.

Now as to Crops and Prices: Some things are very short, particularly Peas, Beets, Rad-
ishes, ete.; but after a close examination of the prices in this book, you will find very few things
advanced, while there are a number of reductions from last year’s prices. J have never entered
a season since I have been in business with such large stocks of seeds of every kind as this year.
Furthermore, I have enlarged my facilities to such an extent that I can take care of fully 30 per
cent. more business than last year; even if I have a rush like last March, which was the greatest
I have ever known, I am sure to keep up with it, and instead of waiting a week for your goods,
they should be on their way within 24 hours after the order is received.

Thanking my friends for the greatest trade the last twelve months I have ever had, and

also Market and 18th Streets

with best wishes for the new year,
P. O. Box 1296 Philadelphia, Pa.

IV. AS REPRESENTED.—1 guarantee

prove otherwise, I will refill the order free of

understood that I do not guarantee the crop

Five Per Cent. Discount

gy An examination of this book will convince every reader that the prices are most
reasonable, and that the seeds are worth every penny asked for them. However,
if your order amounts to $100.00 or more and the cash accompanies the order,
you are entitled to a further discount of 5 per cent. In other words, you can
purchase $100.00 worth of Maule’s Seeds for $95.00, provided cash is sent with the order. Do not
misunderstand the above discount, it applies only to orders amounting to $100.00 sent in at one
time. It cannot be allowed on separate orders that when combined would aggregate $100.00 or more.

WM. HENRY MAULE, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Vegetable Seeds—3

the early Spring in

than returns from
origin, but suitable

Asparagus

CuULTURE.—The seed before sowing should be well soaked in water. Sowin

drills. Coyer with 1 inch of soil, cultivate freely. One ounce will produce about
400 plants; 4 to 5 pounds to the acre. The following Spring set out the roots to
a permanent bed, in rows 2 to 5 feet apart, 18 inches apart in the rows. Spread
out the roots as much as possible, covering with 2 inches of soil.

iy trade in Asparagus Roots has grown at a tremendous rate for the last
five years. I have in mind one customer in New York State who started
some years ago with an order for 5,000 roots, two years afterwards he ordered
10,000 more, the next year was followed with an order for 30,000 or 40,000, and I
recently had another order from him for almost 50,000 roots. The reason for
this extensive planting of asparagus is undoubtedly from the fact that there
has been shipped into the New York market every year for the past five or six
years almost double the quantity each year that had been shipped the previous
year, and notwithstanding this enormous increase in the production, it does
not make any difference where the market may be, whether Chicago, New
York, Philadelphia or Boston, the price has not depreciated. In other words,
the growers secured in the spring of 1910 in almost every case as high prices for
their increased crops as they received five years ago. This means only one
thing, and that is that the consumption has increased as fast as the production,
and if anything the profit per acre is today larger than it was five or six years

2 Giant Argenteuil

The seed which I offer is a selection from imported French

drills 2 to 3 feet apart, scattering about 1 inch apart in the

ago, when a grower who had an asparagus patch of five or
ten acres was thought to be a big man in the business, while
today a patch of anywhere from 50 to 100 acres is not uncom-
mon. This increase has not only occurred in the East; but BARR’S PHILADELPHIA MAMMOTH.
on the Pacific Slope, especially in the Sacramento Valley, more and more people are every year
becoming interested in growing asparagus, and are making big money by doing so. The thing
that deters many people is the fact that when they plant good strong one-year-old roots it takes
two or three years waiting before returns begin to come in; but when they do begin to come in
they invariably pay a big return on the money invested. In this connection I would say that the
size and consequent market value of the stalks is influenced more by the amount of space alloted
to each plant than by any other single circumstance, and for this reason I consider wide planting
the only sensible and safe course for the market grower. Some of my most successful growers
make the rows six feet apart, with three or four feet distance between the plants. Even then the
roots completely fill the soil, and interlock between the wide rows. Planting at this distance
admits of cultivation both ways. The least distance that should be given in a bed expected to
yield fine, large stalks for many years, is five feet by two, requiring between 4,000and 5,000 plants to
the acre; nothing can be gained by planting closer. One hundred plants thus set in good soil will
furnish an abundant supply of ‘grass’ for a large family.

The two varieties I particularly recommend are my Giant Argenteuil and Palmetto. But at
the same time, Barr’s Philadelphia Mammoth is also a most excellent sort.

1 Palmetto
A great many people consider this

market; one reason is that it seems to
be disease proof, and where other vari-
eties have been susceptible to the aspar-
agus disease, Palmetto has continued to
yield big paying crops. This variety at

ment station proved to be the best out of
one year being over $300 more per acre

Barr’s Mammoth. It is of Southern
for North also. Earlier than Conover’s.

Stock. My strain isan improvement upon the original. In
the South it is regarded as superior to Palmetto, and I
recommend it with great confidence to Northern growers.
One experienced grower says that Argenteuil is as much
larger than Palmetto as Palmetto is larger than Conover’s.
It has a place of its own in the New York and Boston
markets, and sells for $1.00 to $2.00 more per dozen bunches
than the best of old sorts. The illustration herewith is taken
from an average bunch prepared for selling in the market.
Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 14 Ih., 30 cts,; 1b., $1.00.

3 Barr’s Philadelphia Mammoth

is Earliest Improved Valentine

My improved strain of this famous old reliable green
podded bush bean is ready for the basket in 35 to 38
days. As now perfected it has full, meaty round pods,
which possess beauty, tenderness and superior flavor. It
is an ideal snap short bean, and one that always sells well
\\ in the market. My Earliest Improved is now the most
prolific and profitable bean of its kind on the Amer-
ican market, and for years has been one of the most
popular beans in my list for both home or market.

« Stringless Green Pod

The Stringless Green Pod is now one of the most pop-
ular bush beans in America. In point of earliness it
ranks among the first, in quality it is excelled by none,
and in bearing ability it stands without a rival. It is
unquestionably one of the greatest green pod beans to
date. As to brittleness of pod, the point suggested by its
name, its merit is so high that its enthusiastic friends
claim it is the only stringless bean. .

The pods are round, fleshy and nearly straight; are
borne in abundance through a long season, beginning
early. They are 514 to 644 inches in length, light green
in color, very tender, and of highest and best flavor.
They remain long in edible condition, and the plant or
bush bears continuously for weeks. This bean is unex-
\ celled for home use, and will be found very profitable for
(| market. It has already taken great hold with market
| gardeners, on account of its heavy cropping ability.

Yellow Pods

27 MAULE’S WINGOLD

First offered in 1906 as ‘Nameless Wax.”
When the originator of this bean offered it to
me, I hesitated some time before listing it, as I
thought there were already enough wax beans
on the market; but his earnestness and my
trials of the bean, so impressed me with its
merits that I finally decided to offer it. That it
is a great acquisition there is now no question.
It is absolutely stringless, with beautiful, round,
yellow pods that will sell at sight on any market
stall. It is free from spots or disease of any
kind, and from several years’ experiments
matures much earlier than I expected. With
one accord, all my friends who tried it seem to
think it the coming wax sort, especially in view
of the fact that it is so absolutely rust proof, so
remarkably hardy, and so wonderfully produc-
tive. Pkt., 15 cts.; pt., 40 cts.; qt., 75 cts.3

Kidney Wax. The pods are brittle and
tender, and of fine texture; if picked
when young are entirely stringless. Its
good qualities and remarkable produc-

Wardwell’s Kidney Wax

The Market Gardener’s
Favorite

Many progressive gardeners will have no
other than Wardwell’s Kidney Wax Bean. In
the South especially an enormous acreage is
annually planted, with great profit to the grow-
ers.. It is one of the best, earliest and most
hardy of the wax sorts. The medium sized plant
becomes loaded with long, broad and flat, beau-
( tiful waxy colored pods, which are stringless
and of a rich, luscious flavor, and ‘are exceed-
ingly brittle; the dried beans are of a distinct
kidney shape. I cannot recommend it too
' highly to market gardeners, as although several
other varieties have tried to supplant it, Ward-
well’s still holds its own in many sections of the
eountry. A great favorite for shipping, the
home market and family garden.

this feature alone makes this variety a very decided advantage
over all other wax podded beans, in that as snaps they cook with-
out discoloring, and thus are more attractive on the table; while
as dry beans they are very handsome and superior to any staple
white bean. Valuable for both home or market gardeners and

3 Imperial Wax
or Golden Crown

This remarkable new bush bean has long golden pods.
The pods are round, plump and perfectly stringless. The
seeds are white, and their color makes them sell quickly /
in the ripe or dry state. Its enormous yield, fine table =
quality and freedom from string place it in the front @
rank, and make it of peculiar value to the private grow-
er, the market gardener and the canner. The vine is of
the bush type, with strong and vigorous growth, with the
load of pods carried well above the soil. In addition to
this, spikelets are thrown out above the foliage, which
in turn produce pods, thus adding materially to the total
yield of the plant. Imperial is very early, free from rust
and blight, and produces marketable pods very quickly.
It ripens so early that it can be harvested before the
late August rains. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 30 cts.; qt.,

- Maule’s Evergreen Pole Lima

For a number of years a market gardener near Philadelphia has been experimenting with
lima beans, with the idea of breeding a bean that would retain the green color of the bean
when dry. I haye watched his experiment for several years with a great deal of interest, and
at last at a big price secured some of the seed, and grew the product of same at Panmure. I
must Say it is a Strong, robust, vigorous grower, very productive, and the dry bean retains the
green color longer than any other variety I know of. Hence its name, Evergreen. Every mar-
ket gardener knows what a desirable characteristic this is in a bean, and when we add to it
unusual productiveness and superb quality, we have a lima bean that is as near perfection as
ever attained. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 50 cents, postpaid. By express or
freight, not prepaid, quart, 35 cents; 4 quarts, $1.25; peck, $2.25; bushel, $8.50.

» Panmure Extra Early Pole Lima

This pole lima bean is from California, which State has, of recent years, become known as
the greatest lima bean district in the world. It represents the careful selection for many years
of one of the best growers of lima beans I know. By selecting the earliest pods year after
year he has secured a bean that is positively two weeks earlier than any other. Beans are as
large as the ordinary large lima, pods containing five and six beans. It comes in bearing early
in July and bears right up to frost. It is so good that I have decided to put the name of my
New Jersey trial grounds to it. At Panmure, tested alongside of thirty other varieties, it proved
one to two weeks earlier than the earliest. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 30 cts; qt., 50 cts., postpaid.

55 SALEM IMPROVED POLE LIMA.—
This is a selected strain of the large pole lima,
and is distinctly superior to the lima beans
with which most of my customers are familiar.
It is one of the most prolific lima beans on
the market, as well as one of the best in table
quality. The pods are borne in clusters, often
with five or six large beans ina pod. It ripens
shortly after Maule’s Evergreen, and bears until
frost. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 25¢.3 qt., 45c., post=

56 DREER’S IMPROVED POLE LIMA.
—Also called Challenger Lima, Potato Lima,
ete. This is a bean of peculiar shape, being
thick and plump rather than flat and oval.
It is a very “meaty” bean, of excellent flavor
and high table quality. The beans are delic-
ious. When green they nearly equal the ordi-
nary large lima bean in size, but are thicker,
sweeter and more tender. They remain green
inthe pod a long time after maturing. The
pods, which are borne in clusters, average four
or five inches in length, and each pod contains
four or five thick beans, squared at the ends by
pressure. The beans are easily shelled. eee

_., Fordhook Bush Lima

The only stiffly erect bush form of the popular “‘Potato’’ Lima. Both
pods and beans are twice the size of Dreer’s Bush Lima and more
than half again as large as the Challenger Pole Lima.

Fordhook Bush Lima is altogether unique, Nothing like it has ever been
seen before. Of strong, erect, true bush-like growth (never prostrate or run-
ning), the bushes average 20 to 30 inches in height by 20 to 24 inches across
the top. The foliage is of heavy texture and very dark green in color. ‘The
stalks that produce the blossoms are thrown out from the lateral and main
stalks; the pods are borne in ‘‘clusters’’ of from four to eight. The pods
resemble those of Dreer’s Bush Lima, but average more than double the
size, measuring from 4 to 54 inches long, about 1} inches wide, by as much
as three-fourths of an inch thick. The pods contain three to five large
beans with an average of four.

Fordhook Bush Lima is fully 33} per cent. heavier cropper, and, there-
fore, is bound to displace entirely the Kumerle (Dreer’s or Thorburn’s) Bush
Lima. In season it is from four to six days earlier.

_The earliest of the bush limas; two weeks earlier than any of the climbing
limas. It is small in size, but of high table merit, and in favor with housekeep-
ers on account of its delicious flavor and great productiveness. It bears until
frost, and a small patch will supply a family. Its bearing ability was demon-
Strated some years ago. A prize plant carried 323 well developed pods.

TABLE BEETS

ounce to 100 feet of drill, and cover lightly;5 to 6 lbs. per acre. The
round and turnip shaped beets are best for spring and summer; the half
long kinds for winter. Make successional plantings and cultivate freely.
Beet tops are much used for greens, and frequently form a profitable
crop with many of my market gardener customers.

- CULTURE.—For earliest use and market sow seed of any round sort
under glass, in February or March, and transplant to open ground in
March or April. Seed for main crop may be sown as soon as ground
can be put into proper condition. For table beets sow in drills 18

MAULE’S BLOOD TURNIP BEET.

« Maule’s Blood Turnip Beet

The Best of Them All

Beets may come and beets may go, but this old standby still retains its position at the head
of my list, and for years the square inches of catalogue space occupied by illustrations and
descriptions of this variety have been by all odds some of the most profitable in my whole Seed
Book. Last year I sold 20,536 separate 10-cent packets of this beet. To 8,145 other customers
I sold an ounce package. I doubt if so many packets and ounces of any beet introduced last year
by other seedsmen were sold at retail to so many different customers. I first gave prominent
notice to Maule’s Blood Turnip Beet in my catalogue for 1889; the sales then were large, but
today, 22 years later, they are three times greater than ever. A consistent steady demand from
the same people year after year for from 10 to 25 pounds of 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, and greatly surpasses that variety in flavor. 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. In fact, Maule’s Blood Turnip Beet has long been regarded as the standard of excellence
by more than 30,000 successful gardeners who plant it every year and year after year.

Maule’s Alpha Beet is ready for market in 40 to 45 days from
date of sowing. It is what I call a finely made-up beet, as
shown in the illustration. It is turnip shaped, with a dispo-
sition to deepen to the half-long type; though by no means a
half-long beet. It is deeper than Crosby’s Egyptian, with
more body and more value. The shape of the beet indicates
strong individual traits. The flesh is of a dark crimson color,

with lighter rings, and is handsome in appearance, becoming
solid crimson when cooked. ‘The top is small, which favors
close planting, though this beet, in common with all others,
matures most quickly when given plenty of room, say 4 or 5
inches in the row. It has a rich, sweet flavor when cooked,
and is tender and free from fibre or toughness. It is, in fact,
by all odds, one of the best extra early table or market beets:
within my knowledge.

Maule’s Alpha Beet is worthy of uni-
versal trial by gardeners. It is good for
the table and good for market, and will at.
once win public favor by reason of ity ear-
liness and its excellence.

. Maule’s Market King Beet

While traveling in the County of Essex, England, I stumbled on Mar-
ket King by chance, and was immediately impressed with it. So much
so that after considerable trouble I succeeded in procuring a few cwt. of
the seed. Planted in my trial grounds at Briar Crest, as well as at
Panmure Seed Gardens, my experience with it is such as to warrant
me in saying it is worthy of a place in every American garden.

Market King is a quick grower and soon reaches maturity; but though
an early beet it is an excellent keeper. The solidity, fineness and firm-
ness of its bright red flesh make it one of the best keeping varieties.

