BLTHOUGH I offered Silver King for the first 

 time in 1884, I do not believe any other va- 

 riety, excepting possibly my Sure-head Cab- 

 bage, has in 7 years time been more unanimously 

 endorsed by one and all in all sections of the 

 country. I received thousands of letters and 

 postals the past six seasons, all containing 

 words of the highest praise AS TO THE 

 EARLY MATURITY AND QUALITY OF THIS 



WONDERFUL SIZE. 



NOW FAMOUS ONION, seed of which I have sold to tens of thousands 

 of my customers. It grows larger than any other white Onion 

 In cultivation. Bulbs are of attractive shape, flattened, but thick 

 through, as shown in illustration. Average diameter of Onions, from 5 to 

 T% in. ; bulbs often attain weights of 2% to 4 lbs. each. No other 

 White Onion attains such mammoth size, nor will any- 

 other White variety grow uniformly so large. Skin, a beauti- 

 ful silvery white ; flesh, of particularly mild and pleasant flavor, so sweet 

 and tender that it can be eaten raw, like an apple. Everyone desiring the 

 largest and handsomest onions, of the finest flavor will be more 

 than satisfied with Silver King. Cannot be too highly recommended 

 either for family »>se, exhibition at fairs or restaurants, or for sale in mar- 

 ket where its size and beauty will prove very striking. If you have 

 not already sown Silver King, you should not neglect to 

 sow it another year. In 1887-88-89-91, over 100,000 gar- 

 deners found It to EQUAL AND SURPASS ALL CLAIMS HEREIN MADE

piaule's Earliest of nil Peas. 



Is there a seedsman in the U. S. who has not 

 the best Extra Early Pea in existence ? We have 

 yet to find a catalogue where this claim is not made and where the special strain of peas offered by 

 the said seedsman is not all the way from one to two weeks earlier than any other pea in the world. 

 Now we do not claim there is no other extra early pea but Maule's Earliest of All, but we do claim 

 that we have a strain of extra early peas that is the equal of anything on the market and a thous- 

 and per cent, better than lots of trash that is yearly sold for extra early peas to the confiding 

 gardeners of the country. Every gardener who has ever sown Maule's Earliest of All alongside of 

 other varieties has yet to find an earlier pea, and nothing can better illustrate its worth than the 

 fact that many times in the last nine years we have been entirely sold out, as the demand invariably 

 exceeds the supply. If you want a pea that is unsurpassed in regularity of growth, yield, size of 

 pod and general excellence, you need Maule's Earliest of All. It is wonderfully productive and 

 can almost always be cleared off in two pickings, in fact, if given half a chance it will always come 

 out ahead. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 50 cents. See 2nd cover page.
