NEW CORY SWEET CORN.
There is no question but that the Cory is the earliest of all sweet
orns by from 5 to 10 days. Originated by Mr. Cory, of Rhode Island,
e has been able to supply for many years the first sweet corn to the
rovidenee, Newport, and Fall River Markets. It is not only much ear-
/r than the Marblehead, but produces much finer, larger, and sweeter
©'s than this well known extra early. It is very dwarf in growth, pro-
Sacing almost invariably two ears to the stalk. Ears have been fit
vr boiling 52 days after planting. Two crops can readily be grown on the
ame ground in asingle season. A large grower of vegetables near New-
vort, R. L, from about 6 acres, marketed July 7, 7000 dozen ears at 35 cents,
.nd by July 1th, 15,000 dozen ears at 30 cts., while Marblehead, not ready
itil 7 or 8 days later, brought only 20 cts.a dozen. Demand was so
reat last season as to soon exhaust my supply, and every customer so far
ieard from pronounced their Cory Corn purchase one of the most
vrofitable they ever made. Anticipating a very large demand the
soming season, I have grown a big crop; but to be on the safe side, would
advise early orders. If you have never planted the Cory, you do not
want to miss doing so in 1887. Pkt., 15 cts.; pint, 35 cts.; quart, 5 Cts.
MAULE’S IMPROVED DUTCH RUNNER.
I thought well of Improved Dutch Runner last year, but had no idea
it would surpass my own high expectations; but it did. For an early
shelled bean it has had no equal, while the green pods picked while
young have been praised by all as snap shorts. This new bean is with-
out a doubt FAR THE MOST PRODUCTIVE POLE BEAN IN
CULTIVATION. The illustration on opposite page gives but a faint
idea of the immense yield. I have never seen anything that could begin
to equal them, and all planting Dutch Runner this season, I am sure will
agree with me. They are also wonderfully early;in fact, among the
very earliest pole beams grown. Pods are very large and handsome,
almost equal to the Large Lima. In flavor they are wonderfully supe-
rior, and cooked green in summer, I guarantee you will find them
ahead of any succotash you ever made. They continue in bearing
from July right up to frost,and in winter or summer used as shelled
beans, I think they equal the finest Lima. Remember, in all the quali-
ties that go to make a good pole bean, Maule’s Dutch Runners LEAD
ALL. It is unquestionably the earliest and most productive of all pole
beans. Do not forget to include it in your order. PEt., 20 c.; pint, 75 c.
AM DETERMINED TO PUSH MAULE’S SEEDS: FOR THE COMING
SEASON OF 1887 FROM THE WORD GO. My first efforts have been made
in giving my friends this catalogue, which, enlarged and improved over every pre-
vious issue, has, I flatter myself, MORE ORIGINALITY AND COMMON SENSE
COMBINED IN IT TO THE SQUARE INCH, THAN MANY OTHERS YOU WILL
RECEIVE THIS WINTER WILL HAVE TO THE PAGE.
= Only ten years, but in that ten years these
1877 1887. United States have made greater strides to-
_wards permanent prosperity than in any other ten years in the history os this great
country. To me personally, these ten years have been a period of hard but suc-
cessful work, and when I look back and see what has been accomplished in the
way of making Maule’s Seeds well and widely-known, I cannot help but congratu-
late myself and, ABOVE ALL, THANK MY MANY THOUSAND FRIENDS FOR THEIR
KIND EFFORTS IN MY BEHALF. Ten years ago Maule’s Seeds were unknown.
To-day there is hardly a county in the United States where they are not considered
THE BEST OF ALL. Ten years ago hard work to get rid of 10,000 catalogues
in an entire season, while from December 15th, 1886, to February 15th, 1887, I ex-
peet to send through Uncle Sam’s mail bags 300,000 COPIES OF THIS CATALOGUE
OF MAULE’S SEEDS. Ten years ago 100 orders a week was not considered bad,
while last season OVER 1100 ORDERS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED FN A SINGLE DAY.
Now suppose we come down to plain matter of fact, and let me ask each one
who reads these few lines COULD SUCH A RESULT BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH
POOR SEEDS? Will not every one say no? Then let me ask any one who has
never sown Maule’s Seeds, who receives this catalogue, why not send me an
order this coming season of 1887. I know it will be in your interest to do so, and
T hope you will, even if you are entirely satisfied with where you have been deal-
ing, send me an order, anyway. Test Maule’s Seeds alongside of what you have
been planting. If you do, I am certain to receive your entire order another year.
This has been the experience of thousands of others. Why should it not be yours ?
~ It forms a very
Don’t expect, however, to buy Maule’s Seeds at low prices. MAULE’S ARE NOT
CHEAP SEEDS, and prices asked for them are among the highest in the trade. WHEN YOU HARVEST YOUR CROPS, HOWEVER, YOU WILL FIND
THEM THE CHEAPEST SEEDS YOU HAVE EVER BOUGHT. [I trust, not a single person receiving this catalogue will fail to plant at least a few of
Maule’s Seeds in 1887; a year that promises to surpass any other we have had for a long time in general prosperity, and a year in which I hope to
double any previous record made in my own business. With best wishes to all, I remain yours to command.