WY

On the points of flavor and table quality I would lay especial empha-
sis, for it is an ideal beet for household use. It can be used at all stages
of growth, and it is almost needless tosay that a sweet and succulent
beet like this is sure to become a market favorite.

The shape and solidity of Market King favor extra heavy cropping, and
I introduce it to my customers in the full expectation that it will be
both profitable and popular. Except for my knowledge of its high table
quality and great cropping ability, I would not give itso much promi-
nence. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 14 Ih., 30 cts.; 1b., $1.00.

Always Good. Never Past Its Prime

This grand beet is one of the best on my list for general
eultivation by market gardeners and farmers. Makes a very
rapid growth from the start, often larger than Hgyptian, age
for age. It continues to grow for a long period, making a heavy
| root for autumn or winter use. Only one sowing is necessary
to produce early beets for market and a main crop for winter
use. The quality is first-rate at all periods of growth, whether
the beet weighs a quarter of a pound or six pounds. Itisa
good keeper and may be used all winter. When cooked, it is
of a beautiful, dark red color throughout, and of unsurpassed
| table quality. The illustration shows the exact shape of the
Market Gardeners’ beet. It is symmetrical in form and of
| decidedly handsome appearance. There are but few fibrous
roots and the top issmall. It should appeal strongly to business
gardeners and to everybody wanting an all season’s table beet.

Early Cabbages

i Earliest Express

I first introduced this cabbage in 1887. With First Early it holds the place
as the earliest cabbage in cultivation, as it has produced fair sized, market-
able heads in 80 days from the sowing of the seed. It is a few days
earlier than Etampes. There are few loose leaves, and almost every
plant forms a head. It can be planted close, and yields a large crop.
This is the earliest of the many early cabbages of the catalogues,
excepting Maule’s First Early, which matures about the same time.

us Maule’s Prize Wakefield

This cabbage has been for many years the leading early cabbage
in America. The main difficulty has been to get a perfectly satis-
factory and reliable strain of seed. Buyers will find in Maule’s Prize
Wakefield the genuine article. I grow the seed on Long Island, in
soil and climate perfectly suited to the purity and vigor of choice
Wakefield stock. It has few outer leaves, and’in compactness and
regularity my strain cannot be surpassed. The thick stout leaves 1%

It is ten days to two weeks earlier than any other excepting Express and First Early.
It forms a fine, hard, pointed head, ofextra quality. It has a short stem, and grows close
to the ground, and by reason of having so few outer or loose leaves the plants may be
set 144 feet apart, in rows 2% feet apart; sometimes even closer. The seed may be sown

This is another old and famous

case of Wakefield the main diffi-

resenting the highest grade of excel- =

lence. Such a strain will be found in Maule’s Winningstadt. It is almost as early as Wake-
field. The heads are slightly larger, of the proper cone-shaped form, and of best quality. It
is a sure header, even where other sorts may fail, and seems to be less liable to the attack of
the cabbage worm than many other varieties.

us Charleston Wakefield

An Improved and Larger Form of Jersey
Wakefield. True Type.

The Wakefield, with its pointed head, held
the leading place among early cabbages for
several decades, out of sheer merit; and it is
still in favor with all market gardeners. It
has the serious shortcomings of being small in
size and light in weight, but is so reliably 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 is about a week or 10 days
later than its parent, and comes along in a close
succession to the earliest cabbage crop. It is a
strain which cannot be profitably overlooked by
any gardener, whether it is intended for a pri-
yate garden or to besent to market. All the mar-
ket gardeners near the great Hastern cities plant
Charleston Wakefield for second early cabbage,
and there is no better second early sort. It has
a less pointed head than its ancestor.

Charleston Wakefield is a good keeper and
may be planted as a second crop, to mature in
the autumn, if desired. It is a first rate shipper,
and in great favor with everybody who knows
it. I recommend it highly. Packet, 10 cts.;

of Superior Merit

This new Cabbage, Glory of Enkhousen, originated in Holland; in
season it is very early, in fact as early as the Early Flat Dutch, with
heads frequently twice as large, and weighing three times as much.
: The large sized, ball shaped heads are very firm and solid, leaves being

y fine ribbed and exceedingly tender. It is 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 of close
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 late in July, after early potatoes or other Spring crops
are harvested. It looks as if this cabbage would be extremely popular
with the market gardeners generally, and especially with those who use
my select strain of Danish Ball Head and who have a trade for Danish
cabbage early in the season. Originator’s stock.

Ail Head and Always Sure to Head

I watch with great care all the new cabbages, and test them
at Briar Crest and Panmure, but I still think that Surehead
for main crop will do the most good for the most people. No
other cabbage in America today has all the merits of Maule’s
Genuine Surehead.

People who have never sown Maule’s Surehead do not
know what good cabbage is. The Surehead is the greatest
and most profitable cabbage ever introduced, that has, for such
a long term of years, maintained so wide a popularity. This
is proved by the testimony of over 100,000 planters, in all
sections of the country, representing all conditions of soil,
elevation, climate and cultural treatment. I can truthfully
repeat the statements made in former catalogues, that while

no serious complaints, even in isolated cases, have ever been
made against this justly celebrated cabbage, thousands of
tongues and pens are ready to tell of its worth. Hence, I say
again, if you want a cabbage all head and always sure to
head, you will find it in Maule’s Genuine Surehead.

Maule’s Surehead is a cabbage of the general type of Prize
Flat Dutch and Prize Drumhead, with the same large, deep,
somewhat flattened head, and the same high qualities; but
somewhat finer in texture and with less spread of leaves. It
is a late variety, with head as large as Flat Dutch. It is
almost absolutely uniform in growth. The heads are firm
and hard, and the cabbage keeps well, is a splendid shipper,
and is a variety certain to give satisfaction.

12 Succession Cabbage ae ‘

This cabbage is one of the Henderson introductions, and is unques-
tionably an excellent variety. Itis alarge sort, with a flat head, matur- |
ing in midsummer. It can be brought to perfection in the hottest ¢
weather, or may be used as an autumn or winter crop. The heads
average ten to twelve inches in diameter, but are frequently larger. The
average weight per head is about twelve pounds.

The introducers say of this cabbage: ‘‘ We consider it one of our most
valuable contributions to horticulture. It would be classed as a second ¢
early variety, coming in a few days later than Harly Summer, but it is
superior to that variety. Itis of nearly double the size, and is abso-
lutely true to its type under all conditions. In addition to this, it has no
tendency whatever to run to seed. * * It is so finely bred and so true
to type that in a field of twenty acres every head appears alike.” ‘

It is avery handsome cabbage in make up and habit of growth, as well 3
as high bred in quality. Indeed, the introducers are justified in regard-
ing Succession as a true and individual type of cabbage.

133 Maule’s
Prize Drumhead

Sureness in heading and regularity in growth
have placed this at the top of the list, and I
have no fear of using words of praise too high for
its merits. 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
I 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
marketable heads from 100 plants are of frequent
occurrence. Nobody will be disappointed in my
strain of Short Stemmed Drumhead, for it repre-
sents the best principles of seed culture applied
toa standard vegetable. My Prize Drumhead far
Surpasses the old-fashioned strains of the same
hame, being quicker and more certain to mature,
with heads of deeper and better shape. It is a
standard sort for winter keeping, and sells read-
= ily in the winter and spring markets.

Prize Flat Dutch

This cabbage is as widely grown as any other in
the whole country. Continued eare and critical
Selection have secured a perfectly true stock of
seed. The heads of my Prize Flat Dutch are
very large, heavy, solid, flat on top, and of a bluish c
green color. My strain is alow growing variety, \
with short stem and comparatively few outer \
leaves. The quality is fine and the flavor ex- \
cellent, the heads being white when cut and the
inside leaves crisp and tender. My 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; perhaps three to five
days sooner. Prize Flat Dutch is comparatively
free from a disposition to burst, and is one of the
most reliable winter keepers. I think this strain
will do better under partial neglect than any
other in the world, possibly excepting Surehead.
It has been so long bred to a standard that the
heading habit is thoroughly established as an es-
sential part of its growth, and it will produce a
head even when its size is stunted by dry weather
or other adverse condition.

. Lhe Houser

This excellent cabbage is in very wide
favor, and thousands of my friends tes-
tify to its value. It is at least two weeks
later than any strain of the Late Flat
Dutch type. In solidity it is almost as
hard asthe renowned Danish Ball Head.
It is very compact in habit of growth,
the leaves closely surrounding and over-
lapping the head. The shape and ap-:
pearance are shown in the illustration.

In size the Houser cabbage will aver-

\ age about 12 pounds at maturity, and the

heads are uniformly handsome. The
shape is round and deep, as indicated;
and when a head cracks or bursts it is
always at the stem end, which does not
destroy its use for market.

In quality the Houser cabbage equals
the best, being very free from the coarse
ribs found in most late soits. In fact, I
would say that the Houser cabbage is
very well bred, and in the careful trials
and comparative tests on my grounds, it
has shown up excellently with all other
late sorts. It is a strong, vigorous grow-
er, with ability to withstand drought
better than most varieties.

Its true merit is shown by the demand
for it. It behaves well in the field and
sells well in the market, and adapts itself
to various conditions of soil and climate.

As to its keeping qualities, in winter
storage, I have only to say that it is per-
fect. Indeed, it is because the Houser is
so extremely late and is such an excellent
keeper that it has attained such wide
popularity. I offer the original stock.

is Dry Weather Cauliflower

Especially Adapted to Resist Drought.
Reaches Perfection When Ordinary Sorts Fail.

This new strain originated in Denmark, but has been fully tested in
America with the most happy results. I offered it in 1901 for the
first time, and am well satisfied with its behavior. It produces a
jJarge, solid, pure white head, maturing a little later than Maule’s
Prize Earliest. It is in all respects a first-class cauliflower, but is
especially and peculiarly adapted to dry situations and to resisting the
effects of droughts. It will not thrive in poor soil or under bad treat-
ment, as like all other cauliflowers it requires manure and culture; but
it will succeed with less rainfall than any other variety within my
knowledge. It will also do well in moist or wet seasons, making heads
equal to the best; but it is in dry seasons that its merits appear to best
advantage, and I am confident that it will extend the culture of this
delicious vegetable into locations in which it is practically unknown.

MAULE’S ALWAYS HEADS CAULIFLOWER.

1s Maule’s Always Heads Cauliflower

The name well illustrates the strongest characteristic of this cauli-
flower, that in season and out of season it can always be depended upon
to make a head. I secured it from one of the most expert cauliflower
growers in Denmark, who for many years has considered ‘Always
Heads” absolutely head and shoulders above every other cauliflower,
as he has raised 99 heads 8 to 10 inches across from every 100 plants
year after year. He resides in a district where hundreds of acres of
Snowball and Earliest Dwarf Erfurt are annually grown, and has always
been able to secure top market prices for his entire product, besides
being equally as early in the market. Iam not prepared to Say it is
better than Maule’s Prize Earliest, but consider it nearly as good.

rich soil, and often do well on land where a clover sod has been plowed under the year before.

« Extra Early Parisian Forcing Carrot

This carrot is one of such quick growth that I think a good name for it is the
radish carrot, for it certainly matures as quickly asaradish. The root is formed
much quicker than the well known French Forcing carrot. It has a very fine neck
and a rather hollow crown. Leaves are short and erect, and while small are quite
sufficient for early bunching; good for forcing under glass or outdoors. It has been
the first carrot on the Parisian market for a number of years and I can highly
recommend it to all my customers who desire a small, early, delicious carrot that
will mature as soon as many varieties of radish, but must be sown in very rich soil.

never becomes stringy nor shows rings.
Highly recommended both for table use

able for market gardeners and amateurs
who wish to grow something choice in

This variety is well adapted to all soils and sections, and some years
leads my whole list in number of orders. It is half long in shape,
almost cylindrical, somewhat stump rooted, and of rich, dark orange

length of root than any other carrot now grown. Over 40 tons per acre
of Maule’s Danvers have been grown, and a yield of 25 to 30 tons per

vs Maule’s XX Selected Strain

Golden
Self-Blanching

Celery

is undoubtedly the most popular and profitable celery in cul-
tivation today. It is always in demand where good celery is
appreciated. It gives the largest return for the labor. In
quality it ranks with the highest, It is equally in favor with
the amateur and market gardeners. It is dwarf to half dwarf,
growing about 18 to 20 inches in height, wonderfully stocky,
very heavy, perfectly solid, of delicate flavor and a good
keeper. Added to these points is its great distinctive feature
of being almost literally self-blanching. If I have been asked
once, I have been asked during the last six months at least a
hundred times by members of the trade what I was going to
do the coming season for Golden Self-Blanching Celery. The
weather in France, where my XX Strain is grown, has been
worse this year than ever before; you have no doubt read in
the papers of the disastrous floods and rains that have devas-
tated France from one end to the other. In no other place in
the world can Maule’s XX Golden Self-Blanching Celery be
grown to perfection. Now possibly many celery growers are not
aware of the fact that two-year-old celery seed grows just as
well as one-year-old seed. On this account for many years I
have always made it a point to carry over at least 600 pounds
of my XX Golden Self-Blanching from one year to the other;
sometimes I have carried over as much as 1,000 pounds. I
turned down orders last spring, and considered myself sold
out when I got down to the 600 pounds. Consequently, I
start this season with 600 pounds, and while I should have
received between 2 and 3 tons of new seed, I regret to announce
that 1 received considerably less than 5 ewt. My first order for

(XX Selected Strain) LD Te ARON CR NO

This magnificent celery is improving from year to year under high
culture and careful selection. It is a truly beautiful type. No other
celery naturally turns white upon reaching maturity. All others
require blanching with boards or with earth. The Golden Self-Blanch-
ing naturally turns yellow, but this one turns white. Not only does
the stem whiten, but the leaf itself, especially every inner leaf, assumes
the attractive white color. This makes the White Plume Celery one
of the most showy ornaments that can be put upon the Thanksgiving
or Christmas dinner table. As to succulence, crispness and quality,
the Perfected White Plume is all that can be desired of a white celery.

MAULE’S COLOSSAL EARLY SUGAR CORN.

» Maule’s Colossal Early Sugar Corn

Now First Offered

The Finest Sugar

Corn in Existence

The first real rival of the Shoe Peg or Country Gentleman, as large as Stowell’s Evergreen,

and of delicious flavor.

Frequently matures fine large ears ten weeks from planting.

For a number of years I have been watching closely this new corn, and last year distributed
hundreds of packets in all sections of the country, to the unbounded satisfaction of all who

planted it.

It might be called an Improved Ideal, for while not so early as the Ideal by a few

days, it produces larger ears, and is in all respects a genuine sugar corn of superb flavor.
Probably no man in the country has had so much experience with various kinds of sugar

corm, as Mr.’C..S. Clark, of Ohio.) {Thad jhim

grow a crop of Maule’s Colossal for me last

year, and last September wrote to him asking his opinion of this variety. He answered my com-

munication under date of September 14, 1910,

“Your Colossal Sweet Corn was planted May 14th, and laid
in the cold ground for one month beforeit cameup. This was
due to the fact that May and the fore part of last June hold
the record as the coldest months ever known in Ohio at
this season of the year. During all those four weeks of cold, this
corn stuck and hung to life and grew, and we got a good stand
of it, and it came on and made the best crop of sweet corn in
Northern Ohio where hundreds of acres of all sorts are grown.

“This is a fact, that itis the best field of sweet corn today
in all this section. Therefore, we have a right to be more

as follows:

than pleased with this corn. The ears are nearly as large as
Stowell’s, and it is sweet and tender and of fine quality, with
fodder just as large and more ears per stalk on the average.
‘“‘Market gardeners, canners, hotels and the sweet corn
growers will appreciate having this variety to come in just
after the early sorts are gone and before the late sorts are ready.
It is a very strong grower, and I have never seen a sweet corn
which grows the ears so far away from the stalk on a long
strong shank, ears up three feet from the ground, making it
the most convenient corn to pick off the stalk I ever saw.”’

