“Maule’s Direct to You”
An idea backed by forty-four years of
successful business, and tested seeds,
has won for Wm. Henry Maule, Ine.
the patronage of hundreds of thousands
of satisfied customers. One year after
another the sound principles upon
which the business was founded have
added other thousands.
This is probably the largest ‘‘direct to
planter’? seed business in the United
States. Asit grew, our knowledge has
grown. Ourcustomers today benefit by
a service that was inno way approached
by what we were able to give in theearly
days. Development has been to the
advantage of ourselves and customers.
The demand of the past few years
that all land be made more productive
has brought us thousands of new cus-
tomers who have won new health, good
food and more beautiful homes from their efforts.

« Maule’s Blood Turnip Beet
The Best of Them All.
Maule’s Blood Turnip beet has given such excellent satisfaction that it still retains its posi-
tion at the head of our list, and for years the amount of catalogue space occupied by illustrations
and devoted to descriptions of this variety, has been unquestionably one of the most profitable in
our Seed Book. We first gave prominent notice to Maule’s Blood Turnip beet in our catalogue
of 1889; the sales then were large, but today, 32 years later, they are ten times greater than ever.
A consistent steady demand from 1 the same people year after year for this variety should be sufficient
endorsement for all gardeners to know that in planting Maule’s Blood Turnip, they are planting
as good a turnip beet as can be found the world over, and a variety that owing to its small top
makes it especially desirable for bunching. Maule’s Blood Turnip beet is very early, nearly as
early as Egyptian, ready for the table in about 50 days. The color is a rich dark red, and
shape is globular. It is free from side or fibrous roots, being always smooth. It is excellent for
forcing for a main spring or summer crop, or for use in winter, as it is a good keeper. It always
cuts and cooks a rich, dark blood red; is tender, sweet and crisp, and is in every way the
standard sort for the market or home gardener. Has made a good crop seven weeks from
sowing. Maule’s Blood Turnip beet has long been regarded as the standard of excellence by]
more than 70,000 successful gardeners, who plant it year after year in preference to any other. |

A Great Money Maker and a Trade Holder for the Market Gardener
This splendid and profitable extra early flat-headed cabbage is the rival of the famous Wakefield.
Produces fine, solid, good sized heads, fit for market 70 to 80 days from sowing the seed.
Maule’s First Early is what is wanted for home or market.
Its shape, habit of growth and general aspect are well shown
in the illustration. It can safely be planted as close as Wake-
field and is a sure header. It excels Wakefield and all other
early cabbages in solidity of head; in fact, the head is as hard
as a stone. It is a choice market sort on account of both
Shape and quality. Itis a beautiful cabbage in appearance,
being handsome in color and general uniformity. No wonder
the buyers of early cabbages select these attractive heads
when displayed on the market stalls. Almost anybody
would pick out one of these solid flat heads in preference to a
round or pointed headed variety.
Many of our customers have cleaned off their entire crop of
Maule’s First Early before they have started to cut Harly

119 Copenhagen
The Best Early Round Headed
Cabbage. Stands Longest
Without Bursting
Copenhagen Market is certainly a valuable
early maturing cabbage, producing round,
hard heads of the finest quality for the table
or market in seventy-five days. It is the most
popular early cabbage in the markets of
Copenhagen, and has become very popular in
America. Market gardeners here who tried
it are strong in its praise on account of
its extreme earliness and solid ten pound
heads, with a small core and always of
excellent quality, making it a good seller.
The plants are short stemmed, producing
heads almost on the ground. The light
green colored leaves are medium in size, saucer
shaped, and are always tightly folded; the
plants may therefore be set closer than most
other early varieties. It isa vigorous grower
and yielder, as are all cabbages from Den-
mark, and an excellent keeper. A most ex-
cellent round headed sort for the home garden,
as wellas for the market gardener whose trade
requires a largesolid head early in the season.
Our stock of Copenhagen Market comes to
us direct from the originator in Copenhagen,
Denmark which we can highly recommend.