MAULE’S BLOOD TURNIP BEET.
The Blood Turnip beet is Known the world over as a most desirable
variety, and there are any number of strains, good, bad, and in-
different. Having grown what I consider the most desirable and care-
fully-selected of all these various stocks, I have for several years been
supplying it to thousands of my customers, to their entire satisfac-
tion. It is nearly as early as the Egyptian, but surpasses the latter
variety in flavor. Colora rich, dark-red; roots fine-grained, globular-
shaped, with small top. Free from side or fibrous roots, and is always
remarkably smooth. Excellent for forcing, and moreover, it is a very
superior keeper, thus making it also desirable for winter use. Cooks
sweet, tender, and crisp, and in every way may be considered the stand-
ard sort for the market and home gardener. Has made a good ae
seven weeks from sowing. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 14 1b., 30 cts.; 1b., $1.00.
MAULE’S IMPROVED HANSON LETTUCE.
~ I have no hesitancy in saying that its superior does not exist.
These may appear to be strong words to use, but I think every customer
this season planting this strain ofg Hanson Lettuce will willingly
acknowledge the above to be correct. The branching Jeaves are of a
beautiful green color, slightly curled, while the inner leaves, which form
the head, present a white appearance, and are as tender as if blanched.
head, at times attaining a weightof3 lbs. each and
over. When eaten, it has a rich, nutty flavor, and is almost absolutely
free from any strong or bitter taste. It resists wonderfully well sum-
mer heat and drought, and is in every way the sort for the market or
family gardener. NO PRAISE IS TOO HIGH FOR ITS MERITS.
Last season I offered $25.00 as a cash prize for heaviest head of Maule’s
Improved Hanson Lettuce raised last summer. Reports received were
simply astonishing; 4 and 5 Sera heads were raised by the score. The
$25.00 were secured by Mr. W. P. Mast, Fairview, Oregon, with a head
weighing 9614 ounces. This seems almost beyond belief, and I doubt if a
heavier head of any variety was everraised. This stamps Improved
Hanson as not only the finest of all, but also the largest of all.
It is with much regret I have to announce that one of my crops was an
utter failure the past summer, so that for 1887 I can offer my Improved
Hanson in small quantities only. PkKt., 15 cts.; oz., # cts.

STARN’S FAVORITE MARKET MUSKMELON. -
In our travels the past summer we discovered an extra fine musk
melon in the hands of a very careful and successful melon grower in
South Jersey. On inquiry I found that he had none of the seed for sale,
another Philadelphia house having secured his entire crop with the in-.
tention of offering it as a leading novelty for 1887. In the course of the
conversation we found the above-named grower had procured his seed
last season from Bridgeton, N. J. Mr. Chas. F. Dare, who has a drug
store there, having advertised it last season under the name of the
“Bridgeton Favorite.’”’ As the melon promised to be a good thing, and
just the sort to please all market growers, I looked further into the mat-
ter, and discovered that Mr. E. W. Starn, of Fairton, N. J., one of my
customers, was the originator, and that as all who had seen the melon
gro on his farm had desired to purchase seed, he had furnished
the above-named Mr. Dare with seed to meet these numerous demands
from his neighbors. As Mr. Starn’s melon promises, without a doubt, to
be the best selling and shipping musk melon in the market, I at
once secured his entire crop. fewer offerait for the first time as Starn’s
Favorite Market Melon, certain that it will meet the views of all melon
raisers as the most desirable market variety in cultivation at the present
time. Mr. Starn discovered in a five-acre field of Nutmeg melons a
number of years ago one hill entirely distinct from anything else in the
patch. From this one hill he saved every seed, and the next season, by
planting sparingly, he had one acre of as fine melons as were ever
grown in South Jersey, all true to type. He has grown them, to the
exclusion of other varieties, ever since, annually planting from 10 to 15
acres, and they have always sold at good prices the entire season, and
many times at two and three times the price of other sorts. They
are nearly round, just a little oblong, very thickly netted, with very
thick, green flesh ; very rich and spicy, and one of the very best-flavored
in cultivation. They are very shy seeders, the cavity for seed in many
of them is so small that if they were all seed inside the flesh, they could
not contain many. They are very attractive in appearance, and a good
Shipper. Mr. Starn has never had a grower see or taste them but
wanted some of the seed. In addition to their attractive appearance
and most excellent shipping qualities, they are also an enormous crop-
per, and will be pronounced bea AuyeRt them as certainly a favor-
ite and most profitable ahs, WES er the direct headquarters

appears to have become the fashion in the seed trade for the
E I different firms to illustrate their seed warehouses, and as I have
about as nice a store as can be found in Philadelphia, I thought,
this year, I would show my customers where the orders they send for
Maule’s Seeds are filled. I believe when one has a good thing it does no
harm to let people know it. NowI have no doubt some people will
remark, on reading this, ‘‘ Well, I think Maule’s pretty good at blowing
his own horn.” I admit it, but I argue I have many things to be proud
of. I have determined this year to give some solid, substantial facts in
regard to the wonderful popularity of Maule’s Seeds. Few of my
customers, as well as few other seedsmen, have any idea of the immense
business annually done in them. First and foremost—my new store
is undoubtedly the handsomest Seed Warehouse in America, and what
is more, it is the most completely arranged for conducting a mail and
express seed order business. Cut on opposite page will give some idea
of its mammoth proportions. Is not such a store, erected from cellar to
top story, especially for conducting the business annually done in
Maule’s Seeds, something to be proud oft Butthis is not all, there
are many other SOLID FACTS,
among which I might mention that 200,000 copies of Maule’s Seed Cata-
logue for 1886 were mailed in less than six weeks; that as high as 1177
orders for Maule’s Seeds have been received in a single day; that I have
cashed in one day atthe Philadelphia Post-office as high as $3,661.45 in
money orders and postal notes; that extra seeds to the value of $5512
were presented free for trial to my customers in the spring of 1886; that 1
distributed in cash prizes among my customers last year $950. These few
ACTUAL FACTS AND FIGURES
are merely given to let one and all who read this Catalogue have some
idea of the popularity of Maule’s Seeds, and before closing, I would
add, after giving you the above statements, am I not excused if I
am proud of this success? a success accomplished in ten years’ time,
that many have tried a life-time to secure. The secret of this success
is wholly in the umsurpassed quality of Maule’s Seeds and my
prompt and honorable dealings with every customer who fayors
me with an order, if for a single packet or for hundreds of dollars.