I also had another crop of this corn grown in Connecticut by Mr. Willard, former President

of the American Seed Trade Association.

In writing to me he has this to say:

“We are much pleased with the appearance of this new sweet corn, and think the name you

have chosen, ‘‘Colossal,’? would be very appropriate.
It is early for a large eared variety, and I believe will prove to be a very popular sort.”

Now here are opinions of two authorities on sugar corn, one in the Middle West, and one in
New England, which corroborate in every way what I previously thought of this grand new

sweet corn.
Maule’s Colossal has three principal points

First—Earliness. It has matured a crop in from 58 to 62
days under extraordinary circumstances, but can generally be
depended on to come to maturity inside of 70 days.

Second—Flavor. It is the most delicious sugary corn you
have ever eaten. A rival of Country Gentleman.

Third—Size. It is undoubtedly the largest eared extra early
sugar corn in existence, as the ears average from 7 to 9 inches

in length, and frequently 2} to 3 inches in diameter, with 12 to
14 rows of white sweet kernels that fairly melt in your mouth.

Two or three ears are generally found on every stalk; it
grows from 6 to 7 feet tall, which furnishes a most desirable
fodder. I have had a fine crop, as above stated, grown in

.Maule’s Ideal

Do you want delicious corn on your table
the 4th of July? Then this is what you need.

This is what Mr. Ball the originator has to say about it:

“About eight years ago I received a small packet of early
sweet corn from a friend, which proved to be in the same
class as the Earliest of All sugar corns, considerably larger,
and best of all contained a sweetness equal to most of our
best true sugar varieties.

“As soon as the ear began to show the flower, I selected
the most promising stalks and cut out those remaining.
These selected stalks were carefully watched as they devel-
oped, and by a careful system of carrying the pollen of plants
showing different individual qualities, from one stalk to
another, thus combining size, shape and earliness of ear, I
succeeded in obtaining wonderful results, besides imparting
yitality to the seed that is astonishing. It has the power of
germination under conditions when all others have failed, and
can safely be planted much earlier than any true sugar corn
on account of its extreme hardiness.

“TJ have produced in this new sweet corn a variety which
stands alone, as a money maker. It is as large as Stowell’s
Evergreen.’ The fodder will average 6 feet; no small item
to a farmer; and as a proof of its quality and sweetness, I had
a continuous call for ‘Ideal’ from the wealthiest and most
fashionable residents of the surrounding suburban towns.

In earliness, anyone growing this corn will have the crop
marketed and the money in his pocket before any of the
early sugar corns are ready.

“This season sugar corn had been
a glut on the market, selling as low
as 25 cents per hundred, but by
planting Ideal, I was enabled to
produce from less than one acre
sixty hundred’ ears, which sold at
wholesale at $1.50 per hundred, be-
sides selecting nearly thirty bushels
for seed. It adapts itself to any
kind of soil, either sand or heavy
clay. It will pay handsomely for
every pound of manure given it.

“Tt should be planted not closer
= than 38 feet each way, if soil is very
/ rich; 3x34 would be better. Do
not let the ears get over ripe. Make
small cuts about 3 inches from end
of ear with sharp knife before cut-
ting, to ascertain if in edible condi-
tion, as it is somewhat deceiving
=, until one gets accustomed to its
ZS growth.”

The illustration herewith is from
a photograph of an average ear full
8 inches long. It speaks for itself.

FAMOUS FOR ITS DELICIOUS, SWEET, SUGARY FLAVOR.

All who plant Maule’s XX want it again and again. It has won a
national name and fame. It is fit for the table in 9 or 10 weeks from
planting, and of most delicious, sweet and sugary flavor. It remains
long in edible condition. The stalk grows 5 to 6 feet in height. It pro-
duces 12 rowed to 16 rowed ears as large as Stowell’s Evergreen (9 to 10
inches). It grows well in midsummer, and may be sown as late as July
5 to 15. In flavor it has no superior, and in productiveness it is simply
remarkable. I first offered this corn in 1888, and for 20 years before that
time it had been the favorite sweet corn of the late Mr. Alfred Rose, of
N. Y., and grown by him to the exclusion of all other sorts.

growth, with leaves of a dark green color, and produce an abundance of fruits.

THE NEW DAVIS PERFECT CUCUMBER.

« Lhe New Davis Perfect Cucumber

Plant the Davis Perfect, and you will raise in the open
oround, cucumbers that will sell in any market at same
price as the high priced hot house forcing cucumbers.

Mr. Davis needs no introduction; as the originator of the
Davis Wax Bean and Grand Rapids Forcing Lettuce, he has
a reputation as a market gardener for knowing what is what,
second to none. Mr. Davis has for years been forcing cucum-
bers under glass for the Chicago and Detroit markets, and it
has been his ambition to produce a cucumber that would be
as handsome in appearance and sell as well grown in
the ordinary way in the open ground. He has at last suc-
ceeded in perfecting a cucuinber that beats anything I have
ever seen; Davis Perfect is bound to become the most
popular cucumber both for forcing under glass and growing
outside, for the following reasons:

First. It has an ideal shape, and the handsomest color of
all cucumbers. ;

Second. It is a type of the most perfect size.

Third. Eating qualities surpass anything I have ever tried.

Fourth. It is almost seedless one-third of its length from
the stem end, and the seeds when it is in slicing condition
are so small and tender that they are unnoticed.

Fifth. It is enormously productive, in fact, beats anything
I have ever tried.

Sixth. It does not change its dark, rich color when grown
outdoors; in fact, it resembles a hothouse cucumber so closely
that dealers cannot tell the difference, and are willing to pay
as much for it as the hothouse production. Mr. Davis has
tried every strain of new cucumber that has been intro-
duced in the last few years; while a number of them have

been very good, he is frank in saying that his cucumber beats
anything he has ever tried, and other growers in Grand
Rapids are of the same opinion. The facts boiled down are
simply these: I believe this is the greatest cucumber ever
introduced, and it is bound to become popular everywhere
when it is known. Local market gardeners in Grand Rapids,
Mr. Davis’ home, who make a specialty of growing cucumbers
under glass, have tried in vain to get this seed to sow in the
open ground. It will be a big money maker for anyone
engaged in growing cucumbers in the open ground, for Mr.
Davis could have sold the. cucumbers represented in this seed
crop for more than double the price of any outdoor grown
cucumber on the market. Mr. Davis sold Davis Perfect for
$1.00 a bushel, both in the Grand Rapids market and Chi-
cago, at the same time the best of the other outdoor grown
cucumbers were bringing 40 to 50 cents. The dealers who
handled these cucumbers for Mr. Davis wanted him to ship
them in large quantities, as they could sell at $1.00 all he
could send them, no matter how large the quantity. It stands
to reason a cucumber that can be grown outdoors and resem-
bles a hot house cucumber so closely that the trade will pay
the same price they are paying for the hot house product is
worth a great deal, and it is. I predict the greatest sale any
cucumber novelty has ever had for the new Davis Perfect,
and every grower, whether for home consumption or for
market, to be abreast of the times, must plant this variety.
Further comment seems unnecessary.

As a rule this is not the custom of the seed trade, but my customers prefer each

MAULE’S SHAMROCK CUCUMBER.

a Maule’s Shamrock Gucumber

There are many varieties of White Spine Cucumber for which this characteristic of being always green has been
claimed; but, as a rule, they have all been found wanting. The originator of Shamrock has this to say: “Some years ago
growing two acres of cucumbers for pickles, I found three cucumbers that were green while the rest were yellow. I cut
these three cucumbers and found them dead ripe. I saved the seed and planted it the next year by itself, growing some
for pickling, and found it O. K. I found that a few turned partly yellow when ripe. These I discarded and planted the
seed again from a green cucumber with a perfect result. The cucumber is dark green, good shape, about like Jersey
pickle, turns light green when dead ripe. It is a good table cucumber and is the best for all market gardeners, as it keeps

The Cumberland was originated by Mr. Coy, who writes me: ‘‘We consider it the best of our
productions, and expect to see it at the head of the list. We honestly believe it is the best
pickling cucumber ever produced.”’ I can with pleasure endorse everything Mr. Coy has to

It is nothing more nor less than an extra fine}
type of what is unquestionably the best and
Hmost widely grown variety in America. It is
junsurpassed as a table and market sort, and is
also used for pickling. No other kind exceeds
it in productiveness, and it is equally good for
forcing under glass or growth in the open air.

After studying and watching this unusually fine egg plant for several years,
I at last procured a stock of the seed. It is of large size and extremely good shape,
being particularly adapted to slicing, as there is no waste of material. In flavor
it cannot be surpassed. The hot sun does not blight the blossom, as is the case
with some other sorts. It resists drought and bad weather to a wonderful degree,
partly on account of its strong, upright growth. It bears its eggs or fruit well above
the ground, thus escaping liability to rot. The fruit often measures 18 to 24 inches

in circumference (6 to 8 inches in diameter). No market or private gardener should

CULTURE.—Gourds are tender annuals, of trailing or climbing habit.
The seed should not be planted until the ground is warm. Plant in
hills and cultivate as squash. Leave only three or four plants in a
hill, and allow the vines to ramble or train over the ground or trellis.

291 DISH CLOTH.—The peculiar lining of this gourd gives it
its name. The fruit grows about two feet long. The interior membrane
is serviceable for a variety of household “purposes, being used as a dish
cloth, or sponge. The fibre is tough, elastic and durable.

Z ness of Success. The hardy sturdiness of the plants adapt
jj them for early spring planting, or cold frame culture.
Planted in May it produces large, splendid yellow heads in

August before bolting to seed. From the centre to the
outside solid heads are formed, packed with crisp, tender
and savory leaves, slightly tinged with brownish red. Suc-
cess must be planted further apart than any other variety
on account of its large size. The heads, cut for market, can
be kept fresh for a long time, a quality which renders it

zs Maule’s Improved Hanson Lettuce

In table quality this lettuce is perfection itself. It is wholly
free from bitter taste, having a sweet and rich flavor, even to
the outer leaves. It remains long in good table condition after
reaching maturity, and resists heat and drought well, and is
very slow to run to seed. Its ability to remain sweet and ten-
der is one of the leading characteristics; in fact, this feature
distinguishes Maule’s from the ordinary stocks of Hanson.

It is a perfect open air lettuce in all respects. It is hardy
and may be set out in earliest spring or grown late in the fall.
Every year increases the already wide demand for my strain

This new lettuce might well be called an Improved Big

market gardeners in sections where the Big Boston does well.
Its usefulness and value are identically the same as Big
Boston, but it is preferred by market gardeners, because of its
being a solid green color with no brownish tinge at the border
of the leaves; its heads are larger and of better appearance
than Big Boston, and in my opinion it is more desirable. No

«7 Maule’s Select
Rocky Ford Muskmelon

(Green fiesh.) In this Rocky Ford Melon I offer
my customers a strain of seed grown for me by one of
the very best, if not the best, growers of melons in
Rocky Ford, Colo. The seed is saved from a field in
which not a single melon has been sold, in other words
only the best and choicest melons have been retained
for seed. These melons if shipped to the Eastern mar-
kets would have brought the highest prices, conse-
quently the seed I offer costs me an unusually high
price. This strain of Rocky Ford is equal to any
small green fieshed melon now on the market, and be-
tween ourselves while this is the best green fleshed,
Bowman’s Gold Coin offered below is the best Salmon
fieshed variety of this character.

I have less than 1,000 pounds of this special strain of
Maule’s Select Rocky Ford on hand, but as long as
it lasts will be glad to furnish it to my customers at
the following reasonable prices :

ss Maule’s Honey
Muskmelon

(Green flesh.) I call it Honey from the fact that
56 of my customers suggested this name, in com-
petition for.a $100 prize, and it was very gratifying
to me to know that so many felt compelled on ac-
count of its sweet, delicious flavor to call this new
melon Honey. Maule’s Honey muskmelon is of
medium size, weighing 3 to 4 pounds on an average.
It is distinctly and evenly ribbed and moderately }
netted. Globe shape and somewhat flattened at the
stem and blossom end. Its exterior color is a
peculiar shade of green, quite unlike any other
muskmelon. The flesh is green, inclining to yel-
low. Thespicy flavor is as distinct and character-
istic as itis sweet and pleasing. The flesh is both
deep and firm, the edible portion almost touching
the rind, and remarkably juicy.

« Bowman’s New Gold Coin Muskmelon

(Salmon fiesh.) Gold Coin. first offered in 1906;
was first called to my attention by Mr. T. Greiner,
the Garden Editor of The Practical Farmer, a weekly
agricultural journal, that I really think has done
more for the benefit of American horticulture and
agriculture than any other publication in this
country. Mr. Bowman, first discovered this melon
nine years ago, ina patch of Emerald Gem, on his
grounds in Niagara County, New York. It is sup-
posed to be across between that variety and Anne
Arundel or Acme. Careful selection of seed has
brought it to its present perfection. The following
is Mr. Bowman’s description of it: ‘My melon is
= earlier than the Paul Rose by 10 days.. It is two or
three times as large, and a great deal more netted,
of lighter skin, wider ribbed, of deeper flesh and
| better quality. It also yields twice as many bushels
to the acre. The specimens run from round to ob-
long, often both on the same vine, Some of the speci-
mens weighing 6 to 7 pounds. Paul Rose, Miller’s
Cream, or any other melon I ever saw, is not to be
compared with it in quality or general value.”

In Gold Coin I consider I have found what we have
all along been looking for, a melon equal to the
Emerald Gem in quality, and a better shipper.

A Prodigious Cropper.

(Green flesh.) A paragon of merit—in size, shape, netting, appear-
ance, aroma, flavor, depth of flesh, smallness of seed cavity, cropping
ability and shipping quality. It leaves nothing to be desired.

Maule’s Model was bred by Mr. Morgan, of Gloucester county, N. J.,an
expert in his line. Its parents were Netted Gem and Pineapple, with a
second hybridizing with one of its parents. This was followed by six
years of careful selection. The result was a melon of wide local celeb-
rity, and one which commanded exclusive prices in several great cities.

Maule’s Model is an early melon, maturing in South Jersey the last
of July tothe first of August. It is larger than Rocky Ford, the average
weight being somewhat above two pounds. It has an ideal shape for a
fashionable market. The flesh is green. The interior seed cavity is
small, and of triangular or prismatic shape, the seeds being few.

As a table melon Maule’s Model cannot besurpassed. In delicacy and

quality of flavor it is unexcelled by any variety on my list. The flesh
is deep and firm, extending from the rind almost to centre of the meion.

Maule’s Model bears transportation well, and can be carried to distant
cities without injury. One of Mr. Morgan’s main markets was over 300
miles from his tarm, and the melons always stood the journey per-
fectly, and would have traveled a thousand miles just as easily.

Maule’s Model has every good quality possessed by the Rocky Ford,
with the added value of being more productive. It will show the effects
of long continued drought, in common with all forms of vegetation, but
does not seem to lose its strength while lying dormant under a scorch-
ing sun. Upon the coming of rain it responds at once in the way of
continued growth and abundance of fruit.

Maule’s Model is now sold all over the U. S. under a half dozen differ-
ent names. Send to headquarters for the genuine.

Muskmelon

In Favor for a Quarter of a Century as a Paying Sort for
Home and Market

(Green flesh.) ‘This delicious early melon is
known everywhere. Of medium size, weighing
14 to 1% pounds. The flesh is deep and thick, and
light green in color, except next the seeds, where
it inclines towards yellow. The flavor is exceed-
ingly fine. The skinis green, regularly ribbed and
thickly netted. It is a firm, solid melon, and will
carry in perfect condition for a week or more after
its removal from the vine. It is a heavy cropper,
and is in wide favor as a market melon. Indeed,
its ability to bear transportation without breaking
down has made it one of the most profitable of
crops, and explains why it is so universally grown.
It has many local names. In New Jersey it is
known as Netted Gem, Golden Jenny and Golden
Gem. In Colorado it has the name of Rocky Ford
from a locality where it grows in great abundance
and perfection, and from whence it is shipped all
over the country, even to Philadelphia and other
large Eastern cities. I have the original strain
of this celebrated melon, seed being grown with
the utmost care as to purity.

