30 — Vegetable Seeds 



THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1909 



Perfected While Phime, 



(XX Selected Strain.) 



This magnificent celery is improving from year to 

 year under high culture and careful selection. It is a 

 truly beautiful type. No other celery naturally turns 

 white upon reaching maturity. All others require 

 blanching with boards or with earth. The Golden 

 Self-Blanching naturally turns yellow, but this one 

 turns white. Not only does the stem whiten, but the 

 leaf itself, especially every inner leaf, assumes the 

 attractive white color. This makes the White Plume 

 Celery one of the most showy ornaments that can be 

 put upon the Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner 

 table. As to succulence, crispness and quality, the 

 Perfected White Plume is all that can be desired.

E. T. Appelman, Orangeville, Pa— I have planted Maule's 

 Seeds over 20 years and find them all right. The Always Heads 

 Cauliflower last year did fine; every one a head. 



Wm. Shearman, Grand Junction, Col.— I have been getting 

 my seeds from your house for the past 6 years and have found 

 them very satisfactory; always as represented. 



Amanda F. Carbin, Wharton, O.— In 1907 I raised your Sure- 

 head Cabbage; and weighed two heads, one tipped the beam at 

 2;i pounds the other 22 pounds; and two of Maule's Blood Tur- 

 nip Beets that measured 2 feet around. I like your seeds; they 

 are true to name. I find no seeds equal to Maule's. 



Mrs. S. C. "Flood, Alma. Ark.— I sent you orders for seeds 

 and plants last year for the first time, and as long as you con- 

 tinue to fill orders promptly, and send seed of good quantity 

 and quality, you will command a good share of my orders. 



A. E. Wright. Lowville, N. Y.— I notice in your catalogue, 

 one party claims to have grown from your seed, cauliflower 24 

 inches around. Pretty good; but I grew some of your Autumn 

 Giant that were 38 inches. Also captured 1st and 2nd prize on 

 vour Heavy Cropping Ruta Baga. Sowed 1 pound of your 

 "Prizetaker Onion and harvested 200 bushels. Found all seeds 

 that I purchased from you O. J£. 



PINK PLUME This is one of the most beautiful 



and best flavored of all the celeries. It is solid, crisp 

 and nutty. Vigorous in growth and not likely to 

 rust. It blanches with almost as little trouble as 

 White Plume. Extremely popular for table decora- 

 tions on account of its beautv. Plst., 10 cts.; oz., 

 40 cts.; % lb., $1.25; lb., $4.00. 



PBRLE LiE GRAND. — Very handsome and 



stocky, of close growing, upright habit, with a golden 



heart. The flavor is sweet. The stalk is large in 



girth and heavy in weight, giving the bunches an 



exceedingly handsome appearance. It may be used 



early or late, as it blanches easily. An excellent 



winter keeper. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; 



% pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50. DWARF GOLDEN HEART. 



DWARF GOLDEN HEART — A reliable half dwarf sort quite similar to 

 Crawford's. It is a famous celery, a strong grower, and a good winter keeper. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; % pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50. 



NEW GIANT PASCAL.— This choice celery partakes of the sweet, nuttv flavor 

 of Golden Self-Blanching, of which it is an offspring. The height is about two 

 feet. The stalks are thick, solid and stringless, andalmost as brittle as glass; fewer 

 in number than in ordinary kinds of celery, but making full weight by reason of 

 width, thickness and succulence. I do not think the color of any celery is better 

 described by the word ivory than this one. It blanches easily and keeps well. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; J 4 pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50.
