WM. HENRY MAULE, PHILADELPHIA, PA. 



Vegetable Seeds — 27 



as fresh 

 rich soil. 



Culture.— Sow in drills. Cover % to 1 inch deep, ami press soil about seed; afterward thin plants to 

 2 inches Use 2 to 3 pounds of seed to acre; 1 ounce to two feet of drill. Make rows 12 to 18 inches apart, 

 '■ The smaller carrots are also grown under glass, to supply the winter markets. Use well rotted manure, 

 ure makes root crops branch too much. If near a good market, make several plantings, carrots do not demand excessively 

 and often do well on land where a clover sod had been plowed under the year belore. 



THE CHANTENAY This 



variety is a very productive 



one. It has an extra large 



shoulder, Is easily dug, and is 



desirable in all respects. It is 



a stump rooted sort, very smooth, fine in texture and of a beautiful, 



rich, orange color. For table use it is by many considered to be the 



best of all, both on account of shape and quality. The flesh, when 



cooked, is very tender. Pitt., 5c; oz., 10c; '4 lb., 35c; lb., 90c 

 MAULE'S DANVERS This variety is well adapted to all soils 



and sections, and some years leads my whole list in number of 



orders. It is half long in shape, almost cylindrical, somewhat stump 



rooted, and of rich, dark orange color. I claim that it will yield 



-reater bulk and weight for a given length of root than any other 



•carrot now grown. Over 40 tons per acre of Maule's Danvers have 



been grown, and a yield of 25 to 30 tons per acre is not uncommon. 



This is a widely popular and successful carrot. Paclcet, 10 cents; 



ounce, 15 cents; '^ pound, 25 cents; pound, 90 cents. 



MAULE'S IMPROVED LOIJG ORANGE Mine is, I think, the 



•-t longest and purest strain of the well-known Long Orange carrot 



on the market. The roots are of large size, and are smooth, fine 



■-•rained and in all respects superior. Except in soil treated to raw 



stable manure, which makes all root crops rough, this carrot is al- 

 ways well formed. The color is deep orange, as indicated by the 



name. Enormous crops can be grown under good culture, particu- 

 larly in a deep, light soil. Packet, 

 10 cts.; ounce, 15 cts.; '( pound, 

 25 cts.; pound, 90 cts. 



EARLY HALE LONG SCAR- 

 LET. — This stump rooted variety is 

 coreless. The flesh is of a bright 

 orange color. It is early, has a smooth skin, 

 and is most excellent for table use. A good 

 variety for both home and market gardens. 

 It will mature in comparatively shallow soil.

LOBBERICH'S AGRICULTURAL. — 

 Considered the best field carrot ever offered 

 ; to American farmers. It is of a rich orange 

 i color, stump rooted, and grows to a very 

 large size. I introduced it some years ago at 

 the personal suggestion of a leading French 

 seedsman, and have received countless testi- 

 monials of its great availability and worth. 

 It has proved to be a most valuable carrot for stock feeding, 

 and in my own comparative trials it far outyields other sorts. 

 It is remarkably free from toughness; while in its young state 

 it may be used for culinary purposes, as it cooks sweet and 

 tender. Pitt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; % lb., 35 cts.; lb., 90 cts. 



G. W. Hollister, Cornwall, Ont., Can.— Your seeds are the cleanest and 

 most fertile of any I have ever grown, and during the years I waB in the 

 market gardening business I bought seeds from many different firms on 

 both sides of the line. 



Eev. P. H. Nickle, Albion, Pa.— I have used your seed for about 20 years, 

 and for years have had the credit of having the best garden in the neigh- 

 borhood. The credit was due to your seeds, Panmure Fertilizer and 

 thorough cultivation. Maule's Earliest was again this year the first and 

 finest in the market. Two years ago I sold $136.00 worth'from 106 plants. 

 It is the best early tomato in existence as far as I know. 



Ebb. Watson, Greenwood, Wis.— I like your seeds and your honest, 

 upright wav of dealing with your customers. You are of the Montgom- 

 ery Ward <-'o. stripe of Chicago, with whom I have dealt more or less for 

 30 years, and every complaint has been settled to my entire satisfaction. 

 I got in too much of a hurry this spring to plant my seeds and a great 

 many of them rotted; but that was my fault and I will have to plant them 

 over. I am well pleased with your seeds and the treatment I receive 

 from you, and extend to you my best wishes; and as long as I garden, my 

 seeds will come from you, I assure you. 



OXHEART,- This carrot is a spienuid son. 

 In length it comes between Early Scarlet Horn 

 and Half Long Scarlet. It runs fully 3 to 4 

 Inches In diameter, and specimens have been 

 raised measuring over 7 Inches In diameter. In 

 quality it is extra good, and will prove satis- 

 factory for home use and profitable for market. 

 Oxheart can be easily pulled, which makes the 

 harvesting of this variety quite inexpensive. 

 If you want an early, handsome, ready selling 

 carrot, this sort will suit you. As it Mill yield 

 as heavy a crop as the Danvers, with this ad- 

 vantage, that it can 

 be grown thicker and 

 can be raised on 

 stonier land. Flit.,

 riety of carrot long

 to all growers. It Is

 for forcing. Consid- 

 ered by many people 

 to be the best early 

 table sort. The flesh

 color a deep orange. 

 It has small tops, and 

 grows well in shal- 

 low soil. It matures 

 8 to 10 days sooner 

 than Long Orange.