(Orange flesh.) This new melon is a cross
between Emerald Gem and the Prize Jenny
Lind. It resembles the Prize Jenny Lind in
shape. The vine is a strong vigorous grower,
branching freely and frequently setting five to
nine melons close to the hill. The melons grow
very even and regular in size and attractive in
appearance; slightly flattened at both stem and
blossom ends. The shape is shown in the illus-
They are roughly netted, the skin
showing between the nettings being emerald

tive deep orange and of a delicious flavor.
Remarkably early and a good shipper. A good
medium sized melon for both home and market
garden. The Fordhook Melon came through
the past season with flying colors, and it is
certainly going to make a name for itself with
all growers of fine melons, who desire a small

large sort, and is profitable on that account. The shape is well shown
in the illustration, which is from a photograph. The fiesh is orange
almost to the rind. The skin is finely netted. I advise growers to
pinch off the ends of the main shoots when 2 or 3 feet long, to encour-
age more abundant blossoming and earlier maturity. I particularly
recom mend it to those whose profits depend upon being first in market.

The melons are of medium size, round, heavily netted, flesh very thick,
of rich orange color, handsome appearance and of the sweetest flavor.
Average weight of melon 1144 pounds. The seed cavity is small and the
rind is very tough, making it a good shipper; its vine is a vigorous
grower and a heavy cropper. A good medium sized melon for both
home or market gardener. Seed direct from headquarters stock.

Weigh 8 to 10 pounds each, and attracts
attention anywhere. Flesh from 2 to 3 inches
in thickness, and in shape and general appear-
ance it resembles the large French melons
sold on the fruit stands of the large cities
at $1.00 to $2.00 each.

(Salmon fiesh.) I am very glad indeed to an-
nounce this year that I have avery fine crop of
Maule’s Perfection Muskmelon. The shape is
well shown in the illustration herewith; color of
skin is a deep rich green, well ribbed and thickly
netted, while the flesh is a rich salmon. The
melon is nearly all flesh, the interior being very
small, hardly large enough to accommodate the
“seed. In flavor it is simply unexcelled, and it
fags certainly justifies its name, given by me in 1884,

ai by its past experience and real merit. I can
Yh safely challenge any seedsman in America to
produce a finer melon in fiavor or appearance.
It is so thick fleshed that one melon is enough
for three or four people under ordinary circum-
Stances, and in a patch of an acre or more you can
find hundreds of melons that very closely resemble
the large French melons sold on fruit stands. If
it has a fault it is in the fact that it will not. stand
shipping like Rocky Ford, but for the home gar-
den or near market.trade it is unsurpassed.

WATERME N loams. The hills should be 8 feet apart each way, with some well rotted manure in each hill, thoroughly
—§ incorporated with the soil. Plant the seed as soon as the weather is really warm and settled. One ounce of

seed will plant 30 hills; 3 or 4 pounds of seed to the acre. Allow two or three plants to remain in each hill. Fight bugs with Bug Death.

is sure to excite the admiration of all lovers of
fine watermelons. It is not only of superbe
flavor, but is all its name implies. Solid asa
cannon ball, and while it has a thin rind, the
skin is firm, consequently making it a good
shipper. At Panmure our trial patch of about
three-quarters of an acre contained more than
8,600 watermelons, of which 3,500 would have
commanded the highest market price. New|

3ss Wonderful McIver or
Sugar Melon
The Sweetest of All

This widely famous watermelon is, I believe,
the sweetest ever put before the people of this
country. It is of medium size, with striped or
variegated exterior, beautiful red flesh, and light
colored or white seeds. The flesh is entirely string-
less, and of perfect quality as to texture. The
vines are strong, thrifty and prolific, and well
adapted to withstand either wet weather or
drought. This melon was grown for many years
by Col. E. R. McIver, of South Carolina, president
of his county agricultural society, and a water-
melon enthusiast, and he considered it the sweet-
est within his knowledge. The seed came origin-
ally from the West Indies. I introduced it to
the American public in my 1894 catalogue.
Since that time it has been tried by many thou-
sands of my customers, both North and South,
and unlimited praise is given to it. It is well
adapted to nearby markets, but is rather delicate
for long freight shipment. I highly recommend
Wonderful Sugar to every melon fancier.

WONDERFUL McIVER OR SUGAR MELON.

391 FORDHOOK EARLY.—One of the largest of the extra early
varieties, and claimed to be the earliest of all. Shape nearly round.
Color a medium shade of green. Flesh bright red, and of deliciously
sweet flavor. The rind is sufficiently hard to make it a good shipper.
Its originator, who lives in Delaware, says that this variety always ma-
tures first in competitive trials with other sorts, and may justly be re-
garded as the earliest of all. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.3; 14 Ib., 30c.; Ib., $1.00.

392 CUBAN QUEEN.—A favorite watermelon for home and market.
Exterior beautifully striped and mottled. Rind thin but firm. Flesh
bright red, solid, sweet and luscious. One of the best keepers of all the
watermelons, and a first rate shipper. Specimens of this splendid va-
riety weighing 100 pounds have been grown. The Cuban Queen is a very
prolific and profitable melon, and is planted extensively for market
purposes. It is in equally high esteem with consumer and grower.
My seed of this favorite melon is of headquarters stock, strictly pure
from carefully selected melons, and I can recommend it to all wishing

oval shaped watermelon, with a dark green rind. The flesh is
scarlet, very firm,and of luscious quality and crisp texture. It is
widely popular. It is a good family garden melon, but the rind is
rather too tender for distant shipping. It gives satisfaction almost
everywhere, and I can recommend it for use both North and South.

394 GRAY MONARCH OR LONG WHITE ICING.—The ex-
terior color of this fine melon is a light green, though its mottled
markings make it appear gray. The flesh is deep red in color, and
equal or superior in quality to the old Icing from which it is derived.
It differs in shape as well as in size from its parent, but Jacks none of
the virtues of that sweet flavored variety. Specimens of Gray Mon-
arch weighing 60 to 70 pounds have been produced. It has become
widely popular. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.3 14 Ib., 30c.; Ib., $1.00.

TOM WATSON WATERMELON.

During the last two or three years, I have had inquiries from all over

watermelon growing sections of the country. The above illustra-

Specimen of the stock my seed was being saved from; it weighed 36
pounds, and my boys at the office in sampling it, thought it about as
delicious a melon as they had ever eaten. As may be seen from the
cut, Tom Watson is a long green melon, which at times grows excep-
tionally large, often weighing from 60 to 70 pounds, and is at the same
time one of the most prolific melons in cultivation. It is a most excel-
lent shipper for long distances, although the rind is thin, the flesh is of
most superb quality and intense red in color. In conclusion would

Georgia Rattlesnake

The old Rattlesnake has always been regarded asa fine melon; my
improved strain is the result of careful selection by an experienced
Georgia melon grower, Mr. Steiner Branch. Mr. Branch unhesitat-
ingly claims, and I agree with him, that this is the best strain of
Rattlesnake melon in existence; in quality and flavor it is not sur-
passed. It has a thin, tough rind, which makes it a good shipper. Flesh
deep scarlet, sweet and delicious; shape oblong, striped and mottled
with various shades of green, as well shown in illustration. For years

the old Rattlesnake has been largely grown in the South and shipped
to Northern markets, but no one who has been growing the old Rattle-
snake will ever plant it again after trying Branch’s Improved Strain.

ANGEL’S

» Angel’s Kiss

This fine watermelon originated in Texas and my attention was first
directed to it on account of its most remarkable name. After giving it
a thorough trial at Panmure [ have come to the conclusion there is
only one objection to this superb melon and that is its name. Angel’s
Kiss originated with one of the largest Southern melon growers who
named it Angel’s Kiss on account of its delicious flavor. Up to date it
has only been grown to a limited extent among market growers in the
State of Texas. It is entirely distinctive and a handsome melon of
large oblong shape, which is weli shown in the illustration herewith

thin rind. The melons measure from 20 to 30 inches in length, with an
average weight of from 80 to 40 pounds each, ripening through and
through and is one of the very earliest good melons in cultivation.
It is thoroughly distinctive and the melons are most attractive;
whether in the field or on the market stall, attracting attention at
all times. The seed is pure white. In conclusion I would say that
growers for market will find Angel’s Kiss a rapid seller, a good ship-

My attention was first called to the Commercial Onion seven or eight
years ago by one of the largest growers of onions in this country, who
told me that he had been for years selecting them from my original
Prizetaker and breeding them down to a size that he considered more
merchantable. His efforts have been rewarded by securing an onion
fully as handsome as the Prizetaker in every way; of more uniform
size, and whose keeping qualities were simply remarkable and decid-
edly superior to the parent variety. Six hundred bushels per acre
have been no unusual yield, and this quantity has been frequently sur-
passed. Twenty-two years ago I introduced the Prizetaker onion, and in
allthat time 1 havenot found a single variety that could equal, let alone
surpass it, in any way, until now. I take great pleasure in offering my

I have, personally, looked in various parts of Europe and America for an onion surpassing Prizetaker in beauty,
productiveness and general merit, and believe there is nothing better in the whole world, unless it be

the New Commercial.

Prizetaker is unexcelled either for home use or as a money maker.

Headquarters Stock can be obtained only from Wm. Henry Maule

I named and introduced this great onion in 1888, and ever
since have given it special prominence in every catalogue I
have issued. Today, twenty-one years after it was named by
me, it will be found prominently illustrated in almost every
catalogue. Some call it Smith’s Prizetaker, Brown’s Prize-
taker, and Robinson’s Prizetaker; but no matter how many
seedsmen put their names in front of Prizetaker, there is only
one Prizetaker, and that is Maule’s, named and introduced
by me, and for five years catalogued by myself exclusively.

Prizetaker is by far the handsomest, most productive, most
popular and best of all Yellow Globe Onions. It is a bright,
clear straw color, and always grows to a uniform shape, which
is a perfect globe. It hasa very small neck, and ripens up

without stiffness of the neck. In market it never fails to
attract attention on account of its beauty, and is sure to bring
a far better price than any other onion. It is even more at-
tractive in appearance than the large Spanish onions sold on
the city fruit stands—in fact, takes the place of that variety.

My predictions made years ago, at the time of its introduc-
tion, that Prizetaker would supplant all others of its class, has
long sitice been verified. Jt has attracted more attention and
awakened wider and more cordial enthusiasm than any other
onion ever introduced to the American public, It has proven
itself a great acquisition to farmers and gardeners, and is
today admitted to be the largest, finest flavored and most
superior Yellow Globe Onion under cultivation.

an oak, and thesuggestion ofa bulb makes it suitable
for a bunch onion. A bunch, such as we made them
and found ready sale for them, is shown in Fig. 2.

These bunches were quite attractive and coming ina
season when green stuff is Scarce, extremely service-
able for the purposes of abunch onion. We put about
ten stalks to the bundle, or twice as many as found
in the average bunch in the market. We could
have disposed of a good many more than we had,
even in our local market, and Buffalo and the
smaller cities nearby would gladly have taken large
quantities. Where the plants stood fairly thick in
the row (as thick as we should aim to have them,
and as we can get them by sowing 8 or 10 pounds of
seed to the acre, on rich ground) we made four
dozen bunches from 6 feet of row, the rows being 14
inches apart. When a spot of ground 14 inches
wide by 6 feet long brings one dollar, you ean easily
figure out that the acre rate is fully $6,000, less than
one-tenth of which goes for labor in preparing
(cleaning and bunching) the product for naarket.”

The Southport Globe Onions

The Southport Onions have increased wonderfully in public favor during the last six - = SOUTHPORT.
YELLOW GLOBE

or seven years, and they well deserve their popularity. In almost all markets they will
invariably bring top prices. They are not only of handsome appearance, remarkable
solidity and good keepers, but also fully equal in yield my best strains of other varie-
ties, 900 bushels to the acre from seed the first year being not unusual. For years I have
taken considerable pride in all three of the Southport Onions named below, and can
say in perfect candor that my strain of each one of these globe onions cannot be sur-

passed, if equalled, in this country.

44 Southport Red Globe

Hight or nine years ago my annual sales of this onion did not exceed 500 pounds; today
the demand runs into the thousands. In districts in New York and Ohio, I frequently
ship 1,000 pounds of this red globe onion annually. It is a perfect globe, skin being of a
rich glossy red; flesh fine grained, white and always mild and pleasant. Like other
Southport onions it is very hardy and a splendid keeper. On my trial grounds at Briar
Crest last season, it showed up the best of any of the Red Globes, and was the admira-
tion of every one who took the pains to critically examine my onion trials.

Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 14 pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.60.

44s Southport White Globe

This onion, on account of its handsome appearance, always brings top prices in the
New York City markets. It is silvery white in color, globe shaped in form, flesh of
delicious flavor, and a fine keeper. My strain of Southport White is equally as desir-
able as that of the Southport Red and Yellow Globe.

Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; }4 pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.75.

446 Southport Yellow Globe

This is of the same general character as the two varieties described above, except the
skin is a rich yellow, flesh of course being pure white, and of a mild and delicious flavor.
It is one of the most popular of the Yellow Globe onions, and my annual sales run into
thousands of pounds. These three varieties of Southport Globe onions I have carefully
bred up for years, so that I am sure all my friends who entrust their orders for these
onions to me will be highly delighted with their crop and the price they secure for
same next fall. Bear in mind that all three of these Southport onions ripen very
evenly, and on this account particularly are wonderful keepers.

Packet, 5 cents; ounce, i5 cents; 4 pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.50.

Bermuda Onions

IN NSS I believe I was the first to start the industry of growing Bermuda onions in the

») seed in Texas, with such success that fortunes have been made, and thousands of
acres have been, and are today, planted in many parts of the South, especially in
Texas. My supply is grown on the Island of Teneriffe by the very best grower of
onion seed on the Island. It is shipped to me in tins, and is in every way the highest
grade of seed that can be produced anywhere in the Canary Islands. All the best
seed grown of Bermuda onion is raised on the Island of Teneriffe

Makes an excellent shipping onion, and does well both North and South.

«1 Mammoth Silver King
I introduced this grand onion to the public
over 25 years ago. The skin is a beautiful, sil-
very white. The fiesh has a particularly mild
and pleasant flavor, and is 80 sweet that it may
be eaten raw like an apple. No other white on-
ion attains such mammoth size, nor will any
other variety grow uniformly so large. The bulbs
are of an attractive shape, flattened, but thick,
as shown in the illustration. The average diam-
eter of fully grown Mammoth Silver King onions
is from 5to 74 inches. 1 havea record of one of
\\ these onions weighing 4 pounds and 9 ounces.
\ Thousands of letters and postal cards have
} reached me containing words of the highest
| praise of the wonderful size, early maturity and
good quality of this famous onion; and the fact
that these voluntary testimonials come from all
parts of the country proves the adaptability of

the onion to a wide range of soil and climate.

MAULE’S NEAPOLITAN PEPPER.

«. Maule’s Neapolitan Pepper

The earliest of all peppers by a week
to ten days. originally named
and first offered Neapolitan in 1903.