m Ifmy customers keep on raising such mammoth vegetables, the above
2 exaggerated illustration may not seem so improbable a way after all, a
few years from now, of handling the product of Maule’s Seeds. What,
with 24814 pound pumpkins, 128 pound watermelons, 50 to 60 pound ecab-
“bages, etc., there seems to be no limit to the mammoth proportions that
Maule’s vegetables can be grown.
Below will be found a list of prize vegetable growers for 1886. In many
eases vegetables weresent tome and weighed at mystore. When this
was not done, a statement, signed and sworn to by two reliable witnesses,
was required. These sworn statements were carefully examined and
proved correct, so that Iam satisfied the money has been paid to the
proper persons. Every fall I am in receipt of false affidavits, but they are
soon discovered and thrown out. Let all enter the competition for 1887

This I most positively deny. I do not know asingle one of the prize

EVERGREEN WHITE SPINE CUCUMBER,
When traveling in New England last summer my attention was at-
tracted to this choice new cucumber. It differs from the Early White
Spine in retaining a deep green color in all stages of growth. It grows
very long; is very productive and matures early. Its handsome appear
ance and desirable color will make it a great favorite with all growers,
either for pickling, or market and table use. Pkt., 10 cts.: oz., 25 ets.

pod containing five beans. Beans are|||

This variety originated in Bucks|||iff

too highly. It is simply the perfection of the
muskmelon family, equally desirable and profit-
able to the planter of a dozen hills or the planter |
of tens of thousands. It is a new variety in so far |
as age is concerned, as I only introduced it for
the first time in 1884; but it is no untried novelty,
from the fact that in the last three years it has |
been planted by thousands of melon growers in
all sections of the country more largely than any
other variety I have ever listed. What is better,
it has given one and all entire satisfaction. I
really believe that I can show at my office double
or even three times the number of testimonials
in regard to the good qualities of Perfection than
have been written concerning any other variety
of muskmelon ever introduced.
Originated five years ago in Chenango Co., N.Y.,
by one of my best customers, I secured a small
sample of seed from him in 1883. In sending it to
mel could not help but think he praised it too
highly, stating as he did, that he had tested al-|
most all known varieties and found Perfection
superior to them all. After a careful test on
my trial grounds, I discovered it was fully up to}
his recommendation, and indeed, a wonderful |
acquisition.
room for the seeds. As to flavor, they take the
lead of all, and are far ahead of everything else
at present cultivated. It cam be recommended
alike for either home or market use, and has
fully demonstrated that it is simply the PER-
FECTION OF MUSKMELONS. It surpasses
all others in delicious flavor and unusual
productiveness, beauty of form and desirable
shipping qualities; in fact, it can’t be beat.
Nothing is so delicious as a really good musk-
melon. I look foralarge demand for this, the
sweetest and most delicious of all, the coming
season, even larger than last year, from the
fact that owing to large crops I am able to reduce
the price very considerably. Pkt., 15 cts.; 0z.,

Before me, L. A. Sirmans, a Justice of the Peace in and for the said
county, personally came John G. Miller, who, on oath, says that, from
watermelon seed of the Ironclad variety, bought of Wm. Henry Maule,
1711 Filbert Street, Philadelphia, he grew on his farm, near the town of
Stone Mountain, in said county, a watermelon that weighed one
hundred and twenty -eight pounds (128), and that Rev. M. L. Underwood
and Nathan Lankford were present and saw said watermelon weighed.

you must plant MAULE’S FIRST OF ALL.
Cut given above illustrates an actual fact.
All varieties were planted the same day,
and MAULE’S FIRST OF ALL was ready
to pull A WEEK AHEAD of the others.
AM GLAD to be able to offer to my customers
among the many good things given in this cat-
alogue, a bean that should be wanted on every
order sent me this Spring. MAULE’S FIRST
OF ALL is one of the most beautiful beans in
cultivation, of a dwarf, distinct habit, only grow-
ing about 12 to 14 inches high. It surpasses every
other variety of its class in productiveness, as
many as one hundred and one pods having
been counted on a Single vine, and it has
often been remarked, when showing one of
my trial rows to friends, that the vines appear
all pods and no leaves, the vines in every case
having more pods than leaves. It is a rank
grower, does not appear to be affected by drought,
while pods are long, handsome, of a beautiful
green color. Very snappy and of excellent qual-
ity if pulled when young, but I regret to say that
if allowed to ripen they are tough. We can’t ex-
pect perfection in everything, and this is Earliest
of All’s weak point. They are wonderfully even
in habit of growth, and remarkably true to name.
One of the largest bean growers in the country
informed me the past season that, they were the
truest and most thoroughbred bean he ever
planted. But the above points, though very de-
sirable, are entirely overshadowed by the
most important fact that it is absolutely the
earliest bean in cultivation. Tested alongside
of all other extra early sorts with ordinary cul-
ture and an unfavorable season, it ripened in 41
days from time of planting, which was over a
week ahead of any other, and over two weeks
ahead of Improved Valentine. In northern New
York, in both 1884 and also in 1885, tested along-
side of hundreds of other varieties from every-
where, it proved the earliest of all.
Last season I offered a cash prize of $25 to be
awarded to the customer selling the largest num-
ber of packets of Maule’s First of All Beans. Mr.
Charles E. Lord, of Chester, Conn., secured the
prize with a club order for 195 packets. Pkt., 15