127 Glory of Enkhousen
Early, Round, Solid Heads of Superior Merit
This desirable cabbage, Glory of Enkhousen, originated in Holland: in
season it is very early, maturing its heads in 80 days, with heads fre-
quently twice as large, weighing three times as muchas Early Summer.
The large sized, ball shaped heads are very firm and solid, leaves being
fine ribbed and exceedingly tender. Itis a dwarf and compact grower,
allowing close planting; in fact some of its enthusiastic admirers claim
it will yield more tons per acre than any other variety on account ofclose
planting. This is not only a valuable early sort, but it grows so large
that it can be profitably raised for main crop for Fall use. On account of
its quick growth, this cabbage is a most desirable sort for market gar-
deners to set out latein July, after early potatoes or other Spring crops
are harvested. This cabbage is extensively grown and is extremely popu-
lar with the market gardeners generally, and especially with those who

Three Desirable Cabbages
Late
118 Charleston Wakefield
An Improved and Larger Form of Jersey
Wakefield True Type.
The Wakefield, with its pointed heads, held
the leading place among early cabbages for
seyeral decades, out of sheer merit; and it is
still in favor with all market gardeners. It is
so reliable early and so genuinely good that
nothing can wholly supersede it or drive it out
of the markets,
The Charleston Wakefield is an improved and
larger form of Maule’s Prize Wakefield. It re-
quires rather more time to reach maturity, but
it yields fully twice the crop of the original
Wakefield cabbage. It comes along in a close
Succession to the earlist cabbage crop producing
its heads in about 8 days. It is astrain which
cannot be profitably overlooked by any gardener,
wheter it is intended fora private garden or to
be send to market. All the Market gardeners
near the great Eastern cities plant Charleston
Wakefield for early cabbage, and there is no
better early sort. It has a less pointed head
than its ancestor.
Charleston Wakefield is 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.

A Leading Winter Cabbage
126 Maule’s Midsummer
Best of All for Warm Weather
This intermediate sort matures in about 95 days, soon after Early
Summer, producing much larger heads, of unsurpassed beauty and
solidity. It has noteworthy compactness of growth, which permits
close planting. Midsummer is a remarkably sure and uniform header,
and is one of the most profitable market yarieties. Its a truly fine
summer cabbage in all respects, producing from June until October.

Lupton cabbage has some of the best traits of Surehead, with the size
and general shape of Maule’s Prize Flat Dutch, but is seyeral days
earlier than the latter. Its growth is particularly strong and vigorous.
The stem is short, the head is thick and flat, adark bluish green, with
the outer leaves covering it well across the centre. It is very large,
solid, and of the most excellent quality, without any features of coarse-
ness, the yeins and ribs being well developed, but not prominent.
Matures its large solid heads in 110 days.

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

The Latest Cabbage of them AIL
This excellent cabbage is in yery wide
fayor, and thousands of our friends testify
toits value. It is at least two weeks later
than any strain of the Late Flat Dutch
type. In solidity it is almost as hard as
the renowned Danish Ball Head. ‘it is
very compact in habit of growth, the
leaves closely surrounding and overlap-
ping the head. The shape and appear-
ance are shown in the illustration.
In size the Houser cabbage will average
about 12 pounds at maturity, and the

its use for market.
In quality the Houser cabbage equals
the best, being very free from the coarse
ribs found in most late sorts. In fact, we
would say that the Houser cabbage is very
well bred, and in the eareful trials and
comparative tests on our grounds, it has
shown up excellently with all other late
sorts. It is a strong, vigorous grower,
with ability to withstand drought better
than most varieties.
Tts true merit is shown by the demand
for it. It adapts itself to various condi-
tions of soil and climate.
As to its keeping qualities, in winter
storage, we have only to say that it is per-
fect. Indeed, it is because the Houser is
so extremely late, maturing in 130 days,

Danish Ball Head Cabbage produces its crop in about
120 days. Itis sure to head, the heads being round, hard and
extremely heavy, though not extra large. It can be grown
in close quarters, on account, of its compact habit. As to its

