DO not think I can too often call my 

 customers' attention to the fact that 

 the prices in this catalogue on all 

 Garden Seeds INCLUDE DE- 

 LIVERY AT YOUR POST 

 OFFICE OR EXPRESS OFFICE, 

 except prices given on Peas and 

 Beans, by the pk. and bu., on page 

 16. When comparing prices with 

 those offered by other ilealers, it is an important 

 fact to take into consideration that IMAULE'S 

 GARDEN SEEDS ARE DELIVERED FREE 

 OF ALL CHARGES, with the exception given 

 above. Please remember however that 

 Potatoes, Field and Grass Seeds ARE NOT 

 GARDEN SEEDS, and that while I deliver 

 the latter at prices quoted by the pound, all my 

 peck, bushel, and barrel prices are for the goods 

 delivered on board cars in this city, purchasers 

 paying charges. 



RED TOP STRAP LEAF There is probably a 



larger amount of seed of this variety annually sold than of 

 any other turnip. Philadelphia seedsmen for years past 

 have been accustomed to handle it by the ton. consequently 

 it is not to be wondered at that I .should endeavor to 

 offer my customers an extra selected, carefully 

 grown stock of so popular a variety. It is not only one 

 of the best table turnips, but also one of the most desirable 

 varieties for feeding stock. The shape is very well shown 

 in above cut. It has a single tap root, and a bright purple 

 top ; the leaves are short and narrow, and grow erect from 

 the bulb. It will mature good sized turnips 8 to 9 weeks 

 from sowing. It is an excellent keeper, flesh being fine 

 grained and of mild flavor. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 

 cents ; % pound, 20 cents ; pound, 55 cents. 



RED TOP WHITE GLOBE.— This new Turnip 

 I do not hesitate to recommend highly to the atten- 

 tion of all my customers, as it is certainly an acquisition, 

 particularly to all those who prefer a round turnip to a flat 

 one. Of very rapid growth, it matures large sized globular 

 shaped turnips in a remarkably short time. Flesh 

 is pure white, and owing to its rapid maturing qualities, 

 it is always of a pleasant and agreeable flavor. On account 

 of its shape it will yield far greater bulk than Red Top 

 Strap Leaf offered above, consequently it is really a more 

 profitable variety. It is a good keeper, excellent for winter 

 [ use, and its attractive and handsome shape alwavs make 

 ' it a most excellent selling variety. You will make a. 

 mistake if" you do not include Red Top "White 

 Globe in your order. Packet. 10 cents ; ounce, 20 

 cents; % pound, 50 cents; pound, S1.50. 



MAULE'S HEAVY CROPPING SWEDE 

 TURNIP — This magnificent Ruta-Haua, which I offered 

 for the first time last year is unquestionably the most 

 profitable of all Swede Turnips, as well as the hardest, 

 heaviest, best-shaped and most productive. The bulbs 

 always remain sound and good "when flatter varieties will 

 rot. Flesh :s of a beautiful yellow, of the choices! quality 



t and full of nourishment. Undoubtedly the finest of 

 ! all Swedes and a variety that should be sown 

 i in preference to all others. Pkt., 10 cts .; oz., 20 cts • 

 %lb., 40cts.; lb., S1.25. 



The 850.00 premium offered in 1888 for the 



best Heavy Cropping Swede crown from 

 Maule's Seeds was secured by Ceo. F. Mont- 

 gomery. Pownal, Vt., with a' fine specimen 

 weighing 12 pounds 1 ounce.

I again offer $50 for the

 from Maule's Seeds.
