MAULE'S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1901.

HUNDRED- WEIGHT 

 PUMPKIN. 



THE GREAT PREMIUM TAKER. 



This extra large and handsome pumpkin is a selection from 

 my Prize Potiron, the seeds being 6aved, year after year, only 

 from specimens weighing over one hundred pounds. I intro- 

 duced this valuable mammoth sort to the public some years 

 ago, and have never ceased trying to improve its size and 

 quality by most careful selection of my own stock seed. 



The Hundred-weight Pumpkin will now surpass every other 

 variety in size, specimens weighing 2U> to 250 pounds being 

 neither rare nor unusual. In addition to mammoth propor- 

 tions this strain is of high table quality, the flesh being fine 

 grained and sweet, and of a bright yellow eolor. The outside 

 skin Is of a dark salmon, and the pumpkin is therefore very 

 attractive in appearance as well as in size and quality. Hun- 

 dred-weight is always a prize winner at fairs, and Invariably 

 commands attention and causes comment. It is a valuable 

 thing on the farm or in the garden. It produces but few seeds 

 as compared to its size, and as I reject for seed saving purposes 

 all specimens weighing less than one hundred pounds it will 

 be easy for my customers to realize that I can offer the seed 

 only in small quantities. 



I feel able to say that Hundred-weight Pumpkin is becoming 

 more and more reliable and desirable year by year, and I offer 

 it with greater confidence to my customer than ever before. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents. 



Hundred-Weight 

 Pumpkin. 



Matties Yellow SVoeet 

 Potato Pie Pumpkin. 



A Famous Household Favorite. 



This handsome and high-merit pum pkin, famed 

 as a pie-maker, is one of the most satisfactory that 

 I ever introduced. It has given satisfaction to 

 many thousands of my customers. It is not only 

 a good thing for the kitchen, but on accourt of its 

 quality is an unsurpassed food for dairy cows, and 

 in this way may add as largely to the profits of the 

 farm as though served upon the dinner table. 



The flesh is very thick and fine grained, of a 

 beautiful golden yellow color, and in texture and 

 flavor peculiarly adapted for pie making purposes. 



It is very prolific, a single vine often producing 

 six or eight large pumpkins. As a winter keeper 

 it is unexcelled, as the pumpkins will remain in 

 perfect condition until late in the spring. 



I do not know of anything in the shape of a 

 pumpkin that will be found more satisfactory for 

 the family garden or farm use than Macule's Tel- 

 low Sweet Potato Pie Pumpkin ; but. as its name 

 indicates, it is especially adapted for household 

 purposes. It is sweet and delicate in flavor. 



Weighs ten or twelve pounds on an average, but 

 easily running up to greater weight under good 

 culture. Indeed, it can be made to assume mam- 

 moth poportions, if desired ; and its fine grain 

 and delii ate flavor will remain unimpaired. 



This pumpkin offers an illustration of the result 

 of care in selection. My stock is so well grown 

 that the pumpkin Is better, apparently, each year 

 than the year before. It is now, however, almost 

 perfect, and further improvement will be difficult.

THE JUST-SO RADISH. 



No7i> Offered for the First Time. 

 Named on Account of its Absolute Uniformity. 



This is an entirely new white box radish which I take pleasure in intro- 

 ducing to the public. It is not lacking in any good quality, but its most 

 striking characteristic is its absolute uniformity of growth, both size and 

 shape. Out of a thousand seeds sown I expect to get just a thousand 

 radishes, and all as much alike as peas out of the same pod. This unifor- 

 mity of growth adds to the beauty and market value of the bunched 

 radish, and makes it especially desirable forcommereial purposes. It will 

 be found to be "just-so," every time, and hence its name. 



J ust-so is a white, globe-shaped radish of the highest merit, table quality, 

 general excellence, good appearance and quickness of growth. It is good 

 for forcing and for open-air culture. It is mild, crisp, juicy, 6weet and ap- 

 petizing, and altogether a toothsome and desirable sort. 



I especially commend this entirely new variety to my customers as an 

 extra choice, early radish. Its fine qualities will make it a universal 

 favorite for table use, and its remarkable uniformity of growth will insuie 

 ready sales in the market. Its quick-cropping ability will make it profit- 

 able. Offered this year by the packet only. 



Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 

 $25.00 will be paid Nov. 1, 1901, for the best testimonial 

 received from a customer planting Just So Radish.
