22 MAULE’S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1905 
Extra Early 
Summer Savoy Cabbage. 
It is an astonishing thing how few of my customers are 
acquainted with the fact that the Savoy cabbages are far 
§ superior to all others in flavor, and are preferred by almost 
all who have tried them for use in the home garden. This 
variety of Savoy cabbage I secured when in France last 
season, and I list it at the solicitation of one of the most 
prominent seedsmen in Europe. It is very distinct from 
all other Savoys; it is, so to say, an Oxheart cabbage with 
crimpled savoy leaves. It is so short stemmed that the 
heads seem to lieon the soil. It has but few outer leaves, 
which are coarsely crimped, of a yellowish green color. 
It is the earliest of Savoy cabbages, and when sown in the 
spring is fit for use at the same time as other early cabbages. 
Y Packet,gl5 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents. 
Livingston’s 
New Globe Tomato. 
First offered this year. 
Globe shape, with quite a per- 
centage of elongated (stem to 
blossom) fruits, which permits 
of a greater number of slices 
being taken than with flat 
fruited sorts. Among the very 
first to ripen, although of large 
size. Very smooth, firm fleshed, 
few seeds, ripens evenly; color 
a beautiful glossy rose, tinged 
purple; flavor very delicate 
and agreeable. The fruit is 
borne on short jointed, branch- 
ing plants in great abundance— 
literally loaded with fruit. A 
good general cropper, and one 
of the very best for greenhouse 
growing or first early crop on 
stake or trellis. An entirely 
distinct and fixed new sort. 
Offered this season in packets 
only of 40 seeds each. Pkt:, 20c.; 
8 pkts., 50¢c.; 7 pkts., $1.00. LIVINGSTON’S NEW GLOBE TOMATO. 
New Revenue Cow Pea. 
Recently an Illinois nurseryman offered me a limited amount of seed of what he 
claimed to be a new cow pea for table use, and after looking carefully into the matter 
I purchased, at a big figure, his entire stock. 
The originator says: ‘‘The new pea is all I claim it to be. I do not offer it as a field 
pea but as a garden pea. It should be introduced as a table vegetable. The table varie- 
ties of the cow pea are almost unknown out of the South, but are a staple article of 
food there. Such sorts as Black Eye, Lady and Rice are extensively grown for table 
use. Revenue lays all these sorts in the shade. 
“T have had ten years’ experience in testing and crossing the different types of cow 
peas, and I know this to be the most valuable all-round pea ever offered. It is early, 
productive and an extremely rank grower. The green pods are splendid as soup 
beans, delicious hulled and used while green as lima beans, and excellent in the dried 
state, boiled or baked as navy beans, or used in soups. Makes as large a growth of 
vines as the Wonderful. Planted in rows 3% by 4 feet the new pea has made vines 8 to 
15 ft. long, and covered the entire ground to a depth of 2 or 3 ft. with a dense growthof 
vines. It outyields any other pea lam acquainted with. In average seasons Revenue 
matures in 90 days. The pods are fit for use in 70 to 75 days. It is not quite so early as 
Warren’s, but is by far the earliest of all the heavy growing sorts. It will yield more 
peas than any sort I have tested. The peas are large and well crowded in the pods. 
“So productive is this pea that a small packet, planted two peas in a hill, 3 or 4 feet 
apart each way, will produce enough peas for an average family.” 
For sale this year in 2-ounce packets only. Price 15 cents each; 2 packets for 25 cents. 
New Golden Carmine Pole Bean. 
A wonderfully robust grower. The pods are stringless, mottled and streaked with an 
unusually bright carmine color on the bright golden, which gives them a strikingly 
beautiful appearance. Seed direct from the originator. Packet, 10c.; pint, 30c.; qt., 50¢. 
THORBURN’S 
NEW POTATO |{ 
NOROTON |¢= 
BEAUTY. |) 
This new potato, first 
offered this year, is claimed 
by the originator to be the 
earliest potato ever grown; 
by far the most productive extra early, yielding as heavily 
as any of the medium early sorts, handsomer in appear- 
ance and more uniform in size and shape than any other 
variety; table auality superb and it keeps longer than any 
other sort, early or late, and is the best all-round potato 
in existence. I have been fortunate in securing a supply 
direct from headquarters, and take pleasure in offering 
Z —— same at the following prices: Pound, 85 cts.; 2 pounds, $1.50; 
EAUTY POTATO. 4 pounds, $2.75; 8 pounds, $5.00, by mail, postpaid.
