MAMMOTH SILVER KING. — I Introduced 

 this grand onion to the public over 20 years ago. « 

 The skin is of a beautiful, silvery white. The flesh, 

 has a particularly mild and pleasant flavor, and | 

 is so sweet that It may be eaten raw like an apple. 

 No other white onion attains such mammoth 

 size, nor will any other white variety grow uni-j 

 formly so large. The bulbs are of an attractive' 

 shape, flattened, but thick, as shown in the illus- 

 tration. The average diameter of fully growE 

 Mammoth Silver King onions is from 5 to 7J^ 

 inches. I have a record of one of these onions 

 weaghiug 4 pounds and 9 ounces. Thousands o! 

 letters and postal cards have reached me contain 

 I' ^ words of the highest praise of the wonderful H 

 i/e, early maturity and good quality of thltfc 

 lamous onion; and the fact that these voluntarjE 

 testimonials come from all parts of the countrj || 

 proves the adaptability of the onion to a wldiS 

 _ range of soil and climate. Packet, 10 cents; ounce*' 

 ,J^^ c^ts; % pound. 75 cents; pound, S2.50. |Ii

 ■== claimed a place In America within recent yearsF 

 and seems abundantly able to roaintaln It. It 1 

 ol medium size and of good quality, very early 

 rather flattened In shape, of brown color, ani 

 wonderfully hard and solid. It begins to form 

 bulb at anearly period of its growth, when onl; 

 a few inches high, and quickly reaches maturltj 

 Its leading and most valuable feature, aside froE 

 appearance and quality, is its long keeping abf 

 ity. It will literally keep for a year or more. ]| 

 has developed a sudden and wide popularity 1 

 this country since its advent here. Packet, 10 cta|

 BROWN 



On this page of my last year's catalogue, my friends will remember, I 

 gave photographic illustrations of Mr. Wilson's exhibits at the Illinois 

 and Indiana .State Fairs in 1905; so It seems fitting on this page to report 

 that Mr. Wilson was equally successful in 19U6 and Bwept everything. 



J. P. Wilson, Olney, Ilia.— I take pleasure in reporting that my premiums on vege- 

 tables grown from Maule's Seeds amounted to over $300. J22.5 at tbe Illinois State 

 Fair, and the balance at Indiana State Fair and Ricbland county Fair. At the 

 Illinois State Fair, which is no doubt as they advertise, the greatest fair on earth, I 

 again won 1st premium on collection of vegetables against strong competition. One 

 of your competitoi's in business gave an Indiana man #1-50 for making a show at the 

 Illinois State Fair. Since I have been growing my vegetables from Maule's 

 Seeds 1 have won 1st premium on largest collection of vegetables on every entry I 

 have made at the different Faii-s I have attended. I enclose certlHcate from Superin- 

 tendent of Farm Products at Illinois State Fair, showing my winnings there; I also 

 send you under separate cover a photograph of my display at Illinois State Fair. 



John E. Roberts, Phcenix. Oregon— I am well pleased with your garden sec 

 from 3?i pounds of onion seeds, mostly Prizetaker, purchased from you last seas 

 I sowed % of an acre, which yielded 30.000 lbs. good onions, which brought me $3( 



Chas. H. Sivere. Oswego, N. T.— I am very much pleased with your new Cc 

 mercial Onion; I sowed 1"^ pounds on 3.5 rods of land, and harvested 204 bushels, 

 of which I have only 3 bushels of small ones. My father has grown onions fo: 

 years, and he says this is the most even crop of onions be ever saw. 



H. L. Byfleld, Oklahoma City. Oklahoma.— Your seeds were a great surprise 

 me, I believe every seed germinated, and as I bad been using those from ot 

 firms, giving about two-thirds as many plants as seeds I had a fine time thinn) 

 I never saw such onions, Prizetakers and Wetherstield. Your seeds are certai 

 the very best, and If any push I could make would send them all around the wi 

 they would certainly go. Just one thing I would complain of. If .vou would j 

 lish on packets '-every seed expected to germinate" it w'ould save a lot of work. 



I. M. Wood, Council Hill, Ind Ter.— Your Prizetaker Onion Is extra fine; fi 

 J3. 00 worth of seed I have 150 bushels of good salable onions; every one who 

 seen my onion patch says it is the best they ever saw; they are excellent keepers ' 



Mrs. Laura Shead, Arcadia, Kan.— I sent for 5 ounces of your onion seed, 2 { 

 of Red Globe and Prizetaker, and 1 of Mammoth Silver King, The .Silver Kinf 

 they came in early, I bunched and sold at 5 cents a bunch; when they were go 

 sold Prizetaker until they were ripe, when I pulled 24 bushels of fine onions 

 Prizetakers were the larger of the two varieties. Old settlers tell me they are 

 largest onions they have ever seen grown here. I received for the ripe onions 

 per bushel, and after keeping ii^ bushels for my own use, I have sold ini 

 bunched and ripe, $36,3-5 worth, and can say I am well pleased with my o 

 seed, and with all other seeds ordered from you. I will send you my order for I 



E, J. Watson, Horticulturist, North La, Ex, Sta,, Calhoun, La.— The onions c 

 in today; we pronounce them "veiy fin?." in fact, we have never seen a finer s I 

 men of this particular variety, the Yellow Globe Danvers. ~i ou ought to fi 

 growing of such onions in quantities very profitable. Unless you wish 

 returned, we will keep them and preserve them in our Museum, as an iUuatr ( 

 of what Louisiana Is capable of producing in this line. 



The above letter was received by one of my customers, Mr. E. H. 

 land, Colfax, La., who sent It to me. Mr. Holland writes : "My on j 

 were the largest ever seen in this town. 



^^^t^J 



No Market Gardene 



in the United States or Canada whose einnual order exce 

 Ten Dollars, should fail to have my special wholesale pi 

 list, which will be mailed free to all who apply for it who 

 raising truck for sale. It will prove a money-saver. Pr 

 are right, goods are right, and as hundreds of my mai st 

 gardener friends have remarked: "Once a customer for Mavi/i 

 Seeds always a customer." I am sure you wll say the sale 

 You had better send a postal card request for it today.