If I had not purchased my Panmure Seed Farms this
pepper would still be unknown. LHight years ago my atten-
tion was attracted to the fact that a few Italian gardeners
located near Panmure, were shipping peppers by the carload
one to three weeks earlier than any other peppers could be
shipped; and on inyestigation I found that for years a small
settlement of Italians situated a few miles from my farm had
been shipping these peppers to market and realizing thou-
sands of dollars. With our trials of other peppers, Neapoli-
tan proved itself to be two weeks earlier than any other.
When, in addition to this fact, we had good size and mild,
piquant flavor, I decided I had secured a money maker.
Plants are of strong growth, very stocky, and peppers are
borne erect, averaging the size of the illustration. Flesh
is very thick and fruit is pale green turning to a brilliant
red color. If my customers want peppers from one to three
weeks ahead of their neighbors, they must plant Neapolitan.

apple, being of mild and delicate flavor.
I have grown it at Panmure for 7 years,

visitors. As soon as its merits become
known, it is sure to prove a profitable
market variety. ltstays in bearing right

smooth are earlier and most hardy. The wrinkled aresweetest. Field peasare of high value in stock feeding and
a green manuring. Edible podded peas are growing in favor.
CULTURE.—Sow in earliest spring and make successional plantings every ten days until Junel. In the latter part of August sow early peas

Maule’s Earliest of All Pea has become the main reliance of thousands of truckers and

ability to mature quickly. It is absolutely unsurpassed in extra early qualities, in flavor,
in size of pod and productiveness, in vigor and regularity of growth, and in genuine merit.
Every seedsman claims to sell an ‘earliest’ pea, but, after testing them all, I know that
not one excels my own celebrated strain, either in quality, quantity or earliness. Maule’s
Earliest of All is very hardy, and may be sown as soon as the soil becomes mellow. It
may be relied upon to be ready for market in about forty-five days from date of germi-

An Extra Early Wrinkled Pea

This remarkable pea has produced a sensation in the
horticultural world, and there is no longer any doubt about
its position and standing. It is now recognized as a leader.
It is not only large and of best quality, but it is as early as
the small, round, extra early sorts. It may be planted as
soon as the ground is fit to work in spring, along with the
smooth peas. It promises to take the place of the smooth
peas in general culture to a great extent. Prosperity or
Gradus is a wrinkled pea, with vine growing 18 to 30 inches
high. It requires no sticks or brush, though sticks may be
used, if preferred. The peas are freely borne, and remain
in good order for a number of days. The pods are of a
bright green color, and measure 4 inches or more in length,
being as large as Telephone, and equally well filled with
luscious peas—8 to 10 or more in a pod. The peas them-
selves are of a first-class table quality, and retain their color
and attractive appearance after cooking. The pods are
round and plump. On light, sandy soils it attains a growth
of only 15 or 18 inches, while on rich, heavy loams it reaches
30 inches. It is entirely adapted to the purposes of the
market gardener, requiring only good field treatment.

« Perpetual Pea

A True Pick Forever
Bears from June Until October

Twenty-five years ago I offered Perpetual as a
novelty, and have continued to supply it toa num-
ber of my customers regularly every year since.
Probably there are no two concerns in the country
who know more about peas or who grow more
peas for seed purposes than Messrs. Keeney &
Son, of Genesee Co., N. Y., or Rogers Bros., of
Jefferson Co., N. Y. Messrs. Keeney & Son write:

“Tt is more accurately named than any other
pea in the list, and for the private garden is an
excellent variety, as it will continue producing
for a long time, if the peas are promptly and
completely picked as fast as they become large
enough to use on the table.”

This was supplemented by a letter from Rogers
Bros., who made the following statement :

“We consider it the best or nearest to a per-
petual pea of anything we have ever seen yet.”

Perpetual pea is everything its name implies.
It grows about 24% to 8 feet high, is of strong,
robust habit, a good cropper, and, to secure best
results, requires sticks or brush. After removing

| the pods as fast as they are filled it will continue
| to bear right along throughout the season. This

one feature makes it especially desirable for the
home or family garden and I know of no large
podded pea that will produce so many pods and
none that are so well filled as the Perpetual. It
is certainly the most remarkable everbearing pea
that has ever come to my knowledge.

I am offering this year what I consider an Im-
proved Perpetual, on account of its haying larger
pods than the old strain I have been offering for
so many years.

The Favorite Market Gardeners’ Pea

This grand pea was originated by crossing Gra-
dus with a very early seedling. It is claimed to
be earlier, hardier in constitution, of better color,
and more prolific than Gradus or Prosperity. It
grows like Gradus, aboutg feet high. The wrink-
led green peas are very la¥ge, and uniformly well
filed. The pods are large, long, with square ends
fine color and of unsurpassed quality. Many
market gardeners have planted the Thomas
Laxton in preference to Gradus, to their entire
Satisfaction. My opinion of Thomas Laxton is
that it is not as early as Gradus by three or four
days; at the same time it is, if anything more
productive, peas are fully as large, of a richer
green color. Planted side by side, it is frequently

a hard matter to tell which is the better of the |

THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1911

arly Market Pea

Also Listed as New Prolific Extra Early
30 to 50 Per Cent. More Prolific Than Alaska

I offered this grand pea in 1901 for the first time, quoting the
introducer to the effect that while it was 3 to 4 days later than
the first early sorts, it was 30 to 50 per cent. more prolific.
Ten years’ experience with it leads me to conclude that it is
practically as early as the very first of all, and more prolific.

The introducers, Messrs. N. B. Keeney & Son, prominent
New York pea growers, thus speak of it : “About twelve years
ago the writer selected a very productive plant of an extra
early pea, having an exceptionally long pod. From this, dur-
ing the last eleven years, was produced what we call Prolific
Early Market. Our tests of this pea during ’94, ’96 and ’97
showed it to blossom two days later than our earliest and best
strain of Extra Early, and in the development of pods suitable
for picking, 3 or 4 days behind; but the remarkable produe-
tiveness and length of pod have followed this strain all through
all these years, many of the plants containing 40 to 50 fully
developed pods as the result of one seed sown; and I believe
this pea will give a yield of 30 to 50 per cent. more than any
other strain of extra earlies I know of.’

My trials of Prolifie Early Market induce me to value it
very highly, as above stated. The seed resembles the seed of
the hard, round, extra early sorts, but is somewhat wrinkled.
But the point or characteristic which I desire most to empha-
size is that this variety is very prolific, a thing of extreme

- importance in a first early pea. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 30 cts.;

»» Maule’s Prodigious or Prinee Edward

The Giant of the Pea Family

In 1901, in connection with Cooper, Taber & Co., of London, England, I first offered this pea to
the American public; they offering it as Prince Edward, I calling it Prodigious, on account of
the enormous size of its pods. It has now been ten years since | catalogued this variety, an
it is still one of my best selling specialties, but until last year 1 have not been able to offer
it in as large quantities as by the bushel. Around New Haven, Conn., the market garden-
ers cannot get enough of these peas, in fact, all along Long Island Sound, this pea is
considered one of the most profitable varieties for the trucker, and as soon as its merits 7

ly
Y

become more largely known, there will be an enormous demand for it from market
gardeners all over the country.

There are few varieties of seed in this catalogue that are better named than this pea.
Nothing more nearly expresses its one remarkable characteristic than its name yy
Prodigious. When you consider that this variety will produce pods attaining /
the extraordinary length of 7 inches and upwards, closely packed with 11 to 18
large, dark green peas of fine flavor, every reader of this book must admit it
is wellnamed. For exhibition purposes it is simply unsurpassed. Exhibited
at all the leading shows in England, the last 8 years, it has always taken first
prize, and it will create just as much excitement in America as it has there.
The plant is of branching habit, growing about 6 feet in height, with dark
green foliage. It is of very vigorous and robust constitution, which
enables it to withstand drought and mildew. The pods are produced in
great profusion, mostly in pairs. Prodigious cannot be excelled as an
exhibition sort, on account of its striking and very attractive appear-
ance; and will also be in demand wherever there is a call for a pea of
robust habit, fine quality and hardy constitution. Market garden-
ers who do not know Prodigious should give it a trial. There are
thousands of my customers who will be delighted to show their
friends such enormous pods of peas, the largest, by far, they have
ever seen, which in addition to large size combine rich and succu-
lent flavor. Packet, 15 cts.; pint, 40 cts.; quart, 75 cts., post-

Mammoth Luscious Sugar

Edible Pods. Choice for Snap Shorts
Unsurpassed by Any Other Sort

This splendid sugar pea fully maintains its repu-
tation as a choice table variety. Indeed, my-sales
of the seed increase year by year. The peas are not
shelled, but the pod is eaten like a snap bean. The
pods are stringless, and in flavor, brittleness and
succulence are unexcelled. The vines are very tall,
reaching a height of 5 or 6 feet and requiring sup-
port. The full grown pods are 6 to7 inches long and
14% inches broad, and are produced continuously for
a considerable period, the vines having great bear-
ing capacity on account of their height. The pods
are sometimes sliced for cooking, because of their
size, and may be served with butter or white sauce.
They can be made ready for the table in 10 or 15
minutes, and are good even when quite old. Excel-
lent also for pickles. The sweetness and tenderness
of this edible-podded pea insure it a permanent

Eureka Extra Early Potato

The Favorite Extra Early

None More Quick to Mature
More Proof Against Drought and Blight
So Free from Second Growth

As to its origin and history, the originator
says of it: ‘Eureka Extra Early was a
chance hill found growing in a field of
Early Morn potatoes, season of 1895. In ji
looking over the field a single plant was \
noticed distinct from the rest, which died
while the others were still green.

“Tt has never failed to produce a large
crop of extra early potatoes. The plant is
dwarf and compact, maturing in advance }
of the Early Rose and Freeman. It never §
has had the blight. The tubers are round, Q¥
slightly flattened. White skin, free from &
disease. Flesh, white and mealy; no cores ¥
or black specks. Quality unsurpassed. iS

“One point alone which makes it valu-
able is that it has never taken second
growth, and resists drought better than any
other potato I have ever grown. North,
South, Hast and West, Eureka the past
summer came off with flying colors. I
again advise early orders, for while my
stock is large, the demand for Eureka is
simply astonishing. Lhb., 40 cts.; 3 Ibs.,

FREEMAN POTATO
- — Twenty Years of Triumph
Sold for $3.00 Per Pound in 1891

The Freeman is a strong grower, contain-
ing fresh, vigorous blood. It is early in
reaching maturity; productive, and univer-
sally admitted to be the finest flavored
potato on the market.

The tuber is oval in shape and russet in
color. The flesh is very white, both raw
and when cooked, fine grained and of best
flavor. The greatest merits of this variety
are its extreme earliness and long keeping
qualities. From the time the tubers are as
large as hens’ eggs until new potatoes come
the next year they burst open when boiled
with their jackets on, and appear snow
white and floury.

They grow very thickly and ripen sev-
eral weeks in advance of Early Rose. I
have frequently dug six to nine pounds
from a single hill, and in rich ground there
are few small ones.

first offered to the public in 1896, at \v \\
$25.00 a barrel, since which time I have \\

received hundreds of reports of field
erops running up to 300 bushels per

not much affected by the usual mid-
summer and autumn droughts, while
in keeping qualities it is unsurpassed
by any late variety under cultivation.
The illustration does not in any way
exaggerate its Smooth and handsome
appearance. It produces an unus-
ually large proportion of merchant-
abletubers. The potatoes grow closely
in the hill, and are of large and nearly
uniform size. Mr. T. B. Terry, the well-
known Ohio potato grower, made a
comparative test of Maule’s Early
Thoroughbred with a potato in favor in
his neighborhood, the result being as 45
to 15 in favor of the former, or atthe rate
of 240 bushels an acre for Early Thor-

Pure Early Rose

An Old Standard Favorite Sort

Every farmer and gardener knows the old Early Rose pota-

except that ill treatment and neglect sometimes cause a poor
or weak strain to be put on the market under the name of
Early Rose seed potatoes. I have been at great pains, there-
fore, to get a true, strong strain of Early Rose grown in the far
North, for my stock, and I can offer it as the purest and best
that can be had. Indeed it is the old Early Rose itself, as
vigorous and productive as ever. Early Rose will never go —

A white-skin, main crop or late potato; the best
of Mr. Carman’s introductions. It is a magnifi-

Yorker No. 2, of which it is aseedling. It is decid-
edly better than its parent, the tubers being quite
uniform in size, with but few small ones among
\ them. It is from four to six days later than the
I) parentstock. The color is the same, the skin and
) flesh being white. In fact, it can be justly claimed
for Sir Walter Raleigh that it is the whitest
fleshed and finest grained potato on the whole list
of main-crop varieties, not even excepting the
ki Snowflake; and it promises to supersede all. other
| sorts of its class on account of its sterling excel-
lence. On the trial grounds of the Rural New Yorker
it proved the best and heaviest cropper of 49 va-
rieties. It does wonderfully well on my trial

grounds at Briar Crest and Panmure. In field cul-
ture it has gone above 450 bushels to the acre. Its
record in all respects entitles it to rank with the
very best late potatoes now grown upon Ameri-
can soil, and no progressive cultivator should fail
to give it a trial.

This handsome and high-merit pumpkin, famed
as a pie-maker, is one of the most satisfactory that
I ever introduced. It has given satisfaction to
many thousands of my customers. It is not only
_ a good thing for the kitchen, but on account of its
i quality is an unsurpassed food for dairy cows.

The flesh is very thick and fine grained, of a
beautiful golden yellow color, and in texture and
| flavor peculiarly adapted for pie-making purposes.

It is very prolific, a single vine often producing
six or eight large pumpkins. Asa winter keeper
it is unexcelled, as the pumpkins will remain in
| perfect condition until late in the spring.

I do not know of anything in the shape of a
pumpkin that will be found more satisfactory for
the family garden or farm use than Maule’s

name indicates, it is especially adapted for house-
hold purposes. It is sweet and delicate in flavor.

Weighs ten or twelve pounds on the average, but
easily running up to greater weight under good

they were like peas in a pod, all alike; one crowding the other out of

ibe Maule’s Earliest White

A splendid, olive shaped radish, pure white in
color, which I secured in France from a promi-
nent grower, and is now widely popular here.
It is distinctly earlier than any other radish
\ grown, of any color, as will be understood when
I say that good sized radishes may be pulled in
12 to 15 days from the sowing of the seed. It has
a small top, is solid and crisp, of good flavor,
and first-classin every respect. Packet, 10 cts.

s: Maule’s Improved
Long Scarlet Short Top

The only objection to this radish is its name,

which is too long, but is very descriptive. In
it we have, without exception, the very finest
long brittle, brightest scarlet radish I am ac-
quainted with. My seed has for years been
grown for me by the same French grower, who
has bred it up until now it is simply the
perfection of a long red radish, and much
better than the ordinary strain offered. It
matures beautiful radishes, which are always
brittle and sweet, 25 to 30 days from the sowing
of the seed. Size and shape well shown in
illustration herewith. It is undoubtedly the
Standard long red variety for either the mar-
ket or home gardener. Packet, 5 cts.; ounce,

White Tipped

The cut gives an idea of the shape of this
attractive radish. The color is scarlet and
white. It is extremely quick to mature, being
ready for the table in 17 to 20 days from the
time of sowing the seed. It is invaluable for
forcing under glass, aS well as for growth in
the open air. The skin is very smooth, and its
clear color gives it an appetizing appearance
on the table. Its flavor is excellent, and its
qualities high in all respects. Market garden-

always above ordinary sorts, and it is no less
satisfactory in the private or home garden.

crisp and brittle. Theskin is of a rich, scarlet
color, while the flesh is pure white, and always

top, and is well adapted to open air culture or
to forcing under glass. In favorable weather
and in good soil it will mature in 18 to 20 days
from the sowing of the seed. It is extensively
used by market gardeners and truckers, who

NEW ICICLE RADISH.

« NEW ICICLE

Long, White, Extremely Early

Excellent and profitable; a new and distinct
sort. Ready for use as soon as Maule’s Long
Scarlet Short Top, but has fewer leaves and is
even better for forcing. Admirable alike for
open air and under glass.

