On aceount of the rapidly and steadily increasing demand for Maule’s fruit trees, bushes, vines and plants, I have 
enlarged the space formerly given to this stock in my annual catalogue.

The stock can be unconditionally recommended, as it is sold

Entomologist Certificate 
New Jersey State Board of Agriculture 
Office of the State Entomologist 
Certificate No. 33, 1905. 
THIS IS TO CERTIFY that I have caused to be inspected 
the nursery stock grown for Wm. Henry Maule, 1711 
Filbert Street, Philadelphia, Pa., on their nursery grounds 
at Hightstown, Mercer county, New Jersey, and have 
found the same to be apparently healthy and free from 
San Jose Seale or similar injurious insects. 
This certificate expires June Ist, 1906, and applies only 
to stock grown on the nurseries above mentioned.

State Entomologist. 
My mailing 
stock has never been finer in both trees and fruiting plants. 
Orders may be sent at any time, and I will ship as soon as 
weather conditions are favorable for planting. I prefer to 
send stock by mail or express, on account of its perishable 
quality, although freight will be satisfactory for short dis- 
tances. Stock under two feet may be sent safely and quickly 
by. mail. 
A Specialty. Trees and plants by mail is a special feature of my 
business, and I would call attention to prices, which I consider as 
reasonable as any, considering size and grade of stock. J cannot send 
any stock by mail unless it is so quoted in the catalogue. 
Shipping Season. The shipping season commences in the fall, 
about October 15th, and lasts as long as it is safe to ship, and in the 
spring about March Ist, and continues until about the l5th of May. 
Southern orders by special arrangement will be shipped at once from 
our enlarged cellars. 
Claims. All claims must be made immediately upon receipt of 
goods, at which time they will be carefully adjusted. I guarantee 
stock to reach buyer in good condition, but do not guarantee it to 
grow, as that is something over which I have no control. 
Prices. The prices in this catalogue do away with all previous quo- 
tations. The prices are for the quantity named, but half-dozen, fifty 
and five hundred will be supplied at dozen, hundred and thousand 
rates, respectively. In ordering small fruits and fruiting plants a 
dozen or more single plants of different sorts cannot be suplied at 
dozen rates. 
Packing. All goods are packed free, and I use the utmost care in 
packing to insure stock being received in good condition. Everything 
is carefully and correctly labelled. 
The New Maule Early Peach. : 
l take pleasure in introducing this year a new peach; a peach with 
which I am willing to associate my name. I consider it first rate; 
in fact, ahead of any other extra early peach thus far produced. It has 
been thoroughly tested under orchard culture, and sustains the good 
opinion of it which I had from the start. It is earlier than Sneed, and 
better in quality. Last year it produced ripe fruit July Ist, as compared 
to July 15th for Sneed. The Maule Early Peach in color is a clear white, 
overspread with bright red, giving the tree ared appearance when the 
fruit isripe. The flesh is white. It is not a perfect free-stone, but as 
much so as any extra early sort. It is very hardy in the bud, and has 
never failed to give a full crop since I first fruited it four years ago. 
The fruit hangs on well without rotting, and bears shipment well. 
Fruit kept two days at the orchard and six days in the city was in good 
condition, under ordinary handling. The Maule Early Peach is a new 
seedling in a class by itself, and is sure to come to the front. It pleases 
the grower and pleases the consumer. It is as good to eatas it is to sell. 
The tree is a vigorous grower and enormous cropper. This peach is 
certain to be profitable under good care and management. Offered this 
year for the first time. 25 cents each; $2.50 per dozen, postpaid. Larger 
size, by express, not prepaid, same prices. 
Special Offer to Buyers of Nursery Stock. 
I will, on request, give one tree of the new Maule Early Peach, free of 
charge, to every buyer of $5.00 worth of nursery stock from this cata- 
logue; but only one tree to a customer.

back, presenting the beautiful fruit, which in 
eppearance is quite similar to a red raspberry.

It has no thorns, but soft spines instead. It is 
enormously productive; fruit as large as the 
largest blackberry, of quite the same shape.

a month earlier than raspberries. It produces 
in great abundance large, golden-yellow ber- 
ries which are sweet and luscious. Highly 
recommended for table use. 15 cents each; 2
