THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1907 



MAITLE'S FAMIIiY GARDEN. — An excellent, 

 smooth, early pea, maturing m 48 to 50 dajs trom 

 seed. It is first rate In quality, very productive, and 

 much resembles Maule's Improved Extra Early, but 

 unlike that variety does not mature all its pods at the 

 same time. Its bearing period is from one to three 

 weeks, a fact giving special value in the home or 

 family garden. Its prolonged term of bearing caused 

 it to receive its name. The variety is hardy, and 

 readily resists a little frost. It is a favorite wherever 

 known, and I commend it to amateurs for early 

 spring planting. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 2-5 cents; quart, 

 40 cents, postpaid. Peck, S1.25; bushel,S4.50. 

 ALASKA. — An extra early sort, with vines about two feet in height.

NEW 



DWARF 



CHAMPION 



L. G. Brown, Homer, Kan.— I have tried your seeds for years and find them to 

 be reliable. I planted seed from six other firms and becarne disgusted, and settled 

 on a reliable house— Wm. Henry Maule. It's a pleasure to deal with those who 

 Jiave our interest at heart, which every seedsmen should have, for it tempts a man 

 to break the Ten Commandments wlieu he has four or five kind of plants from 

 the same package of seed. 



John H. Taylor, Normandy, Tenn.— We have used your seeds for the past 8 or 9 

 years, and find them to be the very best. We raise two crops of your Stringless 

 Green Pod Bean each year, and are delighted with them. We grow your Early 

 Express Cabbage for early, and the Houser for fall and winter use. The Houser 

 grows large, is hardy and a good keeper. I don't see how we could beep house 

 without it. We are delighted with Maule's Earliest of All Tomatoes; they are "fine 

 for canning, and beep well after they are canned. 



T. H. Hardin, Clayton New Mexico.— I have used your seed for years, and find 

 f.hem the best of all. Last spring I sent you $2.80 for seeds, mostly specialties: we 

 jiad all the vegetables we could use all summer for a family of five: canned 20 quarts 

 string beans. 6 gallons chow chow, 1.3 gallons cucumber pickles, made 40 gallons 

 kraut, have 400 pounds cabbage left, the finest I ever saw: have plenty of onions 

 and beets to last all winter. Maule's Seeds are certainly O. K., and this is out here 

 where everything is new, and everyone told me I would not raise vegetables 

 enough to pay for the seed. 



B.en. F. Plummer, Forest City, Mo.— I have been very much pleased with the 

 seeds I have bought of you the last three years. They "have been satisfactory in 

 every respect. We have been very successful with the Maule's Early Peas; our 

 neighbors ask us "didn't you sweeten those peas?" Icicle Eadish and Enormous 

 Tomatoes are winners, as well as good quality. Your Danish Ball Head Cabbage 

 beat them all in quality.

BLISS'S 

 EVERBEARING 



BLISS'S EVERBEARING. — A cele- 

 brated wrinkled pea, I^s to 2 feet high, of 

 good quality and flavor. Its season is 

 late to very late, and it is especially ad- 

 apted to summer and autumn cropping. 

 It has a remkrkable and valuable branch- 

 ing habit; sometimes forming as many as 

 ten stalks from one root.the result of a sin- 

 gle seed. It will do well without sticks or 

 brush. Repeated pickings may be made, 

 for the vine continues to produce blos- 

 soms and successlonal crops of pods in its 

 efl'ort to ripen its seeds. It is thus a con- 

 tinuous bearer through a long season.