The Icicle radish is perfectly white in color,
and long, slender and tapering in shape. It
quickly grows to market size, is crisp and
brittle, and of mild, sweet flavor. It remains
tender during the entire growing period, and is
quite as good when an inch in diameter as
when only half an inch.

A fine variety for market and private gar-
deners, who have a demand for an early, long,
white radish. It was a marvel of excellence at
Briar Crest and Panmure, and will certainly
become popular. Packet, 10 cents; ounce,

HORSE-RADISH SETS

Horse-radish is always in demand in winter and spring. The culture
is by sets or root cuttings, as it seldom seeds. These sets are planted in ¢
rows or furrows 2 to 3 feet apart and 15 to 18 inches apart in the rows.
The sets should be placed in a perpendicular position, with crown
3to6 inches below surface. Horse-radish delights in a deep, rich soil
and requires but little cultural attention. It
makes large top growth, giving weeds small
chance. Near to markets the horse-radish isa
Z most important crop. The common variety I (
offer at 25c. per dozen; 90c. per 100, by mail, ;
postpaid. By ex. or fgt., not prepaid, 60c. per 100; $5.00 per 1000.

MALINER KREN.—(New Horse Radish from Bohemia.) Even
ordinary horse radish is a very profitable crop, but with this magnificent
new sort from Bohemia the possibilities are wonderful. Culture same as
for ordinary kinds, but the roots are so much larger and heavier that the
yield is about doubled. Then, too, it matures so much quicker that the
crop can be sold in October. The flesh is pure white. Three and four tons
per acre can be grown easily. This grand variety was found in Bohemia
by Mr. David Fairchild, Agricultural Explorer for the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, and my roots are from the original lot. Price, 6 for 25
cts.; 40 cts. per doz.; $1.75 per 100, by mail, postpaid. By express

Winter Squashes
«s Maule’s Improved Hubbard

THE ACKNOWLEDGED STANDARD FOR QUALITY

More people in more places plant the Hubbard Squash than any other
sort; that is, it is the American favorite. It out-sells all other varieties
in winter in the great Hastern markets, It is an especial favorite in New
York and New England, but reaches perfection almost everywhere at
the North from ocean to ocean. Thousands and tens of thousands of »
barrels of Hubbards are annually disposed of in Philadelphia, New York
and Boston. While the average strain is good there are differences 1n
the Hubbard type which should be recognized by progressive gardeners.

Maule’s Improved Hubbard represents the perfection of the type. It
is the choicest type of Hubbard grown.

The flesh is of arich yellow or orange color, and is very fine grained,
solid, dry and sweet. The toughness of the rind or shell makes it
a good keeper. The color varies somewhat, being sometimes green and
sometimes reddish when mature; but the color and quality of the flesh
are fixed and unchangeable—always a deep golden yellow or orange.

Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 20 cts.; 14 pound, 50 cts.; pound, $1.75.

636 MAMMOTH WHALE.—An extra large fruited sort, quite dis-
tinct in form and appearance. Often grows 3 feet long and some-

The Greatest of all Early Tomatoes

Today, 19 years after its introductlon to the American public, it
is still the leading extra early tomato, and all its name implies:

Four Days to a Week Earlier Than Earliana or any
Other Extra Early Tomato

Since 1892 my friends have
made tens of thousands of dol-
lars by planting Maule’s Earliest
of All, and if you have not given
this wonderful variety a trial
you will neglect your own inter-
ests if you do not include it in
your order for 1911. Maule’s
Earliest of All is the best tomato
in America for truckers, market gardeners and money makers.

Nor is its extreme earliness its only virtue, for it is of large
size, good color and delicious flavor. It does not crack and has
no hard core. Color is a bright red, and though a little irregu-
lar in shape, the fruit is not rough.

Pages of this catalogue could be filled with statements and comments about the money
value of this fine, early tomato; but the best testimonial that I can present in regard to its worth ©
is the fact that my customers, especially the New Jersey truckers, have again and again ex-
hausted my supply of seed, even when I had imagined it to be sufficient for all demands.

Earliest of All is all its name implies, namely: the earliest tomato in existence, notwithstand-
ing the claims made for June Pink, Earliana, Early Jewel, Early Richmond, etc., ete.

.« Livingston’s Globe Tomato
Distinct in Shape, Firm Fleshed and Blight Proof

(Purplish Rose.) This new tomato has already become a big leader with many -
prominent and successful tomato growers in all parts of the country, and is becom- |
ing one of the main varieties grown by the leading tomato growers in Florida,
because it has never shown any tendency to blight. In shape it is notably distinct
from all others except Coreless, being a beautiful globe shape, which permits a
greater number of slices to be made than is possible with flat varieties of the fruit.
Of large size, maintained throughout the season. Always smooth, firm fleshed and
has very few seeds; ripens evenly. Color a fine glossy rose, tinged with purple; very |
attractive. Bears fruit in clusters of from three to seven, so that it can be truthfully ©
stated the plants are literally loaded with beautiful tomatoes. Of special value to

: Z all long distance shippers, and a valuable variety for forcing under glass.

(Bright red.)
itself at once in the high esteem of every tomato grower who

Maule’s Success Tomato found a place for

planted it. That it well deserves the name ‘‘Suecess” is borne
out by the fact that, when I offered $100 for a name for this
variety, 37 of my customers suggested the name Success. No
other name would have been as appropriate, and no better
title has been found for a new vegetable, fruit or flower for
many a day. In shape Success is smooth, well formed and
extremely deep from stem to blossom, making it unusually
heavy. It ripens evenly to the stem, and is without ridges or
cracks ; has great meatiness and few seeds. It is firm without
being hard; an unrivaled home tomato and an unequaled
shipper. The vines are vigorous but compact. The joints

are short and it always fruits in large clusters at every second
joint. This accounts for its wonderful productiveness.
Maule’s Success is the heaviest for its size of any variety, and
on account of its brilliant red color, depth and solidity, is the
handsomest tomato J have ever seen. Almost 10,000 letters
have come to hand from my customers, praising Success in
the highest terms. On the market stall its beautiful appear-
ance and color make it sell ahead of all sorts, and its unusual
solidity, few seeds and desirable form make it the most desir-
able canning variety known. The largest growers of tomatoes
for canning and market purposes are all enthusiastic about
Success. I have never introduced a variety of any vegetable
which has sprung so quickly into popular favor.

225,000 Sample Packets Without a Name Distributed Among My Customers for Trial in 1903

(Bright red.) Never before has any vegetable been tried so
thoroughly in all sections of the country as Maule’s Magnifi-
cent. In different soils and various climatie conditions
it came out with flying colors. The name, suggested by
eleven customers, expresses in one word how really good it is,
and it certainly well deserves the name of Magnificent. In
describing it I cannot do better than quote from a report sent
to me by Mr. A. F. Boyd, Limestone, Pa. Mr. Boyd writes as
follows: ‘‘It is different from all other tomatoes in almost
every particular. First—The plants root well from the very
beginning of their growth. Second—As the result of this
strong growth of root there is a large and vigorous growth of
stock to support the weight of the fruit. Third—As a result
of this strong and vigorous growth of stock the spreading
branches produce a great abundance of fruit from each plant,
giving larger crops than other tomatoes of equal acreage.
Fourth—The fruit is large, solid and smooth, easily prepared
for market on acccunt of its perfection. Rub each tomato

Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 40 cents;

with a dry cloth, and your basket will challenge any gardener |
for size, smoothness, richness of color and general perfection. |
A good shipper, does not crack or rot; unsurpassed for canning. |
Fifth—The plant is hardy, can be set out early and not be |
injured by the cold if protected from frost. Sixth—The fruit |
ripens early, and the later fruit on the vines is just as large
and perfect as the early. After two heavy frosts (the vines ©
lightly covered with straw) we are selling as fine tomatoes as
I have ever seen, the people glad to get them at one dollar per
bushel. If you want an abundant crop of solid, smooth, |
bright red, meaty tomatoes that will be large and good as
long as vines can be protected from frosts, send for Maule’s
Magnificent.”’

Thousands upon thousands of people seeing this tomato
growing in the gardens of their neighbors were struck by its |
remarkable beauty, making the remark they must surely |
have some of this seed next year, so that Maule’s Magnificent /
has at once sprung into popular favor.

c1 New Goreless Tomato

(Scarlet red.) A perfect globe shaped medium to large size tomato of
recent introduction. This new shape is preferred by many growers; it
is almost round, being about the same diameter each way. There is
little or no depression at the stem end; making it very economical for
all uses. It is most productive, clusters of six or more fruits being pro-
duced at close intervals all along the vines. Fine for slicing, the seed
cells being surrounded by bright red, heavy, meaty and delicious flesh,
which is slightly more acid than in some other varieties. In color it
isa rich bright red. On account of its superior solidity it is a good long
distance shipper. The vine is a strong and most luxuriant grower. A
main crop tomato for canners, home or market gardeners. 4

cz June Pink Tomato

(Bright pink.) This grand early variety originated in New Jersey

who wish an extra early pink skin tomato. The originator claims June

Pink ripens as early as Earliana. Foliage and shape of tomato closely
resemble Earliana, and many, not observing the fruit, would naturally ~
think it was that variety. In market where pink varieties are preferred
it will bring 25 per cent. more in price than similar red varieties.
vine is compact and branches freely: with handsome, good size, deep

and has other good qualities, making it especially desirable for home
use, as it continues to bear and ripen its attractive fruit up until frost.

« Maule’s Enormous Tomato

Vegetable Seeds—91

(Deep red.) Maule’s
Enormous Tomato, bred
by Mr. Miesse, was first
introduced to the public
in my catalogue for 1899,
having been sent out the
previous year in packets
for trial under the name
“Hight to the Yard.”
Maule’s Enormous, how-
ever, Was not bred merely
for large size. The name
was selected from the fact
that it seemed to apply
better to this wonderful
tomato than to any other.
In com parative trials
with other sorts, under
ordinary conditions,
Maule’s Enormous has
made a record for both
quality and quantity,
while the beauty of the
fruit makesitan easy and
quick seller in all mar-
kets. The fruit is re-
markably solid and firm.
Enormous is now uni-
versally recognized as a
standard main crop red
tomato, of great size and
productive ability, and of
the highest amateur and
commercial quality. EKy-
ery body is pleased with it.
Its enormous size and
good quality make it the
leading large red tomato.

(Searlet red.) Very popular with many growers of tomatoes
for early market. There is no question but that Earliana is
|a very early variety, and one fully deserving the remarkable
newspaper notoriety it has had for the past few years. As
far as [ am personally concerned I am satisfied Maule’s
Earliest of All is still the earliest of all tomatoes. But at the
Same time I am willing to admit that Spark’s Earliana is
| also an excellent variety, and that it has given Maule’s Harl-
|iest of All a harder tussle for supremacy than any early vari-
ety. Of large size, scarlet red color and great productiveness.

A Large, Tender and Sweet Turnip, Deserving Universal Trial

This new turnip is a large white variety, of great merit, and comes
directly from Japan; in fact, the seed which I offer was actually grown
in Japan, and was imported expressly for this season’s sales. Theshape
of the turnip, as shown 1n the illustration, is between fiat and globe. The
color is a pure white, both outside and inside, except that there is a pale
linting of green on top, near the leayes. As it is a large turnip it has
correspondingly large and vigorous leaves. It is solid and meaty in
flesh. Asa heavy cropper and reliable winter keeper it cannot be ex-
celled, and I am able to recommend it highly to farmers and gardeners.
It will be found adapted to table use as wellas to stock. This variety
is new, and the seed stock is limited.

707 MAULE’S HEAVY CROPPING SWEDE.—I have been sell- |
ing this magnificent ruta baga for 21 years, having first offered it in ©
1888, and it has given perfect satisfaction everywhere. It is, I think, the
finest and most profitable of all the Swede turnips, being the hardiest,
heaviest, best shaped and most productive. The roots are better keepers
than other sorts. The flesh is of a beautiful yellow color, of the
choicest quality, and full of nourishment. The external markings, the
shape, etc., may be learned by referring to the illustration. It is the
king of the ruta bagas. Pkt., 5c.3; oz., 10c.; 14 1b., 30¢.3 lb., 85c.

708 IMPROVED PURPLE TOP SWEDE. — Next in yield and
value after my Heavy Cropping Swede, I place this old standard varie-
ty. It is of fine quality and is widely grown. It keeps perfectly all
winter, and even into the following summer. Itis hardy, productive,
sweet, solid and satisfactory. Its shape is shown in the illustration,
which also gives a hint ofits yield. Itis justly held in high esteem for
both table and stock feeding purposes. My strain of this seed is of the
best, as I long since succeeded, by careful selection, in attaining a
stock of the highest purity and excellence.

Maule’s Field Seeds

Nothing better illustrates my policy of business than the fact that one of my
leading Yellow Dent corns today was also one of my leading specialties 26 years
ago, so much so that away back in 1889, when the American Agriculturist offered
large cash prizes to those of their subscribers raising the largest yield on a
single acre of corn, the first prize in this contest was secured by the late 4
Alfred Rose, of Penn Yan, Yates Co., N. Y., who purchased his seed from
me; and the second prize was secured by another one of my customers, in
Nebraska, who also purchased his corn from me; one raising 213 bush-
els, the other 171 bushels on a single acre of ground. ‘The reports
of both these gentlemen were thoroughly investigated and found ,
correct by a jury composed entirely of disinterested parties. The f
variety was my Mastodon Corn, which my friends will find 4
prominently listed on page 101 of this catalogue. Although
it has been more than 26 years since I originally named and
introduced the Mastodon variety, it is as good today as it
was then, I simply reiterate this incident to emphasize
the fact that in field seeds, as well as in vegetables,
I believe that the old standbys, if properly taken
care of and improved year by year, are in many 4g
cases equal, if indeed they do not surpass the new 4{¢
things it is customary for so many seedsmen
to offer each year, and which frequently die
a natural death before they are out of their
swaddling clothes. Owing to the large size SS v \
of this book, in connection with other SA \ SF URA Vw

White Dent

Corn

A Single Ear Has
Won $1,000 in Prizes

This wonderful white dent corn is one
of the sensations among progressive
farmers. During the Chicago and Omaha
National Corn Expositions, this variety
has captured prizes amounting to $10,183.50.
It also won the Grand Prize at the St. Louis
Exposition and the Silver Medal at the Paris
Exposition. The reason for this is because it com-
plies with the score card more than any other com
grown. The high breeding of this variety makes it
uniform in exhibit. The ears are cylindrical in shape
up to within about 2 inches of the tip, where there
is a slight tapering. Both kernel and cob are white.
The tips of the ears are well filled, a large percentage of
é them being completely covered with grain. The butts are
v) deeply rounded with medium shanks. The kernels are uni-

<\ » form in size and very long and wedge-shaped. The ears will

ing wind and sun. Matures in about 110 days. According to analysis
Johnson County White Dent is very rich in protein, which every stock
raiser will appreciate. This corn has been known to yield from 100 to
125 bushels per acre and gives excellent satisfaction to all who have grown

it as far north as 80 miles above Philadelphia. Mr. L. H. Cooch, Editor
of The Practical Farmer, grew some Johnson County White Dent on his farm
last year and speaks of it in most glowing terms, his stock seed cost $10.00 per
bushel, and Mr. Cooch considers it the best investment in seed corn he ever made.

I have purchased his crop, and this is the seed I am offering my customers. I
must say I have never seen handsomer ears of corn than are now at my office, filled
completely out to the tips, measuring fully 10 to 12 inches long, and Mr. Cooch tells
me these are not a picked sample either. As long as my supply of Johnson County

A FINE YELLOW DENT CORN

Resists Drought and Scorching

D TO U g h tp YOO Best pate Than Any Other

Droughtproof originated in Erie County, Ohio, and came to me through Mr. C.S. Clark,
from whom I originally obtained the celebrated Early Mastodon that to-day is well and
favorably known in all sections of the country. Mr. Clark wrote to me in 1901 that if
I wanted something distinctly better than anything on the market in the way of a bright
yellow dent corn, he had it, and would give me the first chance atit. It took me buta
short time to place with Mr. Clark probably the largest order ever given for any variety of
corn the first year; in fact, I took Mr. Clark’s entire crop.

