MAULE’S NOVELTIES AN 
D SPECIALTIES FOR 1904 9 


New White Lisbon Parsnip. 
This new parsnip from Portugal, will, I am sure, prove a striking and 
parsnip. Shape is well shown in iliustration, on colored plate, which 
is about one-third the natural size. It is fine grained and of Superior 
flavor; in fact, better than any parsnip I am acquainted with. Its 
handsome appearance will attract attention anywhere, and I am sure 
it will please all who try it. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 20c.; 14 1b., 60c.; lb., $2.00. 
Red Globe Wethersfield Onion. 
This handsome onion, so well illustrated on the opposite page, has 
= become very popular in the Northwest. Having had a number of calls 
= for it last season, I grew a supply of the seed, and this year offer it for 
= the first time to my customers. It is the old reliable large Red Weth- 
™ ersfield bred to a globe shape, and while I do not consider it superior to 
ert Street, Philadelphia, Pa., U.S. A. 

® Southport Red Globe, I do not think my customers will make a mis- | 
= take by giving itatrial. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 14 1b., 40 cts.; lb., $1.25. 
New Giant Crystal Head Lettuce. 
This fine new lettuce has become very popular with New York mar- 
ket gardeners, and is really one of the best head lettuces in cultivation. 
The illustration on colored plate opposite gives an excellent idea of its 
size and shape, but fails to show the slight brownish tint on the edge of 
leaves. Of crisp, delicious flavor; on account of its handsome appear- 
ance is always a rapid seller on the market stall. You will do well to 
include it in your order. Pkt., 10 cts.; 0z., 25 cts.; 144 lb., 60 cts.; ]b., $2.00. 
New White Delicious Radish. 
In describing this new half long radish, I cannot do better than refer 
to the illustration on colored plate opposite, which shows this radish 
to perfection. The only thing I have to add is that in crisp, sharp, brittle 
fiavor it has no superior; while the roots are always Smooth and regular 
in shape and solid all the way through, never hollow until they are ab- 
solutely unfit for use. Skin is a pure white. A rapid grower, and one of 
the very best half long varieties. Pkt., 10c.; 0z., 15c.; 44 1b., 40c.; lb., $1.25. 
New Golden Rod Carrot. 
This new carrot is an intensified Danvers, suited to both table and 
stock. It is a half-long, stump-rooted carrot, somewhat deeper in color 
than Danvers and a heavier cropper. The root is smooth, uniform and 
handsome, entirely free from core, with sweet and tender flesh. It 
neyer becomes stringy nor shows rings. Highly recommended both 
3 for table use and stock feeding, and especially desirable for market 
m gardeners and amateurs who wish to grow something choice in quality. 
With ordinary good treatment, Golden Rod will yield close to 40 tons 
z to the acre. Thousands of testimonials in favor of Golden Rod have 
q already reached me, and I am sure that it is worthy of universal trial. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 144 pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.50.

An Early Strain of a Famous Late Sort. 
Everybody acquainted with Danish Ball Head Cabbage, which is 
medium to late, will be interested in this new summer sort. Thou- 
sands of my friends consider Danish Ball Head the cabbage to grow 
for market, and will be delighted with an early or quick-maturing 
Strain of that favorite variety. Danish Summer Ball Head is equally as 
hard as the original type, and its keeping qualities are not surpassed by 
any warm weather cabbage. It is to be regarded as a second-early sort, 
coming to maturity long in advance of the parent type. It closely 
is a little smaller and matures more quickly. Its earliness will make 
it available for commercial purposes all summer, and I believe it will 
prove to be extremely profitable. If it has the same experience as 
the original Danish Ball Head cabbage it will make its way irresistibly 
into almost every market garden in America and hold a place from 
which nothing can dislodge it. The Danish Ball Head is a cabbage of 
peculiar type, with such marked individual traits that nothing else 
resembles it. It belongs in a class by itself, and hence this new summer 
heading strain must be actually tried in order to be understood and 
fully appreciated. Pkt., 10 cts.; 0z., 35 ets.; 14 1b., $1.00; 1b., $3.50.

Cauliflower. 
ESPECIALLY ADAPTED TO RESIST DROUGHT. 
Reaches Perfection when Ordinary Sorts Fail. 
This new strain originated in Denmark, but has been fully tested in 
America with the most happy results. 1 offered it in 1901 for the 
first time, and am well satisfied with its behavior. It produces a 
large, solid, pure white head, maturing a little later than Maule’s 
Prize Earliest. It is in all respects a first-class cauliflower, but is 
especially and peculiarly adapted to dry situations and to resisting the 
| effects of droughts. It will not thrive in poor soil or under bad treat- 
ment, as like all other cauliflowers it requires manure and culture; but 
it will succeed with less rainfall than any other variety within my 
knowledge. It will also do well in moist or wet seasons, making heads 
equal to the best; but it is in dry seasons that its merits appear to best 
| advantage, and I am confident that it will speedily extend the culture 
of this delicious vegetable into locations in which it is now practically 
unknown. Pkt., 16 cts.; 14 oz., $1.00; 44 oz., $1.75; oz., $3.50; l4 1b., $12.00.

Lettuce. 
Our Mr. Dungan was most favorably impressed with this new lettuce 
when visiting the Santa Clara Valley, in California, and came back to 
Philadelphia most enthusiastic in its praises, assuring me I wouid 
make a great mistake if I did not give it a more prominent place in my 
catalogue. It isan improved Big Boston, and when I say this much I 
certainly say a great deal. Coming in about the same time as the Big 
Boston, it makes a larger head and is in every way more desirable.

_ Lobberich’s Agricultural C. 
_ Lobbertch s Agricultural Carrot. 
| I consider this the best field carrot ever offered to American farmers. 
It is of a rich orange color, stump rooted in shape, and grows to a very 
large size. I introduced it to the public some years ago at the per- 
sonal suggestion of a leading French seedsman, and have received 
countless testimonials of its great availability and worth. In 1901 there 


was a failure of the seed crop, and I could not catalogue it in 1902, but 
am prepared to offer it again this year, as the demand for it is wide 
|} and unceasing. It has proved to be a most valuable carrot for stock 
| feeding, and in my own comparative trials it far outyields other sorts. 
Indeed, the claim has often been made that its yield is full 50 per cent. 
jin excess of any other field’ carrot, and I know that there yme 
| ground for this claim. It is remarkably free from toughness, even at 
full size and maturity, while in its young state it may be used for cul- 
| inary purposes, as it cooks sweet and tender.