that I ever planted. I had one vine that had 56 pods.”
Geo. W. Vickers, Huntingdon, Tenn.: ‘‘ Maule’s Earli-

others, and equally as good.”

beans I have under test, your First of All were the first
to appear above ground and the first to blossom. All

NEW GIANT PERA CUCUMBER
This is claimed to be the finest cucumber
for table use ever introduced. I think I can
safely recommend it as the largest and best
Long Green Cucumber in cultivation.
Vines are strong growers. Cucumbers start-
ing to set early; very close together near the
hill,somuchso that it is one of, ifnot the most
productive long cucumber at present known.
“The cueumbers uniformly grow very
smooth and straight, the skin is a beautiful
green, perfectly smooth, free from spines, and
retains its clear green color until nearly ripe,
when the skin becomes of a leathery-brown
color. They are very thick through, and per-
fectly round. They are fit to eat at any stage;
flesh is entirely white, very clear, peculiarly crisp,
tender and brittle, with very few seeds and free
from the obnoxious ‘ green cucumber taste.’
The seed cavity is remarkably small, and the
seeds are so slow to form, that even large

THE EXCELSIOR POP CORN.

The above illustration of this new black pop corn represents a natural
sized ear of this remarkable variety. On the left will also be noticed cut
ofa grain before and after popping, from which my customers can readily
see its wonderful popping qualities. For great productiveness, and general
desirability it is ahead of anything in the Pop Corn line. It will produce
frequently as high as four to six ears to the stalk, and will attract atten-
tion Anywhere on account of its large ears, superior shape of grain and
remarkable tenderness when popped. It grows about 5 feet high, ripens
early, and is very easily cured, If you want extra choice Pop Corn next
winter, you must plant the Excelsior. Supply limited to only a few
bushels, so that I can offer It by the package only. Pkt., 25 cts.

BANANA
AN
At first Banana Melon was cultivated more as a
curiosity than anything else, but the last three
seasons has seen them bring such high prices, 50
cents to $1.00 a piece in the Philadelphia, New
York and Boston markets, that they are certain,
in the future, to prove A MOST PROFITABLE
MARKET CROP. They must not be con-
founded with the old Log of Wood, as they are
entirely distinct and resemble no other melon.
They attain a length of from eighteen inches to
three feet three inches, and are from two to four
inches thick. Flesh, yery thick, of a salmon
color; in flavor, simply remarkably delicious, and
equal to almost any melon you have ever eaten.
It looks almost like an over-grown banana, and,

I must insist on every reader of this sending for
a packet of Banana Melon this season; if you do
not, I am sure you will regret it. IT IS NOT
ONLY A CURIOSITY, BUT IN FLAVOR IS
UNQUESTIONABLY FINE.
Seldom has one variety of seed excited more
favorable commentthan my Banana Musk Melon
last season. In competition for the premium,
many remarkably fine specimens were raised,
Mr. C. Rafalee, Dundee, N. Y., finally securing
the premium with a melon 38 inches long. I
again offer

As a Summer Squash, the equal of the Bush

other variety for making pies or custards, which
in flavor remarkably resemble Cocoanut. Can
also be sliced and fried same as Egg Plant, and
fully equals this desirable vegetable. Asa Win-
ter variety, it keeps wonderfully till late in the
Spring, and I have seen them kept in perfect

productive variety in
cultivation. Yields as
high as 250 pods and
over tothe vine. Last
season in competition
for the $25 prize, one
plant, raised by John
Parks, New Madison,
Ohio, was found to con-
tain the enormous
amount of 497 pods. This
seems almost impossi-
ble, and shows that my
Improved Tree Bean will
out yield all others. Ona
small plot they have
yielded at the rate of 116
bushels per acre, and 60
bushels is no uncom-
mon yield. It is very
white, resembling the
Navy Bean, but cooks in

ter flavor. Plant in rows
214 feet apart and 20 in-

$100 IN 1883. = $500 IN 1887.
In_ 1883 I first offered Cash Prizes for largest club orders for packets and ounces of Garden and Flower Seeds. I have continued it ever
since. Last July, in accordance with my proposition on second cover page of my 1886 catalogue, I distributed $400 among my customers
for the 55 largest clubs sent me last season. Knowing that all my friends are interested in seeing who secured these prizes, I give below
the names and post office addresses of the successful club-raisers. I do not believe in offering premiums and then never letting any one
know who secured them. It is not my way of doing business.

profitable Lima you haye ever grown. Pods are produced in large clusters,
after the Extra Early Lima, The vines continue in bearing right up to frost.

