THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1907 



Fordhook Famous 

 GuGumber. 



This new extra long White Spine cucum- 

 ber produces perfectly smooth, very dark 

 green, handsome straight fruit, measuring 

 12 to 17 inches long. They are always solid, 

 flesh being a greenish white, firm, crisp and 

 of most delicious flavor. It is a great crop- 

 per and fruit is full of flesh with but few 

 seeds. At Panmure, where I had more than 

 two acres of Fordhook Famous, it excited 

 the admiration of all visitors, fruit being 

 of such beautiful green, and so long and 

 symmetrical. Supply of seed still limited.

I call it Honey from the fact that 56 of my customers suggested this name, in competition for 

 a 8100 prize, and it was very gratifying to me to know that so many felt compelled on account 

 of its sweet, delicious flavor to call this new melon Honey. The Honey muskmelon is of 

 medium size, weighing 3 to 4 pounds on an average. It is distinctly and evenly ribbed and 

 moderately netted. Globe shape and somewhat flattened at the stem and blossom end. Its 

 exterior color is a peculiar shade of green, quite unlike any other muskmelon. The flesh Is 

 green, inclining to yellow. The spicy flavor is as distinct and characteristic as It is sweet and 

 pleasing. The flesh is both deep and firm, the edible portion almost touching the rind, and 

 remarkably juicy. At Panmure last season my field of these melons was a sight to behold, 

 and everyone who tasted them renaarked that Honey was certalnl.v the proper name for so 

 delicious a melon. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, £0 cents; % pound, 60 cents; pound, 82.00.

MAJLE S ALWAYS HEADS CAULIFLOWER 



Maule's Always Heads Cauliflower. 



The name well Illustrates the strongest characteristic of this 

 cauliflower, that in season and out of season it can always be de 

 pended upon to make a head. I secured It from one of the most 

 expert cauliflower growers in Denmark, who for many years has 

 considered "Always Heads" absolutely head and shoulders above 

 every other cauliflower, as he has raised 99 heads 8 to 10 in. across 

 from" every 100 plants year after year. He resides in a district where 

 hundreds of acres of Snowball and Extra Early Erfurt are annuallv 

 grown, and has always been able to secure top market prices foi 

 his entire product, besides being equally as early in the market. I 

 am not prepared to say it is any better than Maule's Prize Earliest 

 but consider it equally as good. Pkt., 20 cts.; '^ oz., SI. 00; oz., S3.00 



Golden Bantam Sweet Corn. 



This is a new very early corn from Massachusetts. My old friend 

 Mr. E. L. Coy, sa.vs it impressed him as the sweetest and most ten 

 der corn he had ever tasted. It is deep yellow in color and very 

 early, entirely different from the old Early Orange and much eai 

 lier. Can be planted thickly, and with me every stalk had from 2 

 to 8 perfect ears. The Introducer says that on account of the firm 

 substance of the cured grains It can be planted earlier than any 

 other true sweet corn. Pack-et, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts.
