WM. HENRY MAULE, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Vegetable Seeds—48 
In demand every month of the year. One of the most profitable crops grown by market gardeners. 
LETTUCE CULTURE.—Start the seed in boxes, frames or borders, and transplant once or twice, giving a space of 7x7 inches up to 
@ 19x12 inches, depending on variety, for final development. Extra rich, mellow ground, the highest culture and sufficient 
moisture are demanded for best results. The lettuce is hardy, but makes little growth when the mercury is below 40°. When much above 65° the 
plant quickly becomes drawn out of shape. Sow shallow. One ounce will sow 300 feet of drill, 4 to 5 pounds for an acre. 
» immensity Lettuce 
This new lettuce is claimed to be with- 
out exception the very largest lettuce in 
cultivation. Notwithstanding its great 
size it is tender, sweet and crisp. It. pro- 
duces a fine large, solid head, often 3 feet 
in circumference and 12 inches in diam- 
eter. It has great heat resisting qualities, 
being slow to run to seed, so that it is very { 
reliable for a late crop when many other 
sorts are unfit for use. Do not be preju- 
diced on account of the great size of Iin- 
mensity, as it is not coarse, even the outer 
leaves being tender. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, VW A ( a)

Maule’s Success 
This new variety was offered in 1906 for the first time. 
The introducer has this to say about it: ‘Among the many 
_ varieties of lettuce introduced, none can claim the hardi- 
Z ness of Success. The hardy sturdiness of the plants adapt 
jj them for early spring planting, or cold frame culture. 
Planted in May it produces large, splendid yellow heads in 
June, continues to grow to an enormous size till beginning 
of July, and stands still till end of July or beginning of 
August before bolting to seed. From the centre to the 
outside solid heads are formed, packed with crisp, tender 
and savory leaves, slightly tinged with brownish red. Suc- 
cess must be planted further apart than any other variety 
on account of its large size. The heads, cut for market, can 
be kept fresh for a long time, a quality which renders it 
invaluable for the market gardener.”’ I have grown a good 
NE crop of this variety and offer choice seed from originator’s
