{ (li ] 
Vl i is P MAULE’S HEAVY CROPPING SWEDE.—I have been selling 
this magnificent ruta baga for twenty 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, ete., may be learned by referring to the illustration. It is the 
king of the ruta bagas. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; 4 Ib., 25¢.; lb., T5e. 
IMPROVED PURPLE TOP SWEDE.—Next in yield and value 
after my Heavy Cropping Swede, I place this old standard variety. 
It is of fine quality and is widely grown. It keeps perfectly alk 
winter, and even into the following summer. It is hardy, productive, 
sweet, solid and satisfactory. Its shape is shown ‘in the illustration, 
which also gives a hint of its yield. It is 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. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 
10 cents; 4 pound, 20 cents; pound, 60 cents. 
LARGE WHITE FRENCH SWEDE.—Grows to a large size, 
and is most excellent for table use or for live stock. The flesh is firm, 
rich and of sweet, nutritious quality. Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 10 cts.; 
14 pound, 20 cts.; pound, 60 cts. 
SUTTON’S CHAMPION SWEDE. — Is a great cropper, some- 
times producing over 40 tons to the acre. It is considered by many 
people to be one of the best ruta bagas grown, equally remarkable for 
quality, hardiness, keeping ability, size and flavor 
firm, sweet and rich. A most excellent sort 
either for table or for feeding stock. Packet, 
5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; 14 pound, 20 cents; 
pound, 60 cents. 
Flesh yellow, solid, 
ever ate.

Mrs. M. Egard, Henderson, 
Ky. — Your specialties for 1906 « 
were without equal; but I have 
always found your seeds super- 
fine, the best to be obtained any- 
where. The China Rose Winter 
is the most delicious radish I 
WHITE ROCK. 
WHITE ROCK SWEDE.—This variety 
was until lately but little known outside of the 
New England States, but in that section it 
has long had an enviable reputation as an 
extra good cropper and reliable keeper. It is 
equally desirable for table purposes or for 
stock feeding. The illustration shows its ex- 
cellent form. Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 10 cts.3 
ly pound, 20 cts.; pound, 50 cts. 
There is nothing so conducive to good busi- 
ness as honorable competition. No one recog- 
nizes the fact better than myself that 
Henderson 
Burpee 
Ferry 
and a number of other houses supply their cus- 
tomers with good seeds. I have never claimed 
that Wm. Henry Maule was the only one in the 
seed business in America; but I want to impress 
the fact on new readers of this book that noth- 
ing pleases me better than to have Maule’s 
Seeds planted alongside of seeds from other 
reputable houses, and I know the results will 
always be the same, viz: That while some few 
may equal Maule’s Seeds, nome under any 
circumstances will surpass Maule’s Seeds in 
quality. There may be some others just as 
good, but there are none better, and I say this 
advisedly after more than 30 years’ experience 
in seed growing and seed selling.
