THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1910 
Maule’s Market Gardeners’. 
Always Good. 
Never Past Its Prime. 
This grand beet is one of the best on my list for general culti- 
vation by market gardeners and farmers. Makes a very rapid 
growth from the start, often larger than Egyptian, 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 pro- 
duce 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. It is a good 
keeper and may be used all winter. When cooked, it is of a 
beautiful, dark red color throughout, and of unsurpassed table 
quality. ‘Che 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 is small. It should appeal strongly to business gardeners 
3 and to everybody wanting an all seasons table beet. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; } pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.50. 






























CARDINAL.—I picked up this excellent variety 
in England, in 1895. It has proven a worthy in- 
troduction. Ready for market six weeks from 
sowing. The shape is well shown in the illustra- 
tion, from a photograph. The flesh is dark crim- 
son, changing into rings of a lighter color, very 
tender and of delicate flavor. When cooked it is ofa 
beautiful, solid crimson, and of rich, sugary flavor, 
entirely free from fibre. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 
15 cts.; 14 pound, 30 cts.; pound, $1.00. 
MAULE’S IMPROVED LONG RED. — Next 
to Market King this is the best long red beet on 
the market, being of unexcelled quality for table 
and live stock. It has yielded twelve tons to the 
acre. In color it is rich carmine, and in quality it 
is sweet and tender. In rich ground it may be 
sown with advantage in July or August, as a Sec- 
ond crop. It will not be injured by the October 
frosts and will produce a great abundance of first- 
class root food for winter. No other beet can take 
MAULE’S MARKET GARDENERS’. (The Great All Season’s Beet.) 
HALF-LONG BLOOD.—An excellent main crop beet; a great favor- 
ite as afield sort. It combines gocd table quality with highest stock 
feeding value. It is a large cropper and reliable winter keeper. The 
: root is more tapering than the turnip shaped 
beets, and reaches deeper into the soil. The 
flesh is dark red, tender and sweet; foliage rich 
and dark. This standard beet is an old fay- 
orite with market men and stock owners.

DETROIT DARK RED BEET. 

Mrs. J. T. Borland, Exeter, 
I offer this season a particularly | Neb.—I think the new order 


{MPROVED SWISS CHARD. choice strain of Swiss Chard or Silver 
Beet. It seems the American people are just becoming acquainted | 
with the desirability of having a little Swiss Chard or Silver Beet, or, as | 
iit Is sometimes called, Sea Kale Beet, in their garden. This beet is | 
grown for its leaves only. The middle of the leaf or midrib is cooked 
and served like asparagus. The other portions of the leaf may be used | 
like spinach. The seed should be sown in spring, in drills, a foot apart. 
This beet does not make a large root, but is a delicious summer vege- | 
table when cut young and used for “greens.” Packet, 5 cents; | 
eunce, 10 cents; 4 pound, 25 cents; pound, 75 cents. ore 

of listing is an improvement. 
What else can one expect of 
Maule’s improving all the 
time. 
Jasper M. Shaver, Albany, 
Mo.—I like the catalogue 
much better this year than 
last. Took too much time 
the way it was arranged be- 
fore, and, you know, time {s 
money nowadays.
