MAULE’S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1905 











































































































The seed which I offer is a selection from imported 
French Argenteuil stock. My strain is an improvement 
upon the original. In the South it is regarded as dis- 
tinetly superior to Palmetto, and I recommend it with 
great confidence to Northern growers. One experienced 
grower Says that Argenteuil is as much larger than Pal- 
metto as Palmetto is larger than Conover. It has a place 
During the year 1902 I gave the Cumberland cucumber 
a full and careful trial at my Panmure Seed Gardens and 
elsewhere, and am much pleased with it as a pickling 
sort, finding it peculiarly crisp, tender and attractive. 
This cucumber is a hybrid of the Peerless White Spine 
and Parisian Pickling. In it are combined the strong 
growth and great productiveness of one parent with the 
crispness, solidity and attractive appearance of the 
other. It is of the White Spine type; a hardy, strong and 
vigorous grower, and very prolific. The pickles differ 
from other sorts in being thickly set with fine spines over 
the entire surface, except the extreme stem end; and

NEW WHITE FRENCH ARTICHOKE. 
This is an improved form of the well Known Jerusa- 
lem artichoke, producing white tubers. It is entirely 
hardy and a heavy cropper, the tubers being excellent 
for pigs. It is claimed that an acre of White French 
Artichokes will safely winter thirty or more hogs. The 
tubers are not injured by severe freezing, and the hogs 
will root them out whenever the soil is not frozen hard. 
This New White French variety should have wide trial, 
as its numerous tubers are produced but a few inches 
under the surface. Pound, 50 cts.; 3 pounds, $1.25, post- 

of its own in the New York and Boston markets, and sells 
for $1.00 to $2.00 more per dozen bunches than the best of 
the old sorts. It is the most promising asparagus, asa 
money maker, within my knowledge. Pkt., 10c.; 0z., 15c.; 
14 |b., 30¢.; lb., $1.00. l-year-old roots, $1.00 per 100, post- 
paid. By express or freight, l-year-old, 75 cents per 100; 
$9.00 per 1,000. 2-year-old, $1.00 per 100; $6.00 per 1,000. 
first set until fully grown, the form is exceptionally 
straight and symmetrical, thus being as choice a slicing 
variety as itis for pickles. The flesh is firm, but very 
crisp and tender at all stages. The illustration, from a 
photograph, shows its exact form. 
The New Cumberland was originated by Mr. Coy, who 
writes me: ‘*We consider it the best of our productions, 
and expect to see it at the head of the list. We honestly 
believe it is the best pickling cucumber ever produced.”’ 
I can with pleasure endorse everything Mr. Coy has to 
Say about his new cucumber. It is a good variety; pro- 
lific, tender, crisp, and particularly handsome in appear- 
ance. Pkt., 10 cts.; 0z., 15 ets.; 14 1b., 80 ets.; Ib., $1.00.

EARLIANA 



. TOMATO. 
This tomato has be- 
come very popular 
with many growers of 
tomatoes for early 
market, especially in 
New Jersey. There is 
no question but that it 
is a very early variety, 
and one fully deserv- 
ing the remarkable 
newspaper notoriety it 
has had for the last 
two or three years. 
Now as far as I am 
personally concerned 
I am satisfled Maule’s 
Earliest of Al is still 
the earliest of all to- 
matoes. But at the 
same time I am will- 
ing to admit that 
Spark’s Earliana is 
also an excellent early 









given Maule’s Earliest 
for supremacy than 
dozen years. It is cer- 
tainly a fine early to- 
mato, of large size, 
productiveness. I have 
secured a supply of 
seed direct from head- 
quarters, and take 
pleasure in offering it