only one fault, and that is that
the vines do not take the pole
uite as readily as the Lazy

it is earlier than either, and

you want to surprise your friends with the largest cabbage ever

don’t you forget it. Under high culture it has reached an average
weight of thirty pounds per head, and in size equals a two-bushel
basket, heads sometimes weighing as high as 50 to 60 Ibs.each. The
quality, however, is not coarse, but on the contrary, delicate and the
fiavor fine. It is well adapted to our Southern States, and is considered
one of the most desirable varieties of late cabbages for the warmer lati-
tudes. My choice American grown stock cannot be surpassed.
Packet, 10 cents ; ounce, 30 cents ; quarter pound, $1.00; pound, $3.00.
CAULIFLOWERS.—MAULE’S PRIZE EXTRA EARLIEST.
I believe this cau-
liflower will surpass
in earliness the
Snowball and every
other early cauli-
flower at_ present
Known. Whether
for forcing or the
open ground, plant-
ed early or late, it
will be found the
most profitable and
surest header of
all. Very dwarfand
compact in growth.
Like the Snowball, it
can be planted very
close (18 inches apart
each way), and is par-
ticularly desirable
for torcing under
glass. Price is high,
and packets at 50
cents each, are very
small, but I believe
a dollar invested
in Maule’s Prize
will pay as well as
$2.00 in any other
variety. Packet,
50 cents; three pack-
a J ets, $1.00.
$2 5 00 Still another premium, and that is for the heaviest
e head of Maule’s Prize Cauliflower raised next sum-
mer. All reports to reach me before October Ist, when premium
will be paid. I have never before offered a cauliflower prize. Let
every raiser of good cauliflower try for it.
EARLY SNOW BALL.—Sown
year after year at same time and un-

bogus seed offered at low prices.

EARLY GENESEE.—Early Genesee combines not only earliness,
but large size and superior quality. It is one of the best ofall ear-
lies. It is not so early as Marblehead, butit is only alittle later, and ears
are much larger, and those who have planted it find it makes thema

AMBER CREAM. pr
I had a very high opinion
of AmberCream when I first
brought it before the no-
tice of the American public,
and I must say this opinion
is both confirmed and
strengthened by those
who have grown it. A
customer says: ‘*The Am-
ber Cream is the best and
sweetest I haveever eaten.”
One of my customers in
Indiana writes: ‘Amber
Cream Sweet Corn cannot
be beaten as a second crop.
My customers said that it
was the best Sweet Corn
that I brought to market.
It has taken the first pre-
mium at the Agricultural
Fair, where there were
twenty different kinds of
corn.” Stalks are strong
and vigorous; ears from
twelve to sixteen rowed;
color, when fit for table,
white and handsome, and
of very superior, tender,
and sugary quality. For

Peerless has produced.”

very highly here. We never had better.’ ‘
LETTUCE.
NEW PERPETUAL.—It does not
form solid heads, but large compact
bushes. Leaves are of a bright buttery-
yellow color, very tender, slightly oily to
the touch, It, above all, possesses the re-
markable quality of frequently, from one
sowing, producing suflicient lettuce for
an entire season, remaining as it does fit
for use so long before running to seed,
hence its name Perpetual, It is also very
early and a good forcer. Sown
in April, it has been ready to
cut by middle of May. It is par-
ticularly adapted to the South,
as it withstands hot as well as
cool weather. Especially re-
commended for the family
garden. Pkt., 10 cts.; 02Z., %

ALGIER’S CANTALOUPE.—In France this is thought to be the best
of all, and at avery high price I have succeeded in obtaining some of the
seed. It is asecond early, growing only two melons toa vine. Shape

most excellent. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 40 cts.

SCALY BARK.
This melon was first
brought prominently
before the public at
the Atlanta Exhib-
ition in 1881 One
peculiarity it has
especially, and it isa
very important one,
namely: It remains
in good eating con-
dition from 10 to 15
days after being
pulled. This makes
it most valuable to
shippers, as in addi-

large as the ordinary citron. Flesh is very firm and solid.

J. W. Montgomery, Holly Grove, Ark.: ‘‘I have concluded to use
no other seed but yours. I raised an Iron Clad Watermelon which
weighed 10744 pounds. Never was better pleased in my life.”
Wm. O. Swanson, Red Wing, Minn.: ‘*The Mammoth Iron Clad |

The crop of new seed is a very short one, far less than for a number of years, hence | have been compelled to
advance my prices for 1887 very considerably over those of 1886. Still, I am satisfied that my seed is well worth
the figures quoted. My Onion Seed has always been well and widely known for purity and reliability. There is
no other vegetable in which there has been, of late, so much adulteration, nor of which there is so much worthless
seed annually placed upon the market. I have always appreciated the fact that from good seed only can
good vegetables be grown, and I feel fully warranted in stating that my seed of the different varieties given
in this catalogue has no superior anywhere.

unequaled in productiveness. They have a robust

immensely productive. They are, indeed, such
heavy croppers that I know of no peas from which
so large a bulk of produce can be obtained from a
given space; indeed no such varieties exist. The
pods are so large in size and handsome in appear-
ance that they take high rank for exhibition pur-
poses, and the peas, when on the table, are of so
splendid a quality that it would be difficult to

The last two years have been, by far, the most prosperous I have
ever had, and the larger business I do, just so much the more liber-
ally am I able to treat my customers, so that all become interested
in making MAULE’s SEEDS more widely known eyery year.
Last season, in addition to distributing $1000 in cash prizes among
my customers, I also presented them for trial 53,965 EXTRA PACK-
ETS OF THE CHOICEST SEEDS, worth $5512. This made $6512 in 1886.
The season of 1887 I have started the ball rolling with $1500 in cash
prizes for premium vegetables, ete., a larger amount than ever
before offered by any seedsman in America, and I propose, in the
way of extra packets, to deal more liberally than ever before. In
other words my customers may, in addition to the above $1500, ex-
pect at least $8500 in EXTRA PACKETS OF CHOICE SEEDS for trial
during the coming season of 1887, over and above the amount of their
orders. Hundreds of new customers last year wrote me I was the
most liberal of any seedsman they ever dealt with. I want to retain
this reputation sure.

