VEGETHBLES = GENERAL List. 
N the preceding pages will be found only a few of my leading Specialties. In the following pages, from this one up to page 
| 60, will be found, in addition to all the good old stand-bys, many sorts that may still be considered decided novelties in 
many gardens ; in fact, the cream of all varieties known to the American Seed trade. You will find no Skmi-mILK in 
this book. The list is not as large as that given in many catalogues, but I have winnowed the chaff from the wheat. I have 
for years past cut out all the surplus varieties, with the idea of offering only the best, and thus condense the list, so it will not 
confuse the market gardener, let alone the private gardener. It is rank injustice to offer the same variety under half a dozen 
different names, and it is almost as bad to list an endless number of sorts, for which there is no demand. All can rest as- 
sured that I have omitted nothing worthy of a place in the following pages. First of all, I wish to call attention to my

= fer to last years Club Prize List, you will see that a $23.00 club secured a $10.00 cash prize last July. The same thing 
is liable to occur in ’94, so any one taking this catalogue among their neighbors and securing orders for $50.00 worth 
of seeds in packets, need remit me only $25.00 cash in full for same, and in addition you are liable to receive a cash 
prize of $10.00 or more next July. In other words $50.00 worth of seeds in packets may cost you only $15.00. 
Does any other Seed Company in America Treat Theit Customers so Liberally ? 
EVERY AGENT who has ever solicited for Maule’s Seeds has been surprised at the results, and the satisfaction 
the goods always give their customers. This year I hope the tremendous discount offered above will enlarge this 
department of my business considerably, and with this end in view I have put up the following 
AG ENTS’ 2 Copies of this Catalogue. 12 Order Sheets. 6 Printed Re- 
mums «(CUD Envelopes. 12 sample copies of “The Practical Farmer.” 
OUTFIT. 5 Sample Packages of Vegetable and Flower Seeds, to show 
the general style and get up of the same. Price, 50c., postpaid. 
I will send this complete outfit, postage paid, to any one writing they wish to makeup a club, and 
remitting 50centsin stamps. This 50 cents to be deducted from the first $25.00 order sentin. If you 
cannot make up aclub yourself, I am sure there is some member of your family who would be delighted to make a 
little extra pocket money. Tbree or four days’ work in almost any neighborhood will surely secure orders for 
$50.00 worth of seeds in packets, which will entitle the sender to $25.00 discount, and in addition may secure the 
club raiser a $10.00 cash prize July next. I trust thousands of the readers of this book will avail themselves 
of this exceptional opportunity, and all can rest assured they will never regret the venture.

way and are very easily grown. If desired, they need not be dug, but the hogs can be turned in the field to root I 
them up; in this way, one acre will keep 20 head in good condition until Spring, excepting when the ground is fro- ) 
zen too hard for the hogs to root them up. To destroy them the ground should be plowed when plants are a foot MN!

MAULE’S MAMMOTH.—This variety, I consider, excels all others, not onlyin 
tenderness and flavor, but also in productiveness. It throws an unusual number of 
strong, well-developed shoots the entire season, and it has sold in Philadelphia mar- 
kets for four times the price of othersorts. At three years old has yielded crops 
valued at $500 per acre. PkKt., 10c.; 0z., 20c.; Y% Ib., 50¢.; lb., $1.80. ROOTS, 1 year old,

COLUMBIAN MAMMOTH WHITE.—The introducers, one of the most promi- 
nent firms engaged in the seed business in the country, describe this new variety as 
follows: ‘An entirely new and magnificent variety of Asparagus, which is sure to 
be in great demand, because it furnishes white shoots which stay white as long as 
fit for use, without earthing up or any other artificial blanching; and because it can 
be absolutely depended on to give 80 to 90 per cent. of white plants from seed. This 
® grand novelty has been brought to its present state of perfection by one of the largest 
and most experienced growers of Asparagus in this country, by many years of care- 
ike selection from a single plant found in one of his fields of Conover’s Colossal.