My own field notes in regard to Droughtproof were in substance as follows:

The largest grain of any Yellow Dent Corn. The smallest cob of any Yellow Dent
Corn. Brightest color of grain. Fully as early as Leaming. Yield not excelled by any
other sort. Strong growth of stalk and handsome ear. Unusual yield of shelled corn in-
sured by great depth of grain.

Under date of November 6th, 1901, Mr. Clark wrote to me as follows:

“You are fortunate to have the new Droughtproof yellow dent corn to place before
your customers. More corn fields have been ruined by the drought and hot sun killing
the tassel and pollen this past season than the writer has.ever known, and especially is
this fact true in the great corn belt. This new corn (now named Droughtproof) went
on through six weeks of growing weather without a drop of rain, and the heat the most
severe ever known in this section, and it has made a crop where other sorts failed. All
fields that leaned towards the hot sun burned up. The pollen on these fields was killed,
therefore the silk was not fertilized; result, no grains on the cob. On the other hand, a
large field of this wonderful strong-growing variety, which leaned toward the sun, kept
green and yielded over 100 bushels per acre. I do not hesitate to say that, all points consid-
ered—its beautiful color, small cob, long yellow grains, large ears—taking all points com-
bined, it is the finest yellow corn ever introduced, and each customer who gives it a trial
will be fully convinced that it is the best 90 to 100 day corn he ever planted.”

Droughtproof Corn is phenomenally excellent, and should be tried by all farmers. It

will yield big crops wherever corn can be grown. I advise all my friends to try it.

Rei Yellow Dent

The Most popular Yellow Dent Corn in the Great Central Corn Belt. Does Equally
as well in Pennsylvania as it does in Illinois.

ONG

For a number of years past Reid’s Yellow Dent has been one of the most popular
varieties of the Middle West, some people going so far as to say there is more of thiscorn ©&
planted than of all other sorts combined. It is a true dent corn, color a beautful golden
yellow, with one of the smallest cobs for size of ear of any yellow corn. Ears are
frequently 10 to 11 inches long, and from 7 to 8 inchesin circumference. It is easily shelled
and matures its crop very early, frequently in 100 days or less. Itundoubtedly has taken
more prizes at the Illinois State Fair and other great corn shows than any other variety.
The 10 ears that won the sweepstakes at the Great National Corn Exposition four years
ago sold at auction for $200, or $20.00 a piece. I have an unusual crop of seed this season,
grown in the Middle West, and will furnish it as long as the supply holds out, at the

An Improved Mastodon Gorn

From India

I think the above heading will arrest the
attention of a great many of my seed corn
customers, and in explanation I publish the
following letter from one of my customers,
Mr. John Jauncey, Bega, Angledale, India:

‘IT received by last American mail three packages
of seed potatoes and one of garden seeds which
arrived in good condition. Isend you by this mail
a package of seed corn. It is from the Early Mast-
odon Corn I received from you 10 years ago, which
I allowed to become inoculated with a Yellow Dent
Corn that I had growing at the time, and a very
good kind. I did so intentionally, considering a
cross would be better than either kind alone. The
result has been very satisfactory, but my corn is
now three weeks later than the old Mastodon was.
I may remark the rows on the old Mastodon were
irregular, scarcely a straight row ina sackful; now
the rows are as straight as any.

“Trusting the seed will reach you safely and
that you may be able to make some use of it, I
remain, Yours faithfully,

: “JOHN JAUNCEY.”

The corn duly reached me the latter part
of March, and was such an excellent sample
I determined to raisea crop of it. It proved
very distinct from Mastodon in many ways.
In the first place it is the tallest growing
corn I know of; many of the stalks are 12
to 15 feet high; these stalks being very close
jointed, make most excellent ensilage; in
fact, I think it is going to prove the best
ensilage corn on the market. Two large
ears were to be found on every stalk, aver-
aging in length from 10 to 13 inches. It
sets its ears from 4} to 5 feet from the
=== ground. I believe this corn can be made
to yield with good cultivation, and without
? much trouble, 110 to 125 bushels per acre,
besides making tons of the most desirable
ensilage. The great trouble is it takes 115
to 120 days to mature. I consider this the
greatest novelty in corn offered in many
years. I am glad to be able to offer this
year Improved Mastodon from India, in
large quantities, so advise early orders, as
I expect a heavy demand for it, at the fol-
lowing prices:

Cartner, Pawnee county, Nebraska, it produced 171 bushels of shelled corn to
the acre. In both cases I furnished the seed.

There has been a brisk demand for this corn for years past, and my supply
has not infrequently been completely exhausted early in the season. I regret
to believe that unscrupulous dealers have sold a great deal of inferior or impure
seed under the name of Mastodon, thus deceiving their customers and injuring
the reputation of a noble variety of corn. My suggestion is, therefore, that
purchases be made only from reliable neighbors who have raised the stock or
that orders be sent direct to me at 1711 Filbert street, Philadelphia, for the
true headquarters seed, and run no risk.

Maule’s Improved Harly Mastodon combines large yield, large grains and
extra early quality to a remarkable degree. It originated with Mr. C. 8.
Clark, of Ohio, probably the largest grower of seed corn in America. Mr.
Clark grows every variety of corn known to the American public, and claims
Mastodon to be the best of all. He truly says that it is a high bred corn of
beautiful color. Nothing surpasses it in number of rows on cob, and in depth
of grains. It makes fine looking shelled corn, showing two shades of color,
and commanding the highest price in market.

Mr. Clark further states that it fully withstands the rigor of this Northern
climate, makes a rapid, strong and rank growth, attains a good height,
“and will outyield any corn ever grown in this section. * * * It was grown
and ripened in from 96 to 110 days within eight miles of Lake Hrie. Fields
planted June 1 were cut September 15.”

“The Mastodon is three weeks to one month earlier than Golden Beauty, \
growing side by side, and planted the same week. How can it be otherwise?
It is crossed with the two earliest corns ever grown in the North—the White
Cap and Harly Yellow Dent.” .

Long’s White Tartar Oats

In the greatest oats section of Western New York, these oats have created considerable
excitement for the last few years, and last season, where they could get the seed, it was
purchased by farmers to the exclusion of all other varieties. This improved strain of oats

was originally obtained by selecting the largest and most vigorous plants from an extra.
@=> good stock of Improved White Tartar; by continuing this selection for a number of years,
Mr. Long so improved the variety in vigor and productiveness, that it earned the right to
be properly called Long’s White Tartar Oats. These oats have immense heads of grain,
often measuring a foot long, and always well filled; the straw is very large, strong and
stiff, and less liable to lodge than any other variety. The seed is large, plump and heavy,
pure white and with thin hulls. Furthermore, they are earlier by several days than any
other variety. From my experience with it the past sea-
son, [ am convinced that White Tartar will yield at least
15 bushels per acre more than any other variety, and from
20 to 80 bushels more than common oats. Last year we
got a yield of 91 bushels per acre on a 7-acre field, and 74
bushels per acre on a 26-acre field, the latter not yielding
as well as the first on account of late sowing. There is
‘pound to be an enormous demand for this variety this

I have no doubt I shall be sold out before the season is

tomers desiring these oats in quantity.

New White Plume Oats

Field of White Tartar

A new variety of oats furnished me by Mr. G. W. Ketchum @
prominent oat grower in Western New York. He has this to say:
“T have grown several varieties of oats for many years, but I con-
sider ‘New White Plume’ the best white side oat I have ever
raised.” This new oat produces very large heads of heavy white
grains, is a heavy cropper, and matures very early in the season.
This season one field, from which our seed oats of White Plume
was harvested, averaged 82 bushels to the acre, weighing almost
40 pounds to a measured bushel. The tall stiff straw produces
large, plump, thick berries with a thin shuck, is a vigorous grower
unusually heavy in weight, and the best of yielders. White Plume
does not lodge, and is free from smut. As this is its first season,
I have only a few hundred bushels of this oat to offer, so advise

Two Profitable Oats

Handsome and Prolific
Golden Fleece Oats. Over 100 Bushels Per Acre

It originated in central New York, and has already been widely tested and approved. First
offered in 1902, and it met everybody’s expectations fully. The yield of Golden Fleece oats has
reached as much as 4,752 pounds of cleaned seed per acre. This is 108 bushels of 44 pounds each,
or nearly 150 bushels of 82 pounds each. The large white grains are plump and handsome. The
straw is very strong, and stands up well. The blade is double the size of ordinary oats, which
attests the vigor and productive capacity of the strain. Golden Fleece is remarkable for its
great stooling capacity, and for this reason the seeding requirements are lighter than with
most other sorts. I believe that this grand oats, by reason of its unusual vigor, will prove
distinctly profitable in many places where the oats crop has heretofore been a failure, or only
a partial success. In all oats growing sections the Golden Fleece will prove to be a perfect
treasure, not only in the way of heavy production but in point of quality. Packet, 10 cts.;
pound, 25 cts.; 3 pounds, 65 cts., by mail, postpaid. By express or freight, not pre=-
paid, peck, 50 cts.; bushel of 32 pounds, $1.50; 10 bushels, $13.50.

M ortgage Lifter Oats. Just What Its Name Implies

I take satisfaction in the conspicuous and universal success of this highly profitable oats. No,
better name than Mortgage Lifter could have been selected for it, as it is a first-class cropper,
early to mature, and of unusually heavy weight. The straw is strong and stiff, and is thus far
free from rust. It is so strong and thrifty that neither freezing weather, protracted drought,
heavy rain, nor hot wind seems to have much effect upon its growth. It appears able to go
right along from start to finish almost without regard to weather or conditions. Mortgage
Lifter is as bright and white as a new silver dollar, with a hull as thin as a sheet of paper.
“We have raised,’ says the originator, ‘‘a hundred bushels to the acre.”” A yield like this is
uncommon, but yields of 60, 70 or 80 bushels can be obtained by any good farmer with careful
culture. My opinion of Mortgage Lifter oats is very high. Pkt., 10c.; lb., 25c.; 3 lbs., 65c.,

it is ready for pasturage in six weeks from the time of Sowing. One acre
of good rape will carry a flock of a dozen sheep for two months. Rapeis
a plant of the cabbage family, requiring the same cultural treatment as
the turnip. It is grown exclusively for its leaves. Stock should be fed
alternately on grass and rape; notonrapeexclusively. Rape-fed animals
Should have free access to salt. The seed should be sown in May, for
midsummer pasturage; or any time before the end of August (at the
North) for autumn pasturage. In the Southern States the best sowing
time is September or October. Rape isa plant which loves cool weather,
and thrives better in autumn than in midsummer. The seed should be
used at the rate of 8 pounds per acre in drills, or 5 pounds per acre broad-
cast. Rape is an excellent green manure for plowing down.

104—Cow Peas and Soja Beans

NEW REVENUE COW PEA.

THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1911

Cow peas have long been grown in the South as forage crops and soil improvers.
The Practical Farmer, of Philadelphia, has constantly urged their importance. The

Cow Peas

cease TH ma:

result has been that the attention of the Northern farmers has been attracted to the

crop, and the culture has been greatly extended as varieties have been introduced that ripen anywhere in the -
North. They will thrive where clover will not grow. They must not be sown till the soil is warm. Where wheat —

follows the oat crop, the peas can be sown after oats are harvested and will make a growth to turn under for
wheat that will improve the crop. The early 70-day sorts are best for this purpose; the running varieties for
earlier Sowing for hay. The crop of hay even on land of only moderate fertility will be more than 2 tons per acre.

New Revenue

The originator says: ‘New Revenue is all I claim it
to be. I do not offer it as a field pea but as a garden
pea. The table varieties of the cow pea are almost
unknown out of the South, but area staple article of
food there. Such sorts as Black Eye, Lady and Rice
are extensively grown for table use. Revenue lays all
these sorts in the shade. I have had ten years’ experi-
ence in testing and crossing the different types of cow
peas, and I know this to be the most valuable all-around
pea ever offered. It is early, productive and an ex-
tremely rank grower. The green pods are splendid as
snap beans, delicious hulled and used while green as
lima beans, and excellent in the dried state, boiled or
baked as navy beans, or used in soups. Makes as large
@ growth of vines as the Wonderful, 8 to 15 feet long,
and covered the entire ground to a depth of 2 or 38 feet
with a dense growth of vines. It outyields any other
pea I am acquainted with. In average seasons Reve-
nue matures in 90 days. The pods are fit for use in 70
to 75 days. It is not quite so early as Black Hye, but is
by far the earliest of all the heavy growing sorts. It
will yield more peas than any sort J have tested. The
peas are large and well crowded in the pods. ‘So pro-
ductive is this pea that a small packet, planted two
peas in a hill, 8 or 4 feet apart each way, will produce
enough edible peas or pods for an average family.’

paid. By express or freight, not prepaid, quart,
30 cents; peck, $1.50; bushel, $5.00.

Panmure Early Wonder

This is a valuable early and productive variety,
yields enormously of shelled peas, which are excellent
for table use during the winter. It makes an ordinary
vine, not so rank as some other varieties; the stems
that support the pods stand erect 6 to 10 inches above
all the vines, having 3 to 6 pods to each stem, and some
pods contain as many as 20 peas, making them very
easy to gather by handpicking, producing an average
yield of 40 bushels shelfed peas per acre, A good soil
improver and relished by all farm stock.

Packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 50 cents,
postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid,
quart, 30 cts.; peck, $1.50; bushel, $6.00.

The Clay

This is so called from the color of the seed, which
is the color of reddish yellow clay. The plant is of
the same season and habit of growth as the Black, and
like the Black has ripened at Ithaca, New York. Many
growers in the South prefer it to the large Black
because of the fineness of the growth, which makes it
easier to cure. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart,
40 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, not pre=
paid, quart, 25 cts.; peck, $1.00; bushel, $3.50.

Extra Early Black Eye

This pea is one of the earliest. It is a strong grower

and moderate trailer.’ It will mature seed in about 60

days. Avery valuable hay crop can be made from it
in the North, especially on sandy soils.
it is grown mainly for table use, and takes the place
of the white beans in the North. The peas bring a
higher price on the general market in the South than
any other variety. As a soup pea it soon becomes
popular when tried. Packet, 10 cts.; pint., 25 cts.;

Whip-poor-will

A small seeded pea of a dark reddish color dotted
over with dark specks. It is a second early variety,
and matures in about 70 days. It is not a heavy forage
maker, but a very productive variety and largely
grown as a soil improver and for pasturage.

quart, 25 cents; peck, 90 cents; bushel, $3.25.

Black

This variety offered is the Black that is universally

grown in Virginia and North Carolina, and called the ©

Large Seeded Black. It is about a 100-day pea from
planing to ripening seed. Trails freely and makes a
heavy crop of hay. In fact, one of the best for hay, as
it will get into condition for curing early enough for
any locality in the Middle States. Has matured to per-
fect ripeness as far north as Ithaca, New York.

Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents,
postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid,
quart, 25 cts.; peck, $1.00; bushel, $3.50.