This cut is an exact illustration of my trial
gardens. They are used each year in testing
all the standard vegetables, as well as many
novelties sent me for trial from all parts of
the world. They are under my own special
supervision at all times, and I flatter myself I
know just exactly what I send out, and thus
am able to state so positively that MAULE's

thetdare et Should you receive any
ES extra copies of this Cat-
alogue, I wish you would
consider ita personal re-
quest from me to make up
a club for Maule’s Seeds.
This you can more rapidly
do by having two or three copies &
to pass around among your neigh-
bors, than if you had only one. However, if you find
that you have not the time to make upaclub, f will &
esteem it a particular favor if you will hand
them to your friends who have not received a copy,
and whom you know desire to purchase seeds next
Spring. Some of my very best orders last season came
from Catalogues distributed in this way, and I do not
believe I have ever lost anything sending out each
year a few thousand extra copies to my friends to
hand around among their neighbors who want good
seeds. Lhope all will place them where they
will do the most good, for this Catalogue has cost
me an immense amount of thought, time and labor
in preparing it, and a large amount of money to pub-
lish. Wein of course very anxious not a copy
shall be wasted but that every one will bring
in an order for MAULE’S SEEDS, SURE.

MORNING STAR,
MORNING STAR.—This new and promisin
variety is the result of several years of carefu
trial and experiment by Mr. J. C. Robinson, of
Washington Co., N. Y. Although Morning Star
is a pure-bred seedling of the Beauty of Hebron,
it bears little or no resemblance to that variety,
but is of a better color, hardier, less liable to
disease, and a better yielder. Its color is pure
white, very handsome in appearance, form oval
to oblong, seldom growing slender waisted or
knobby, and retains its size well to the ends, eyes
even with the surface, but not prominent nor too
numerous, quality excellent, and whether baked
or boiled it is of a delicate floury texture, being
a better table potato than most heavy croppers.
It is a good yielder, the vines making a strong
and vigorous growth, the tubers growing com-
pactly in the hill, with few small ones, nearly
all being of marketable size and bearing hand-

EARLY MAINE.—In-

who found it after two
years’ careful test beside
all standard sorts, and
with scores of seedlings
from every part of the
United States, the best
variety for earliness,
jeld and quality.

man after planting them
says: ‘“‘I would rather
ay extra for the Early
[aine than to take Early

the general opinion of all
who have planted them.
They are not only
smoother, more produc-

DAKOTA RED.—This new sort has been
very largely advertised. Skin is firm, of a
red flesh color, vine stocky and stand draught
well; tubers large and uniform, resembling
the old peachblow in flavor. It is very pro-
ductive, and thrives well on both sand and =
clay soils. It has rotted less than any other
variety in N. Y. State. Peck, 75c.; bus., $2.25;
bbl., $4.50.
EARLY MAYFLOWER.—In 1883 if sold
for $2.00 a pound, and all purchasers found it
a good investment even at this price. May-
flower is of medium size, with smooth skin;
flesh white, solid, is entirely free from any
strong or earthy flavor, and in fact has no
superior in quality among either late or early
sorts. Ripens with the Early Rose. Peck,
75 cts.; bus., $2.00; bbl., $4.00.
CONQUEROR.-A seedling from the Peach-
blow, ripening a week later than Early Rose;
flesh, fine grained, white, and of excellent
flavor. Itisa great cropper, vines strong and
vigorous. This excellent potato is certain
to take a place inthe front rank of the
varieties best suited to the farmer. Its
vigorous growth and eat productiveness,
(1,008 lbs. raised from 1 lb.,) combined with its
uniform smoothness, good eating qualities,
induce me to stake a great deal upon it. Peck,
75 cts.; bus., $2.00; bbl., $4.00.
MAGNUM BONUM.-—An enormous yielder,
early, of unusually large size and superior
table quality. It originated in New York, and
in 1879 the originator raised 548 bushels from
one acre, without any manure whatever.
Peck, 75 cts.; bus., $2.00; bbl., $4.00.
MAMMOTH PROLIFIC.—This new vari-
ety is, in productiveness, simply wonderful, ~
and bids fair to surpass anything yet intro-
duced. It is medium early, ripening in Au-
gust; of very handsome appearance, few eyes,
flesh pure white, fine grained, always solid;
cooks through evenly, and is dry and floury.
It is a vigorous grower, vines completely cov
ering the hills. Have been kept in good con-
dition till new potatoes come again. To sum
up, Mammoth Prolific is just the potato for
the gardener, the farmer, the family, for the
Paap Der, for the exhibitor; in fact, for every-
body and every purpose. Sold in 1883 for $20.00
a bushel. Peck, 75 cts.; bus., $2.00; bbl., $4.00.
MAMMOTH PEARL.—It is an enormous
producer. Quality excellent; and it is partic-
ularly desirable for table use. It is free from
rot; never hollow; sure to produce a cro
in spite of the bugs. Skin white, and fles
the whitest of all varieties. Peck, 75 cts.; bus.,
$2.00: bbl., $3.50.
BEAUTY OF HEBRON—Earlier than the
Early Rose, and at the same time yielding
fully one-half to one-third more. Peck, 75 cts;