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

fine neck and a rather hollow crown.

quite sufficient for early bunching; good for force-
ing under glass or outdoors. It has been the first

It has the power of germination under conditions where all others have failed,
and can safely be planted much earlier than any true sugar corn on account of its
extreme hardiness. It adapts itself to any kind of soil, either sand or heavy clay.
It is as large as Stowell’s Evergreen. Cap fodder grows 6 feet; no smail
item to a gardener; and as a proof of its quality and sweetness, we have a con-
tinuous call for “Ideal” from our customers year after year. In earliness, any

‘The Fi inest Large Eared Sugar Corn in Existence
aN
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
Maule’s Colossal has three principal points that especially recommend it:
First—Earliness. It has matured a crop in 60 to 65 days under extraordinary
circumstances, but can generally be depended upon to produce ears of marketable
size within 70 days.
Second—Flavor. Itis the most delicious sugary corn you have ever eaten.
Third—Size. It is undoubtedly the largest eared early sugar corn in existence,
as the ears average from 7 to 9 inches in length, and
frequently 24 to 3 inches in diameter, with 12 to 14 rows
of large sweet kernels that fairly melt in your mouth.
Two or three ears are generally found on every stalk;

Plant the Davis Perfect, and you will raise cucumbers in the open ground that will

The Davis Perfect has 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 dark
green color of all cucumbers. Ready to pull in 55 days.
Second. It is a type of the most perfect size; just what is
wanted either for the table or market.
Third. Eating qualities surpass any other cucumber.
Fourth. It is almost seedless one-third of its length from

Spicy Green Flesh. Small Seed Cavity. A Prodigious Cropper. A Melon of Distinguished Pedigree. High Bred at Every Point. |
(Green flesh.) A paragon of merit—in size, shape, netting, appearance, aroma, flavor, depth of flesh, smallness of seed
cavity, cropping ability and shipping quality. It is by far the finest, most delicious muskmelon ever grown. |
Maule’s Model is an early large melon, maturing its crop of fine, luscious, green flesh melons in 70 days. It is larger
than Rocky Ford, the average weight being somewhat above two pounds. It has an ideal shape for a fashionable market.
The interior seed cavity is small, and of triangular or prismatic shape, the seeds being few. ik
As a tablemelon Maule’s Model cannot besurpassed. In delicacy and quality of flavor it is unexcelled by any variety
in our list. The flesh is deep and firm, extending from the rind almost to centre of the melon. Rich and highly flavored. |
Maule’s Model bears transportation well, and can be carried to distant cities without injury, where it will bring
the highest prices. The right size for hotel or table use. One of the best for home or market gardeners.

4s Prosperity or Gradus os
The Earliest, Largest Podded, Wrinkled Pea
Prosperity or Gradus is a wrinkled pea, with vine growing about 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 condition for 4 number of days. The pods
are of a dark 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 themselves are of first-class table quality, and retain their color and
attractive appearance after cooking. The peas are round and plump, maturing
in 62days. It isentirely adapted to the purposes of the market gardener, and
does equally as well in the home garden.

The Rival of the Famous Prosperity or Gradus, with Giant Pods
It grows like Gradus. about3 feet high. The wrinkled peas are very large of fine,
deepgreencolor. he pods are large, long, withsquare ends and finecolor. Many
market gardeners have planted the Thomas Laxton in preference to Gradus, to
their entire satisfaction. Our opinion of Thomas Laxton is that itis as early as
Gradus, maturing in 52 days; at thesame time itis, ifanything, more productive;
peas are fully as large, of aricher green color. Planted side by side, it is frequently
a bard matter to tell which is the better of the two varieties.

