24 White Marrowfat 
For more than a century the favorite white baking bean (100 days) 
Long, broad, straight pods filled with 5 or 6 large, clear white 
beans, highly valued for dry shelling and baking. Plants grow 
only 1% ft. tall but are extremely vigorous, sending out many 
short runners which increase the yield. The seeds are larger and 
' plumper than the standard Navy bean. Dry shell beans need 
no canning equipment, and they do fill an important spot on 
winter menus.

15 Red Kidney 
The good old fashioned baking bean (95 days) © 
This variety, like White Marrowlat, has been grown in America 
for well over 100 years. It has long, broad, waxy green pods 
containing 4 or 5 large red kidney shaped seeds. The plants 
grow 1% ft. tall, bushy, and without runners. Our strain is 
heavily productive and uniform in seed color. A pleasant change 
from white baking beans with distinctly different flavor and 
color to excite the appetite. 
Pkt. 10¢; 14 lb. 25¢; lb. 45¢; 2 Ibs. 85¢; 5 Ibs. $2.00; 10 Ibs. $3.50. 
6 Dwarf Horticultural 
Also called Speckled Cranberry. (Snap 48 days. Shell 60 days) 
A fine, early bush bean, useful for snaps when pods are young and 
stringless; unsurpassed for green shell beans as the pods grow 
older. Seeds are large, easily shelled, and buff colored, becoming 
mottled purplish red at maturity. Pleasantly farinaceous.

; 29 Fava Bean 
Also called Broad Bean; pods contain 5 to 7 giant beans (75 days) 
Much hardier than other beans and should be planted like peas 
as early as the ground can be worked. The plants are large and 
erect, true bush form, and produce a heavy crop of glossy green 
pods, 7 in. long and quite wide. Pods contain 5 to 7 large, broad, 
flat, light green beans which somewhat resemble lima beans and 
should be used in the same manner. Remember to plant early 
for best results. Dry seed is very large, circular, flat, reddish 
brown with black eye. A great favorite in Europe.

DWARF 
SHELL 
Ei, Sa 
White Marrowfat Shell Beans 
Culture: Do not plant shell beans until danger of frost is past and the soil is 
warm; sowings should be made before July 10. Plant in rows 2 to 3 ft. apart, 
spacing the seed 2 to 3 in. apart, and cover with 2 in. of soil. A packet will plant 
about 25 ft. of row; 1 lb. 100 ft.; 60 lbs. for an acre. Shell beans should be left 
on the vines until they are thoroughly matured and dried before they are put 
away for winter use. Shell beans keep very well when stored ina cold, dry place. 
Everything you can save from your garden for use next winter is going to be 
appreciated, and dried beans are among the most important staples in your diet. 
28 French Horticultural 
Largest and most brightly colored. (Snap 56 days. Shell 70 days) 
The dark green pods are 7 in. long, straight, flat, and broad at 
the snap bean stage. Color changes to greenish yellow heavily 
splashed with carmine, and pods become round at the shell bean 
stage. Plants have short runners and yield heavily. Larger and 
later than Dwarf Horticultural.

SUGAR BEETS and MANGELS 
5 93 Klein Wanzleben Sugar Beet 
You can produce your own sugar sirup (90 days) 
Half the world’s sugar comes from sugar beets. Special equip- 
ment is needed for refining granulated sugar, but you can make 
sugar sirup (part of which crystallizes to form sugar) right at 
home with ordinary canning utensils. Sugar beet sirup has a dis- 
tinctive flavor entirely different from other sweets, and very 
attractive to most people. Thousands of Maule customers 
planted Klein Wanzleben last year as a precaution against sugar 
shortage, and for many the interesting processing experiment and 
novel flavor of this homemade sirup will call for a repeat planting. 
An ounce of seed produces at least 24 pints of sirup. Instructions 
free on request. Pkt. 10¢; oz. 25¢; 14 Ib. 50¢; 14 Ib. 85¢; Ib. $1.45. 
96 Yellow Tankard 
Favorite, highly nutritious mangel (100 days) 
Heavy cropper; large oval-shaped roots; light gray above ground 
and deep orange below; flesh is yellow, zoned with white. Its 
productiveness and nutritive value have made it a favorite mangel 
with stock farmers. Pkt. 10¢; oz. 20¢; 14 Ib. 45¢; 14 Ib. 75¢; Ib. $1.25. 
101 Giant Half Sugar 
Bright rose and white mangel (90 days) 
Tremendously productive and highly nutritious mangel. Roots 
are light rose above ground, grayish white below; flesh is firm, 
juicy, and pure white. They are large, oval-shaped, and quick 
maturing. Pkt. 10¢; oz. 20¢; 14 lb. 45¢; 1% lb. 75¢; Ib. $1.25. 
94 The Jumbo * 
The best long, red mangel (110 days) : 
Roots grow to a truly enormous size, often reaching a diameter 
of 6in. anda length of 2 ft. They are uniformly straight and even, 
and comparatively thicker than most other mangels. Roots grow 
from % to % out of the ground, and consequently are easily har- 
vested. Flesh is white tinged with rose. Where corn cannot be 
grown because of a short cool season mangels make an excellent 
substitute for stock and poultry feeding. Their food value is equal 
to grain and superior to silage. A yield of from 10 to 15 tons per 
acre 1s average. Pkt. 10¢; oz. 25¢; 14 Ib. 45¢; 1% Ib. 75¢; Ib. $1.25. 
95 Maule’s Gate Post 
Golden yellow, oval-shaped mangel (100 days) 
The name Gate Post refers to the desirable habit of the roots 
growing 14 or more above the ground. This makes the harvesting 
of this mangel much easier than those which grow mostly below 
the soil surface. Maule’s Gate Post produces large, attractive, 
oval-shaped roots of a golden yellow color. The flesh is white, 
sometimes showing a tinge of yellow in the rings. 
- Pkt. 10¢; oz. 20¢; 14 lb. 45¢; 14 lb. 75¢; Ib. $1.25. 
Cultural suggestions: Mangels are grown for poultry and stock feeding. 
Sugar beets are grown in the same way as mangels, and are also used for stock 
feeding if they are not processed for sugar sirup. Sow seed in May or early 
June in rows 2 to 3 ft. apart and cover the seed with 1 in. of soil. Thin to stand 
8 to 12 in. apart in the row. Use one packet for 25 ft. of row; one ounce for 
100 ft.; and 5 to 6 lbs. to the acre.