The Wonderful

This is a pea of a light yellowish dun color. It was
formerly known in the South by the names Quadroon
and the Unknown, but the wonderful growth and pro-
fusion of fruiting has given to it the present name. Its
first growth is very erect, but later in the season it runs
rampantly, making vines fully 15 feet long over the
top of the erect growth; and though making so tangled
a growth is rather easy to save because of the erect
lower growth. It is the latest of all the cow peas and
seldom matures seed north of Central Virginia or Dela-
ware. But as a soil improver, to be plowed under in
the late fall, there is no plant that will equal it. For
Silage making it will be found very good.

quart, 25 cents; peck, $1.00; bushel, $3.50. 4

The usual quantity of any of the above cow peas sown per acre, is one bushel, but on strong soil will
result in a stout growth of stem; to produce a finer growth for hay, 14% bushels should be sown.

fodder, being relished by all kinds of stock.
The seed is a good food for horses, and yields a
a fine quality of oil. The stalks, which grow
very large, make excellent fire wood. It can
be sown any time before the middle of July.

received from the California Experimental
Station a few years ago a small sample of
Shallu, andafter continuing planting has now
raised a large crop for this season. He thinks
it is more valuable than Kaffir Corn for the
grain as it yields considerably more seed, and

are produced from asingle grain. Hasily yield-

CLOVERS AND GRASSES

NOTE.—Peck, Bushel and 100-pound prices on Clovers and Grasses are net figures January 1, 1911, and subject to market changes.
I pride myself there is no house in America that takes such extraordinary care in harvesting, cleaning and placing on the
market a more superior grade of grass seed than my establishment. No better illustration of the extra quality of Maule’s
rass seed can be shown than the following: Mr. A. J. Cassatt seeded down on his celebrated Chesterbrook Farm in
hester Valley, a 35-acre field of Maule’s Kentucky Blue Grass; as I expected, it was the admiration of the many visitors
to the farm; nor was I surprised when the manager, Mr. Penn Smith, informed me that at least a dozen of Kentucky's most
celebrated horse breeders visiting Chesterbrook pronounced the field of Blue Grass superior to anything in their State. This
is only one of many Similar instances I could give if I had the space. My prices may be a little higher than others, but you
can depend upon the seed being worth the money, and I need only add in conclusion
that for the last ten years the demand for Maule’s grass seed each year has always
increased, so that now it has reached yery large proportions.

ALFALFA CLOVER.

THE CLOVERS
The Great Agricultural Glover

ALFALFA

Well adapted to dry sections, but thriving anywhere on
well-drained soil. It is a perennial plant, lasting many years
under good treatment, and may be cut several times each sea-
son when well established. Alfalfa roots not infrequently
descend 10 or more feet into the soil, indicating ability to
resist drought. Recent experiments at the New Jersey sta-
tion show that alfalfa has an extremely high value as a forage
crop in the East. It should be tried by all dairymen. Use 15
to 25 pounds of seed per acre. Sow in April and May, or July
and August on well limed land. An alfalfa field is worthy of
all care and expense required to produce it. Bulletin No. 148
of N. J. station, issued in February, 1901, says: ‘‘The average
yield of green forage per acre for three years (including the
first year) was 18.27 tons, equivalent to 4.57 tons of hay. The
yield third year from five cuttings was 26.6 tons of green for-
age, equivalent to 6.65 tons of hay.’

lant grows to a height of 4 to 6 feet, with branches whose extremities

ear numerous small white flowers of great fragrance during the whole
season, which are continuously sought by bees. Itis the bee clover.
Sow 15 pounds to the acre. It is being urged by agriculturists to sow as

Maule’s Extra Lawn Grass Seed

This mixture will insure a beautiful, compact, evergreen sod on any
lawn where the essential requirements of grass culture have been com-
plied with. Its component parts are the grasses peculiarly adapted to

lawns and door yards, including choice selected strains of Kentucky

Blue, ete., along with the best known creeping or sod forming
sorts. I have included a little white clover in the mixture, regarding it
as essential, but will omit it on special request. Timothy and orchard
grass are wholly excluded, on account of their coarse leaves, and only
fine sorts are employed. Full provision is made for a succession of
growth, so that there shall be no break in the richness of the verdure
from spring until autumn, and experience proves that Maule’s Extra
Lawn Grass Mixture is now perfect. Nothing better can be purchased
on the American market, no matter what claims may be advanced by
other seedsmen. My friends will please note that this seed is sold by
the bushel of 20 pounds, while some seedsmen sell a bushel weighing

only 14 pounds. This is because I employ the choicest and heaviest
strains of grass seed in making the mixture. As to preparation of the
soil, I recommend a thorough working and manuring to a depth of 8 or
9 inches, and a regular semi-annual application of top dressing after-
ward. It is a good practice to use well-rotted stable manure in the
autumn and a complete fertilizer carrying potash, like Maule’s Pan-
mure Plant Food, in the spring; also, to renovate the lawn every spring
with a little fresh seed, using a quarter or a third the quantity employed
in the original seeding. Grass seed should be sown in April or Sep-
tember. Use 1 quart to 300 square feet of ground, or 1 bushel will sow
a plot 100 feet wide and 108 feet long or 4 bushels per acre. Maule’s
Extra Lawn Grass Mixture cannot be excelled for quality and vitality.
Quart, 25 cents; 2 quarts, 45 cents; 5 quarts, $1.00, postpaid.

Maule’s Quick Results Lawn
Mixture

This mixture is for producing an immediate greensward that will be
followed by a good, permanent sod. It is especially to be reeommended
for late spring seeding, without a nurse crop. For early seeding I
would rather use Maule’s Extra Lawn Grass Mixture, but after May Ist
(in the latitude of Philadelphia) I would much prefer this one. It will
make rapid growth, and will be ready to cut two weeks or more in
advance of any other mixture which I offer; nor is it lacking in per-
manence. Qt., 25 cts.; 2 qts., £5 cts.; 5 qts.. $1.00, postpaid. By
express or freight, not prepaid, pk., $1.25; bu., $4.00.

Maule’s Shady Lawn Mixture

This mixture is intended for all situations that are in partial or com-
plete shade, and will be found invaluable on grounds lying under the
shadows of trees or buildings. In preparing such places for the recep-
tion of grass seeds it is well to use air slaked lime quite liberally (50
bushels to the acre). The lime sweetens the land and wonderfully aids
the growth of the grass. Lime will be found particularly effective in
open woodlands where grass is desired. This mixture is adapted to its
purpose. Qt., 30 cts.; 2 qts., 50 cts.3 5 qts., $1.10, postpaid. By ex-
press or freight, not prepaid, peck, $1.50; bushel (15 lbs.), $5.00.

Maule’s Steep Slope Mixture

This is for banks, terraces, steep or exposed slopes and bare spots in
general; in fact, for any place, however dry, stony or barren. It will
produce a sod that is absolutely proof againstheat or drought, and that
cannot be injured by cold. The grasses produce strong, spreading
roots, thus preventing heavy rains from washing them out; will
withstand exposure, thrives on shallow soils, and at the Same time
produces a rich, velvety green turf throughout the season. I recom-
mend, however, the same fair treatment elsewhere asked for; that is,
semi-annual top dressings of fertilizers or manures, in order to main-
tain the vigor of the grasses. Quart 30 cents; 2 quarts, 50 cents, |

A FIELD OF MAULE’S PERMANENT PASTURE GRASS.

Maule’s Three Permanent Pasture Mixtures

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. My 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 mixtures I employ mainly Kentucky Blue, Timothy, English
Rye, Italian Rye, Red Top or Herd, Orchard, Tall Meadow Oat, Meadow
Foxtail, Meadow Fescue, Hard Fescue, Tall Fescue, Rough Stalk Mea-
dow, Canadian Blue, Awnless Brome, Creeping Bent, Sweet Vernal, ete.

In the clover mixture I employ Red, Mammoth, Alsike and White.
A few of these components will disappear in two or three years, but the
others are absolutely permanent. I vary the proportions to suit differ-
ent situations.

Maule’s Fair Green Golf Mixture

This mixture is compounded to produce a tough sod that will resist
tramping and hard usage. Year after year I have supplied this seed to
the most prominent golf clubs in the country. It is made up mainly
of hardy, low growing, creeping grasses, which are not hurt by constant
mowing and ceaseless wear. This mixture will produce a rich green

turf; a turf which asks only for a semi-annual top dressing of fertilizer
to last indefinitely. Seed should be applied in liberal amounts; fully
75 pounds per acre. Qt., 25 cts.3 2 qts., 45 cts.; 5 qts., $1.00, post-=

Maule’s Putting Green Golf Mixture

It is impossible to have a putting green too much like a piece of vel-
vet, and I have been careful in the preparation of this mixture to select
the finest blend and most hardy of the low growing grasses and have
only to urge upon the owners of golf grounds to see that the putting
greens are fertilized twice a year (early spring and late fall) with finely
ground bone meal; or (in the autumn) with rotted manure passed
through a fine screen. With a proper preparation of the soil in

Panmure Plant Food will be found entirely satisfactory.

For Out-door Use For all gardening operations I recommend

the use of Panmure Plant Food at the rate of
1,000 to 2,006 pounds per acre, in connection with a liberal amount of
stable manure, or else upon sod spaded down or plowed under. This
may sound like a large amount of high-grade fertilizer to use, but it is
no more than is applied by the commercial gardeners and truckers
near the great cities. It is better to make several applications of ferti-
lizer during a year than to put it all in at one time.

Panmure Plant Food is constructed for both quick

able thing for grass. I haye used it with the most excellent results on
grass, clover and forage plants. It produces a rich, green, healthy
color, and a vigorous growth. It is just right for the lawn, and may be
used in spring, summer or autumn. A 10-pound package of Panmure
Plant Food is quite sufficient for four square rods of lawn.

For General Farming. For general farm crops I recommend

300 to 400 pounds per acre of Panmure
Plant Food. This fertilizer is absolutely the best for farm purposes
within my knowledge. It will give grand results on wheat, oats, corn
and hay, and also on meadows, mowing fields and pastures. I have
tested it upon almost every farm crop, in my Panmure trials, and have
been myself surprised at the results.

is not a hot fertilizer, though I recommend that it be mixed well with

worth several times as much as the ordinary commercial fertilizer,

Lady’s Slipper. <A favorite, quick
growing annual, producing large, bril-

Height 15 to 20 inches. The Lady's
Slipper is of easiest culture, and succeeds in anyrich soil. It is well to
sow the seeds thickly, in a temporary row, and then to transplant to per-
manent quarters. This makes the plants strong and stocky, and insures
the greatest number of double flowers. My balsams cannot be excelled.

Witu some other color. Most of the

MAMMOTH FLOWERING MARGUERITE. I regard these glor-

weeks from the sowing of the seed, and is the most profuse blocmer of
the whole group of pinks. The plants are of compact and robust
growth, but of dwarf habit. They are easily managed, and make the
best of bedding plants. They may be treated as annuals, or wintered
(under some protection) in the open air. They make admirable win-
dow plants, and may be potted for this purpose in the autumn. The
best plan, perhaps, is to sow fresh seed every spring, 80 as always to
have vigorous young plants for summer, autumn and winter blooming.
The flowers are extremely fragrant. The size of bloom is 2 inches, or
even up to3inches. The colors include rose, white, scarlet, yellow, etc.

weekly Boston publication, issue of
May 7, 1910:

Maule Expands

“For several years Wm. Henry Maule,
the well-known mail order Philadelphia
Seedsman, has worked under a handicap
for lack of room. A considerable part of
his seed business has been carried on in a
building owned by him on Market Street,
and in which are the offices of his paper,
The Practical Farmer. Recently Mr. Maule
has leased the building immediately ad-
joining his main office at 1711 Filbert street
and, as this will give him five additional
floors, it wil! help to solve the problem he
has been wrestling with for several years.
He Proposes tO cut doors through from
his building into the next on each floor,
and when his plang are perfected he will
be able to employ a larger force during the
annual spring rush, and will probably be
prepared to take care of all business within
twenty-four hours after his orders are re-
ceived.

‘Mr. Maule {s one of the most progres-
sive and, it may be added, aggressive men
in the seed business, and there are few im-
provements of a practical character that
he does not avail himself of.”

of bloom can be lengthened by starting the seeds in frames or window
boxes, in early spring. Excellent for cut flowers.

runner of a new race of cosmos. The flowers are immense, 6 to 7 inches

NEW EARLY BLOOMING GIANT FANCY. In this strain,
which has been selected and re-selected with great care and pains, will
be found the finest forms of cosmos thus far developed. It is a noble
mixture or collection of large flowered forms, embracing all colors,
such as white, pink, crimson, white tinted rose, etc. The great flowers,
borne in abundance on long and graceful stems, are sometimes 6 or
more inches across. Some blooms are nearly flat and cone shaped,
with petals variously cut and fringed. Certain of the fringed forms
resemble California poppies, with broad petals of great elegance and
beauty. For best results this magnificent type of cosmos should be
started very early, as it requires a long season for full development. If
sown under glass or in the window box it will bloom in early autumn,
and the gorgeous flowers will continue long after the advent of frosts.

Maule’s Giant Pansies

ness, I have given particular attention to pansy seeds un-
til I really think I have as good strains of pansies as can

be found anywhere in the world; all sterling sorts and of the
richest colors. Pansies demand good soil and plenty of
moisture and are almost perfectly hardy. A number of peo-
ple are accustomed to sowing pansy seeds only in the fall,
but for years [ have been deluged with letters extolling the
size and color of the flowers raised from my seeds sown in the
spring. I really think that the results obtained from my

No annual flower is more widely used than the petunia. It begins to

Many are deliciously fragrant.

Double Extra Large Flowering petunias are without doubt the finest

strain, constantly improving it by selection. The flowers assume great-
er size and richness as time elapses, and the type ever becomes more
desirable. In color, shape, markings and texture it is all that can be de-
sired. The numerous petals are more or less folded, fringed and shaded
and the result is a flower of unexcelled quality and beauty. The plant

veins are carmine and the throat is blood red. Radiating from the
throat in a large proportion of the blooms are five handsome yellow

B | b My Selection, F r
: uloSs Shipped After May Ist O
I made this offer for the first time in 1904. My customers are so delighted with their @
bargains and tell so many of their friends about the liberality of the offer that each

season I dispose of a large number of these popular $1.00 Bulb Collections. The
proposition in a nutshell follows: Every year, May 1st, I have several thousand bulbs on hand, for it is an absolute impossibility to sell out everything.
This year I propose to distribute at least part of this surplus among my friends in the following manner: Send me $1.00 any time before May Ist, and I
will book your order for 100 choice bulbs, my selection, to be filled in rotation as received, after May 1st. In no case will bulbs be sent whose retail
value is less than $3.00. January orders will be filled first, then February, then March, etc. The first orders will receive the best selection, although the
April orders will receive three times their money’s worth. The February orders may get ten times what $1.00 would buy if purchaser made the
selection. Many of the bulbs will be worth 10, 15 and even 25 cents each. The package will go by express, purchaser to pay transportation charges.

Remember, please, that this offer is for surplus bulbs only, and hence I must select the varieties. Packages

across and are borne in large clusters of ten or more from the beglnning of June

DWARF FRUIT TREES

The Ideal Tree for the Small Garden.

There is probably no class of trees, which the
Horticultural Press has devoted s0 much space
to in recent years, as these famous dwarf pears
and apples. Dwarf trees consist of the regu-
lar standard sorts that have been budded on
dwarf stocks and will inveriably bear finer
fruit. When you consider the fact that a dwarf
tree, one year old, has borne fine Early Williams
apples not two feet from the ground, the whole
tree being about three feet tall, and that trees
four years old will bear a fine crop and measure
about five feet tall by four feet across, you will
readily see that this class of trees isjust the thing
for the small garden. They may be planted as
close as twelve feet apart, it kept trimmed close
in June and August.

DWARF APPLES

I can supply in dwarf apples; any variety
listed on this page, at the following prices: One
year old, 40 cents each; $4.00 per dozen,
postpaid. By express, not prepaid, 2 years
old, 40 cemts each; $4.00 per dozen.

DWARF PEARS

In dwarf pears I can supply the following:
Bartlett, Clapps Favorite, Anjou, Howell and
Seckel. Prices: 1 year old, 35 cts. each; $3.50
per dozen, postpaid. By express, not pre-
paid, 2 years old, 35 cts.each; $3.50 per doz.
