14 MAULE’S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1905 
MAULE’S GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING CELERY. 

The Favorite Sort. Unquestionably the Most Popular and Profitable Celery in Cultivation. Every 
Year the Demand Continues to Increase, so that it Often Happens I am Sold Out Early in the Season. 

Golden Self-Blanching is the best and most popular celery in cultivation 
today, all things considered. It gives the largest return for the least 
labor. In qualityit ranks with the highest. It is in equal favor with the 
amateur and the market gardener. It is of dwarf or half-dwarf habit, 
growing about 18 or 20 inches high, wonderfully stocky, very heavy, per- 
By fectly solid, of delicious flavor and a good keeper. Added to these fine 
points is its great distinctive virtue of being almost literally self-blanching. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 30 cents; 14 pound, $1.00; pound. $3.00. 
XX SELECTED STRAIN 
Golden Self-Blanching Celery 
SEED GROWN BY THE ORIGINATOR. 
# Every practical gardener knows that Golden Self-Blanching celery 
j varies considerably, if examined plant by plant along a row. The aver- 
| age may be good, but some plants are better than others, while here and 
there a plant has reverted and gone back to the green type, from which 
Golden Self-Blanching started originally. Many a gardener has wished 
that every plant in the row might be equal to the best. Every year, for 
several years, I have received some seed from the original introducer of 
this variety in France, which has always excited favorable comment. It 
has always been disposed of at an extra price to a few special customers. 
1 some time ago concluded it was hardly fair to keep this strain for a few 
people only, and have consequently decided to offer it separately from 
my regular stock of Golden Self-Blanching, under the name XX Selected 
Strain. The attention of my customers is directed to the detailed descrip- 
tion of Golden Self-Blanching on this page, and it is not deemed neces- 
Sary to repeat the description here, as the table quality and commercial 
| merits of that famous labor saving variety are universally recognized. 
| ae point to be made emphatic is that I can offer a more beautiful, 
more profitable and a really improved Golden Self-Blanching. Every 
| celery grower should test it, at least in a small way, during 1905. Every 
| desirable trait has been made better and every bad trait has been elimi- 
nated, and the Improved Golden Self-Blanching now offered to the public 
will be found in every way superior to the stock of Golden Self-Blanching 
generally offered, and it is well worth the difference in price. 
Packet, 10 cents; half ounce, 35 cents; ounce, 60 cents; 
quarter pound, $1.75; pound, $6.00; 5 pounds, $25.00. 
T, J. Lewis, Santa Ana, Cal.—Enclosed find money order for $115, tor which please 
send me 20 pounds selected strain Golden Self-Blanching Celery and 5 pounds White 
Plume. I would have sent you a much larger order, had it not been fer some home 
grown seed; but I do not think they will continue to use home grown seed, as there 
is too much green topin it. I had 25 acres this year grown from your last year’s seed 
that had only one stalk of green top in the entire 25 acres. It was the nicest field of 
celery I have ever grown. 
W. M. House, Arkport, N. Y.—Enclosed please find my check for $50.00 for 10 lbs. 
of your XX Selected Strain of Golden Self-Blanching Celery. _I was so well pleased 
with this seed last year that I decided to use no other. I will call the attention of 
celery growers to this strain of celery seed, and do you what good I can in this 
(XX SELECTED STRAIN.) section. I note your offer of 14 books; please send me this library.

GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING CELERY. 
_ Maule’s Extra Early Cucumber. 
First for the Table, Market and Pickling. 
This widely popular cucumber is a cross between 
‘Early Russian and Green Prolific. It has becomea 
general favorite. It has the earliness of one parent 
and the high quality and remarkable prolificness of 
the other. It always grows uniformly, and is seldom 
too large for pickling. The vines are of extra vigor- 
ous growth, with leaves of a dark green color, and 
produce an abundance of fruits. } 
~ This cucumber is one of the best in the world for 
pickling. It is also adapted to the table and to mar- 
“Ket. Its coloris attractive, and it is sweet and tender 
“for slicing. It retains its color well, after removal 
ifrom the vine, and is a good shipper. In its young 
and small state it is a perfect gem for bottling. 
Its extreme earliness is, however, its greatest 
recommendation, making it invaluable. On account 
of its earliness and its very high quality I list it 
among my choicest novelties. ==>

The New Extra Early 
Parisian Forcing Carrot. 
The Radish Carrot. 
This new carrot is of such quick growth that I think a good 
name for it is the Radish carrot, for it certainly matures as 
quickly as a radish. The root is formed much quicker than 
the well-known French Forcing carrot. The illustration 
herewith shows this wonderful carrot, actual size, about three =

hollow crown. Leaves are short and erect, and while small } 
are quite sufficient for early bunching. It has been the first 
carrot on the Parisian market for a number of years, and I 
ean highly recommend it to all my customers who desire a 
small, early, delicious carrot that will mature as soon as 
many varieties of radishes. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 50 cents.
