“Excelsior Tree” Egg Plant. 
After studying and watching this unusually 
fine egg plant for several years, I at last pro- 
It is a half- 
cured a stock of the seed. It is of large size and 
extremely good shape, being particularly 
adapted to slicing, as there is no waste of mater- 
ial. In flavor it cannot be surpassed. The hot 
sun does not blight the blossom, as is the case 
with some other sorts. It resists Grought and 
bad weather to a wonderful degree, partly on 
account of its strong, upright growth. It bears 
its eggs or fruit well above the ground, thus 
a "es note that Maule’s Seeds since 1889 have not been sold by dealers. If wanted 
they can only be obtained direct from Wm. Henry Maule, 1711 Filbert Street, 
Philadelphia, or through one of my customers making up a club in your neighborhood.

ures 18 to 24 inches in circumference (six to eight 
inches in diameter). No market or_ private 
gardener should fail to try Excelsior Tree Egg 
Plant this year.

A BEAUTIFUL AND DESIRABLE NEW KALE. 
Emerald Isle. 
FRESH FROM OLD IRELAND. 
This handsome new kale is from the north of Ireland, a fact which (in 
connection with its green color) makes its name highly appropriate. It 
was originated by an expert Irish gardener, and is quite distinct from 
any other sort. It is of medium height, with long, well-curled green 
leaves, and is one of the handsomest kales ever developed. 
Its graceful leaves are unmarked by frost, and present a bright, 
cheerful appearance until covered by the snows of winter. Fine con- 
trasts can be obtained by planting the green and purple kales in close 
proximity to each other. 
Emerald Isle kale is quite hardy, and will be found of great practical

SILVER ANNIVERSARY LETTUCE. 
Silver Anniversary 
iettuce. 
This new lettuce, which I first distributed in 1902, the year of my 
Silver Anniversary (hence its name) is certainly a winner in size, table 
quality, heat resisting ability and commercial value. One of my cus- 
tomers well describes it as follows: ‘‘No more desirable or attractive 
lettuce has ever been produced than this one, forming dense heads of 
yellowish green leaves that make it very conspicuous in the garden. 
The leaves are crisp, tender and juicy, and of genuine lettuce flavor, 
qualities that will recommend it either for salads or garnishing. While 
one of the earliest of the early, it endures the heat of summer as well, if 
not better, than any other variety.” It certainly is a valuable sort, and 
is bound to win the favor of all who plant and cultivate it. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 14 pound, 60 cents; pound, $2.00.
