Maule's Market Kin.^ Beet 



Market King is a quick grower and soon reaches maturity; 

 but though an early beet it is an excellent keeper. The soli- 

 dity, fineness and dnnness of its bright red flesh makes it one 

 of the best keeping varieties. It is always a ready seller on 

 the market stall, where a symmetrical shaped beet is wanted. 



On the points of flavor and table quality, we would lay 

 especial emphasis, for it is an ideal beet for household use. It 

 can be used at all stages of growth, and it is almost needless to 



o 



say that a sweet and succulent half long blood beet like this is 

 sure to become a market favorite. 



The shape and solidity of Market King favor extra heavy 

 cropping, and we recommend it to our customers knowing that 

 it will be profitable and popular. As a winter keeper it is one 

 of the best of the half long blood strains. If it were not for 

 our knowledge of its high table quality and great croi^ping 

 ability, we would not give it so much prominence. 



Packet, lO cents; ounce, 15 cents; quarter pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.25, postpaid.

 dren are still planting them with success. Hiss Josephine Mays, Hartington, Neb. 



11 yon will look on yonr books, you will lind that I began buying from Maule's 

 somewhere about 1900. My recommendation and my garden have advertised you. 

 I won prizes in Florida and had the best garden in this section last year. Not a 

 single failure. Mrs. George Shirley Kernan, Accotink, Va. 



I have planted Manle's Seeds for the past fiteen years and have never been 

 disappointed in them. Mrs. J. N. Fair, St. Clair, Tenn. 



Manle's Seeds beat all others. True to their motto,"Once Grown Always Groivn."

All seeds ordered came in good condition and promptly, and now with more 

 than 25 years of the same satisfactory service from your hands, can yon wonder 

 that I want Maule's Seeds. Mrs. May West, Bucyrus, Kansas. 



ECLIPSE BEET. 



Eclipse 



74 



Is one of the best known of ttie table beets, 

 and we have a strain of extra purity and merit, 

 particularly noted for earllness. It is Indeed 

 high praise to say that our Eclipse beet Is 

 almost or quite as early as Egyptian, for the 

 latter has been long accepted as the earliest of 

 all; and Eclipse has ever been recognized as 

 superior to Egyptian in table value. Our strain 

 has small top and is smooth, fine grained and 

 tender, with bright red color. Many market 

 gardeners have discarded Egyptian entirely in 

 favor of this strain of Eclipse, and for a home 

 garden sort It is one of the best.

DETROIT DARK RED BEET. 



Detroit Dark Red 



This early globe-shaped beet of excellent 

 quality Is especially esteemed on account of 

 its dark red color, which extends entirely 

 through the beet, and without the light colored 

 rings seen In some varieties. The medium 

 sized beets are smooth and handsome and are 

 now being largely used for canning as well as 

 for the home garden or market. It retains 

 Its good quality even after it gets large, and is 

 an excellent variety on this account for fall use 

 as well as for spring. We have a very fine strain 

 of this beet, being of uniform globe shape, 

 small tops and very dark red.

MAULE'S DARK RED EGYPTIAN BEET. 



81 Maule's Dark Red 

 Egyptian 



The Egyptian beet Is one of the most populn > 

 varieties among market gardeners for foicin, 

 purposes. Justly or unjustly it is considered - 

 be the earliest of all. It certainly will bear q\o- 

 plantlng in the valuable space under glass <i 

 in a warm garden In early spring. It is tuin:; 

 shaped, and when young Is crisp and tendet 

 In color it Is dark red. To gardeners havinsr : 

 preference for Egyptian, we otter the best st r;i i n

I find it pays to plant Maule's Seeds always, ai 

 they are fresh and genuine. They always come 

 up and grrow fine.