the best potatoes introduced for a number of

I presented this new corn in 1884 for
the first time, as a variety that
HAD NO EQUAL IN AMERICA !
THE MOST PRODUCTIVE, the
deepest grain, the smatilest cob for
size of ear—
GOLDEN BEAUTY.
The ears are of perfect shape, with
from ten to fourteen straight rows
of brightest golden yellow grains, of
remarkable size, and filled out com=
pletely to the extreme end of the cob.
THE COBS ARE UNUSUALLY
SMALL; when broken in half the
ins will always reachaecross. The
illustration is an exact representation
of half an ear. The richness of color
and fine quality of grain make it very
superior for grinding into meal. The
grains are not ofa hard, flinty type,
neither are they so soft as to be greatly
shrivelled, as is the Golden Dent. The
ears are easily shelled, although the
kernels are firm on the ear, and in every
respect presents as perfect a type as
could be desired.
The stalks take a strong hold in the
ground; grows vigorously to a height of
eight to ten feet. Golden Beauty ma-
tures as early as any variety of
Golden Dent, and surpasses all in
size, beauty of crain, and immense
roductiveness. A well-known Chester
ounty farmer planted twenty acres,
which yielded two thousand bushels
shelled corn, of the finest grade. THIS
SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. One hund-
red bushels per acre, under ordinary
field culture, is certainly an immense
erop. All farmers who see the Golden
Beauty will be convinced of its merits
at once, and plant no other.

SELF-HUSKING CORN.—This new field
corn is not only one of the wery earliest
srown, ripening 10 days before the Early
Fellow Canada, and three weeks earlier
than the Longfellow, but also has the most
desirable quality of stripping itself, when
ripe, of its husk, which all will admit is in-
deed a most desirable feature. Planted
largely last season in many sections of the
country, it attracted considerable attention,
so much so that the demand this year
promises to be very large; hence, I advise
y early orders. It is of dwarf growth, yet ears
are Straightand large; eight rowed, 10inches
or more in length, well filled out to the
end, while cob is extremely small. It is
very productive, frequently producing three
<—) ears to the stalk. Pkt.. 15 cts.; lb., 75 ets.; 3

PRIDE OF THE NORTH.—One of the
earliest Dents in cultivation, and has
been grown further North than any other
Golden Dent I know of, and matured a
crop. Planted on the fourth day of July, it
has fully matured before frost, and it also
has been planted as a second crop after
wheat harvest, and yielded a full, well-
ripened erop. n addition, it is very pro-
| litic, 100 bushels per acre having frequently
been grown; will grow wonderfully well on
poor soil, and makes no suckers. It is just
the variety for all of my customers to plant
who desire a first-class extra early. Pkt.,

FARMER’S FAVORITE GOLDEN DENT CORN.—This variety
produced after eight years skillful selection and careful cultivation by
one of our most scientific and practical corn growers, was first intro-
duced by us to public notice, being confident that it would prove worthy
of a place in the front rank of the best and most popular varieties of field
corn. The grains are very deep, the cobs bright red, extremely small,
and well filled. It is easily shelled, The corn does not get too hard for
feeding, but is easily digested, and very nutritious. The allowed standard
for corn on the cob is 70 pounds, but 70 pounds of ears of this variety
will average six to eight quarts more than a measured bushel of shelled
corn. Farmers who desire an early and prolific corn, cannot fail
to be suited with the ‘‘Farmer’s Favorite.” Lb., 50 cts.; 3 lbs. $1.00,

This is one of the best egg-

in fine condition and

should be grown by every
poultry breeder, who has
the opportunity to raise
only a few stalks even.
It. may be set in any soil
where other fruits and
vegetables cannot be con-

where where the soil is
not easily cultivated.

THE BLACK GIANT
SUNFLOWER. — This
magnificent Sunflower
produces even larger
neads than the Mam-

raiser of poultry, wheth-
er for pleasure or profit,
needs at least a few
plants of this variety,
for as a poultry food, it SA
can be used most profita-
bly. Seeds are short, un-
usually plump and filled
full of meat, while on
account of the thinness
of the shell, it is at once
more easily eaten by the
fowls than other varie-
ties. Another good qual-
ity is that the seeds are
held very tightly in the
flower, and are not as
easily shelled or as read- -
ily eaten by birds as
other sorts. Few fully

grazing or to cut for hay, all kinds of stock

THREE SOUTHERN FODDER PLANTS.
KAFFIR CORN.—A New Forage Plant from the South.—Kaffir
Corn produces two to four heads from asingle stalk, and in Georgia has
yielded in a single sea- o
son, by the middle of
October, two crops of
crop of grain (50 to 60
bus. per acre.) The
whole stalk, if cut down
as soon as seed heads
appear, at once starts a
second growth from the
roots. It also stands
drought wonderfully. If
growth is checked for
want of moisture, the
plant waits for rain, and
when it comes at once
resumes its growth. On
very thin or worn out
lands it yields paying
crops of grain or forage,
even in dry seasons
when corn has utterly
failed. The wholestalk,
as well as blades, makes
excellent fodder, and all
stock eat it greedily. It
is as early or quick in
growth as Minnesota
Amber Cane, and is
latitude where Amber
Cane has been found
useful as a fodder crop.
Should be sown in drills
and cultivated same as
Indian Corn.
Above description of
the merits of KaffirCorn
I condense from that of
the introducer. I have
no doubt it will prove
particularly desirable
for all the Southern
States. How it will suc-
ceed in the North I am
not prepared to say, un-
til it has been thorough-
ly tested, still I think
all of my customers
should try it. It might
prove a decidedly profitable investment.

