White Lisbon Sy) 
Parsnip. 
This new parsnip, from 
Portugal, wiil prove, lam 
sure, a striking and attrac- 
tive novelty, as it has been 
many years since we have 
had a new parsnip. The 
shape is well shown in 
iliustration (one-half nat- 
ural size). It is remark- 
ably free from side roots; 
in fact, in this respect is 
about the cleanest of all 
parsnips. Itis fine grained 
and of superior flavor, and 
if it had not been named 
White Lisbon might well 
be called an Improved 
Hollow Crown. Its hand- 
some appearance would 
attract attention any 
where, and J am very sure 
it will give the best o 
satisfaction to all my cus- 
tomers who try it. Pkt.,

1 consider this the best 
parsnip for market gai- 
dener or amateur, Th¢ 
root is Smooth, and th: 
flesh fine grained and cf 
excellent flavor. It is « 
heavy cropper. Being 
larger in diameter and 
shorter than the Long 
Smooth, it is harvestec 
with less labor. Excellen' 
for stock as well as for the 
table. Packet, 10 cts.;

New Round 
Flat Short-Leaved 
Parsnip. 
My friend, Mr. Ernest Benary, of 
Germany, a seedsman with whom 
many of my customers are ac- 
quainted, is putting out, this year, 
a new parsnip, and sends me the 
following description of it: “It is 
similar in form to the Egyptian 
Turnip-Rooted beet, grows very 
quickly, and its pure white flesh is 
firm and tender. On account of its 
very short foliage, Round Flat 
Short-Leaved requires considerably 
less room and therefore yields

Eva Hawkins, Houston, Minn.—My carrots raised last season from Maule’s Seeds 
turned out as fine a crop as I ever raised, in both size and quality. 
Eugene R. Miller, Berkeley Springs, W. Va.—Since buying your seeds we have 
never been without a good garden. Last year we had the Danish Ball Head Cab- 
bage until the middle of May and we have plenty this year. Our friends were all 
surprised at our grand cabbage. There may be other seeds as good as Maule’s, but- 
I don't think any better; if there are we have never found them yet. 

E.T. Bush, Stockton, WN. J.—Our vegetables did well last 
year in spite of drought. Cabbages—on a market garden 
scale—just laughed at dry weather. 
Mrs. Edward J. Young. Los Angeles, Cal.—I have pur 
chased many dollars worth of seeds and plants from you in 
the last 8 years, and have had them shipped both to Califor- 
= nia and the Repubiic of Mexico. The plants have always 
arrived in good condition, they and the seeds were first- 
class; and from experience I find I always receive better re- 
sults in purchasing from you than from any other dealer. Earty SHoRT RounNp.