Extra Early Varieties
Maule’s Tomatoes Ready for Use in 80 to 85 Days
Every garden should have an early as well as a main or general crop of tomatoes. Either for market or home use, the idea of growing
early tomatoes is to get them as soon as possible and follow up with the main crop, which may be used in many ways and are especially desirable
for canning. Do not plant in over-rich soil as it will cause an over-grewth of foliage and few fruits. :
CULTURE.—Sow the seed in February or March in a hotbed, greenhouse or in Shailow boxes in the house in rows 4 to 6 inches apart and half
an inch deep. When the plants are about 2 inches high transplant to 38-inch pots or into shallow boxes 4 inches apart each way. Transplant
in the open ground after all danger of frost is past,3 to 4feet apart each way. Cultivate frequently. A packet will produce about 100 plants,
an ounce about 3,500 plants, enough foranacre. Neponset paper pots, offered on page 175, are ideal for starting tomatoes.

Enormous
The Largest Red
The Sweetest of All
(Deep red.) Maule’s
Enormous tomato, bred
by Mr. Miesse, was first
introduced to the public
by us under the name
“Bight 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 comparative 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-

302 Droughtproof
Yellow Dent
Resists Drought and Scorching Heat
Better Than Any Other Variety
Droughtproof Yellow Dent pro-
duces handsome ears of good size
and symmetrical shape with the
largest grains and the smallest
cob of any Yellow Dent Corn.
In fact, from 70 pounds of corn
on the ear, 64 pounds of shelled
corn and only 6 pounds of cobs
were obtained, which cannot be
equalled by any other corn in
existence. Grains are deep wedge
shaped and of the brightest color.
Fully as early as Leaming. Yield
not excelled by any other sort.
We do not hesitate to say that,
all points considered—its beauti-
ful color, longyellow grains, large
ears—taking all points combined
it is the finest yellow corn ever
introduced, and each customer
who gives it atrial will be fully
convinced that it is the best 90
to 100 day corn he ever planted.

807 Johnson County
White Dent

18 to 24 rowsonacob. The ears
will average about 10 inches in
length and from 73 to 8 inches in
circumference. Thereis very little
space between the rows and this
variety yields a very high per-
centage of shelled corn. Thestalk
is good and thrifty, ranging in
height from 10 to 12 feet. Ma-
tures in about 110 days.

a9 Maule’s Improved Mastedon
The Earliest of all the Large Eared Yellow Dent Varieties
Has a Record of 213 Bushels of Shelled Corn to the Acre
It is the largest eared, extra early yellow dent corn; the ears measuring
9 to 12 inches in length, and from 73 to 8 inches in circumference, with
16 to 22 rows of grains, and averaging at husking time nearly one pound
each. Outyields any other variety ripening at the same time.
It makes a rapid, strong and rank growth, attaining a height of 9 to 10
feet, often producing 2 to3 large ears toastalk. The foliage is large,
making fine fodder and is one of the best varieties for that purpose.
We consider Improved Mastodon the variety to plant where an extra
early, large eared corn is wanted that will mature in 95 to 100 days under
favorable growing conditions. It
makes fine looking shelled corn,
showing two shades, a golden
yellow with a white cap.
There has been a brisk demand
for this corn for years past, and
our supply has not infrequently
been completely exhausted early
in the season. We regret to be-
lieve that unscrupulous dealers.
have sold a great deal of inferior
or impure seed for Mastodon. Our
suggestion is, therefore, that pur-
chases be made only from re-
liable neighbors who have raised
the stock or that orders be set di-
rect to us at 21st and Arch Streets,
Philadelphia, for the true seed.

Maule’s Three Permanent Pasture Mixtures :
Best Adapted for Producing an Abundant Hay Crop or for Pasturage
It is true beyond all question that a mixture of grasses produces a
better mowing field and subsequent permanent pasture than a mere
combination of timothy and red clover. The former will last five times
as long as the latter. Timothy “runs out’’ in a couple of years or so,
while a good permanent pasture will last ten or even twenty years.
This has been frequently and forcibly shown by experience. Our com-
pleted mixtures are sold in two parts, one containing grass seeds and
the other clover seeds, to be sown separately, on account of their differ-
ent weights. The grass seeds may be sown in spring or fall; the clover
seeds preferably in the spring. In preparing the permanent pasture
grass inixtures we employ mainly Kentucky Blue, Timothy, English
Rye, Italian Rye, Red Top or Herd, Orchard, Tall Meadow, Meadow
Foxtail, Meadow Fescue, Rough Stalk Meadow, Canadian Blue, Bromus
Inermis or Awnless Brome, Crested Dog Tail, etc.
In the clover mixture we employ Red, Mammoth, Alsike and W bite.
A few of these components will disappear in two or three years, but the
others are absolutely permanent. We vary the proportions to suit the
different soils.