ariety of the Sorghum
than by giving the ex-
my customers (Judge Hudson, of Mississippi,) had with
perience one of
it last season. “TI planted it in my Irish potato patch,
four by two feet, three stalks to the hill, and about 200
hills, and cultivated as corn. It was a bold, vigorous,
grower and deep-green color and continues so yet
from bottom to top; grows eight to ten feet. About
half way up the stalk and on the top are numerous
large shoots with fine large blades on them like those
of the main stalk, and on which shoots are other shoots
or suckers, all bearing fine heads, like the main head or
Stalk, but not quite so large, until from midway the
stalk up, is a large mass of heads and fodder. Some
stalks have as high as twenty heads, weighing from
one-fourth to one pound per head, and as fine heavy
blades as the best common corn. One stalk will make
a good, rich feed or meal for a horse. It makes a beau-
tiful, delicious, and perfect pop-corn. There is no
use to raise anything else for horses, cattle, chickens,
or pop-corn. Fertilize and cultivate well; nothing of
its kind will pay as well. It will mature its main head

TEOSINTE.—Somany
have spoken to me of this
magnificent forage plant
that I am glad I have
at last been able to se-
cure a small quantity
of seed. In this latitude,
planted July 3d, it pro-
duced from one seed
twenty-seven stalks, and
attained a height of seven
feet by September 10th,
making a luxuriant
growth of leaves, which
the horses and cattle ate
as freely as young sugar
corn. In appearance some-
what resembles Indian
Corn, but the leaves are
much longer and broader,
and the stalk contains
sweeter sap. In its per-
fection it produces a great
number of shoots, grow-
ing twelve feet high, very
thickly covered with
leaves, yielding such an
abundance of forage that
one plant is considered to
be sufficient to feed a pair
of cattle for 24 hours. In
the South, it surpasses
either Corn or Sorghum
as a soiling of fodder-
lant. 85 stalks have
een grown from one seed
attaining a height of ll
feet. Pkt., 10 cts.; 14 Ib.,
75 cts.; per Ib., $2.50.

MAMMOTH IRONCLAD WATERMELON,
Grows uniformly to a larger size than any other variety known. It
will yicld a far greater bulk and more A 1 marketable melons than any
other. Another wonderful recommendation is the fact that they are
Iron-clad. They have frequently been dropped three feet, and
even from the shoulders of a man without bursting or showing
any bruise. Plucked when ripe, or left on the yines after fully ripe they
keepin fine condition for one month, It is of the most delicious and
sugary flavor. The heart is very large; the flesh next to the rind is fully
equal to the heart in luscious taste. The flesh is never mealy, but always
remarkably solid. In selecting at random hundreds of melons from a
large field not a single one but cut hard and solid. Mammoth Ironclad
is suited forall climates. They ripen with the Cuban Queen, Planted |
May 0th, the first ripe ones were picked August 10th, and melons
taken from the same vines until October Ist. They can be allowed to
remain on the vines one month after they are ripe. Tn 1882, melons
were taken in the first of October, and were kept in good condition for
Christmas dinner. In conclusion, I need only say that Ironclad surpasses
in each and every quality every other variety. I again offer $50 for the
largest Mammoth Ironclad grown from seed purchased of me.
The prize meion of 1886 weighed 128 Ibs. See page 9.
Beware of Bogus seed offered at low prices ; I offer the di-
rGRUTION. seed for 1887 at the following prices :—
Pkt., 15c.; 2 pkts., 25c.; Oz., 20c.; 4 Ib. 50c.; Lb., $1.50.
MAULE’S ROUND DARK-RED RADISH.
The market gardeners’ radish, as it sclls everywhere at a better
price and ahead of all other red radishes. Its rapid growth, beauti-
ful shape, and above all its truly magnificent color at once reeommend
it. Sow Dark Red once and you sow it always; us great an im-
provement on the Scarlet Turnip as it is possible to make. Seed is worth
double the price I ask for it. Pkt., 10c.; 02., 20e.; 14 lb., 40c.; 1b., $1.25.
200 POUND MAMMOTH SQUASH.
nk I can justly claim to have the best strain of this squash in the
ninxESe certainly there is no better. Last Nov. Mrs. M. Price, of Colfax,
[owa, secured the first prize of $25 for raising one of Maule’s Mammoth
Squashes weighing 187 lbs. It is of fine quality and very productive.
Profitable for stock. Pkt., 10 cts.; 0z., 30 cts.; 4 Ib., $1.00; 1b., $8.00.
Market Gardeners will do well to consider when making up their orders, that in addition to having;
the advantage of these low prices, THAT THEY ALSO ALL HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF COMPE-
TING FOR THE $1000 I OFFER FOR THE PRIZE VEGETABLES OF 1887.
