 agents, making up a club order 

 in competition for the 31,000 cash 

 prizes offered on page 1. I was 

 the originator of this plan of do- 

 ing business in America. If any 

 seedsman attempts to sell any 

 of my customers Maule's Seeds, 

 you can rest assured that this Is 

 an impossibility. 



NEW LONG LEMON STUMP ROOTED CARROT. 



MARKET GARDENER'S BEET. 



This new beet is one of the best for general culti- 

 vation. The illustration shows its exact shape. It 

 IS symmetrical in form, with few fibrous roots and 

 small top. It is larger than Egyptian, age for age, 

 and continues to grow for a long period, making a 

 large beet for autumn or winter use. By October 

 it will measure K inches in diameter and average 

 <i pounds in weight. Only one sowing is necessary 

 to produce early beets for market and a main 

 •rop for winter use. The outside color is deep, 

 blood red; inside color blood red and light red al- 

 ternately. When cooked it is of a beautiful, dark 

 red color throughout. The flesh is fine grained, 

 and of unsurpassed table quality. The tops grow- 

 unusually small, which permits of close planting; 

 this is an economical item with market garden- 

 ers, for whose purpose as well as for the family 

 garden, there Is no more prolific beet. For direc- 

 tions for the culture of beets see page 16. Packet, 

 10 cts.; ounce, 15 cts.; % lb., 30 cts.; lb., $1.00. 



NEW LONG LEMON STUMP-ROOTED 

 CARROT. 



This is a variety of great sterling value; one of 

 my best recently introduced vegetables. I thought 

 ^o well of this carrot that I gave it a prominent po- 

 sition on a colored plate in my last year's cata- 

 logue. I furnished seed to many thousands of my 

 customers, and I have yet to hear an unsatisfac- 

 tory account of it. It is a carrot which at all times 

 of its growth is in perfect condition for table use. 

 It is as sweet as the Chantenay. At full maturity 

 it is of such large size as to equal the stock carrots 

 in bulk of yield per acre. Please remember that 

 at all stages of its growth the flesh is as fine 

 grained as the most tender table varieties. It is 

 stuuip-rooted in form, and the illustration is about 

 one-half natural size. I do not doubt that It is 

 destined to become one of our leading standard 

 carrots, for home and market purposes, and I cor 

 diallv commend it to gardeners and farmers 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; % lb., 30 cts.; lb., 81.00. 



NEW ROSE RIBBED PARIS SELF- 

 BLANCHING CELERY. 



Also known as Golden Rose. This superb celery 

 when ready for the table, is of a beautiful, light 

 golden yellow color, very distinctly streaked with 

 pink. It is a sport of the Golden Self-Blanohing, 

 which as my old friends know has for so man> 

 years held a top place in my list of celeries. It 

 contains all the good points of its parent. In two 

 points It stands unrivalled among celeries. These 

 points are quality and beauty. There is abundant 

 testimony to prove my assertion that this pink 

 celery is unequalled in flavor by any other variety 

 grown; and no one who has seen It in perfection 

 will deny that it is the most beautiful and appetiz- 

 ing vegetable that can be selected to grace a din- 

 ner table. It Is easily grown, and may be blanchiid 

 by a single light hilling; and it Is a splendid 

 keeper. The Individual leaf stalks are thick and 

 stocky, and of perfect texture as to brlttlenesa. 

 There can be no mistake made In planting thU 

 handsome and altogether excellent celery, espe- 

 cially for home use or for a choice market. The il- 

 lustration which Is shown herewith, was executed 

 from a photograph and repreeents accnrjitely a 

 trimmed stalk. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 60 cents.