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

Well Kept and Properly Arranged
Hardy Peremnials. Seeds may be sown in early spring, or during
July and August to produce plants that will flower the next season,
and continue to bloom each succeeding year. Seed of some hardy
perennials if sown very early will produce plants that will bloom the
same season. It is unnecessary to give protection to these plants
during the winter, but it will prove beneficial to the plants if a
covering of leaves, litter or strawy manure is provided. A hardy bed
or border, when once established, requires practically no attention and
will, if varieties have been properly selected and arranged, provide an
abundance of flowers from early spring until frost.
Half Hardy Perennials. Sowseed as you would the half hardy
annuals. If plants are set out in the open ground they must be
lifted before frost, potted up and taken in the house during the

Maule’s Giant Pansies 2essa2.
OR many years, in fact ever since we have been in business, we have given particular attention to pansy seeds, until
F we really think our strains of pansies are as good as can be found anywhere in the world. Pansies demand good soil,
thriving best in a cool, moist but well drained position. Do not plant pansies in the shade of a tree or building as this
causes straggly plants with very few blooms. Seeds sown in April or May will produce blooming plants the last of
June, which will continue flowering until the end of the season. For early spring blooming, sow seeds in August and give
plants protection during the winter. We really think that the results obtained from our pansy seeds have been so remarkable
that this is one reason why the demand for this beautiful and popular flower increases with us so much every year.

i} These new pansies are of great value, owing to the extreme hardiness of the plants and their extraordinarily early blooming time, producing
eir flowers 4 to 6 weeks earlier than any other variety of pansies. Full grown plants will winter over in the open ground with but a slight pro-

Maule’s Flowerin:
Bulbs, Roots, Etc.
Everyone succeeds in growing plants from bulbs or roots. With but little care, excellent results may be obtained. After flowering, many
bulbs, if given a period of rest, may be re-planted, when the previous year’s display will be repeated. This of course applies to varieties
that are not hardy. The hardy roots of phlox, iris, ponies, etc., when once planted will live out-doors for years without being disturbed.
A good supply of bulbs or roots may be obtained at a yery moderate cost, for the first cost is practically the only expense.
Important. Your attention is called to the fact that all orders for bulbs, roots, ete., are shipped on receipt. Should you wish us to re-
serve the bulbs for future shipment, your instructions to that effect must be clearly specified at time ofordering. This
applies especially to bulbs ordered during the winter months. We pack bulbs as carefully as possible and guarantee their safe arrival in good
condition. With every order for bulbs a copy of our little pamphlet ‘‘Bulb Culture” will be enclosed. It contains many helpful suggestions. ~

Maule’s Large Flowering Cannas
For bedding purposes, cannas stand at the head of the list. No more satisfactory plant could be found; they succeed in all parts of the
country, in any kind of soil, but will, of course, do better in rich soil, well prepared. In recent years, cannas haye been greatly improved. The
old ‘Indian Shot Plant” was grown principally for its massive foliage; the flowers were insignificant. The newer types have flowers six to eight
inches across, in great clusters of varied and rich colors, borne continuously allsummer. We list the most distinct and desirable varieties
recently introduced. Our cannas are grown on our farm at Newfield, N. J., and we send out dormant roots in strong divisions from these field-
grown clumps. The height given for each canna varies with climate and care.

the ground on the order of a cultivator or garden plow, lifting and pul-
verizing the soil, loosening and rendering friable, subserving moisture,
so essential to the rapid growth of plants. The Magic Weeder Hoe is
