MAULE'S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1901. 



The New French Carrot. (Un-named.) 



This new Carrot is an Intensified Danvers. When I say this I am sure it will attract the at- 

 tention of all my customers who propose planting carrots the coming season. I found it m 

 France in the summer of 1900, and was delighted to be able to secure it for my customers. This) 

 half long, stump rooted carrot is of extremely high merit, very similar to Danvers, but of better 

 flavor, more deeply colored and a heavier cropper. The root is smooth, uniform and handsome, 

 entirely free from core, with sweet and tender flesh, never becomes stringy nor shows rings. It 

 is highly recommended both for table use and stock feeding. It is especially desirable for mar- 

 ket gardeners and amateurs who wish to grow something especially choice in quality. The illus- 

 tration herewith gives an excellent ideaof its shape and smoothness, and I predict this new t'n- 

 named Carrot will everywhere yield under good treatment, close to forty tons of roots to the' 

 acre, and that it will prove to be the leading American variety in a very short time. 



A PRIZE OF #100.00. 



I offer this new French Un-named Carrot this year at 10 cents per packet; but a packet will be 

 sent free on request to every person buying seeds from this catalogue to the amount of $1.00 and 

 upwards ; and in addition, every one of my friends receiving a packet will have the privilege of ; 

 suggesting a name for this variety. On Nov. 1st-, 19 )1 I will pay the sum of S1C0 to the person, or 

 persons if there be more than one, suggesting the best name for this new French Carrot. 



NEW LONG LEMON STUMP-ROOTED CARROT. 



Maule's Extra Early Cucumber. 



This cucumber, which is a cross between Early Russian and Green Prolific, has become a gen- 

 eral favorite. It has the earliness of one parent and the quality and proliflcness of the other- 

 it always grows uniformly and is seldom too large for pickling. The vines are of extra vigor- 

 ous growth with leaves of a dark green color, and are enormously productive. 

 It is one of the best cucumbers in the worid for pickling, though it is also adapted to the table 

 and to market. It is good for slicing, being sweet and tender. It retains its color well after re- 

 moval from the vine, and is a good shipper. 



I can endorse it without reserve for the table. It not only makes a standard commercial 

 pickle, but in its young and small state it Is a perfect gem for bottling. 



Its extreme earliness makes it invaluable for both housekeepers and market gardeners, and 

 on account of its very high quality I continue to list it among my choicest novelties. 



Packet, 6 cents; ounce, 10 cents; '4 pound, 20 cents; pound 65 cents: 5 pounds 82.50. 



MAULE'S 

 EXTRA EARLY 

 CUCUMBER 



New Long Lemon Stump-Rooted Carrot. 



A variety of sterling excellence and value; one of my own recent int roductions. It is a carrot 

 which at all periods of its growth is in perfect condition for table use, being as sweet as the 

 Chantenay. It equals the stock carrots in bulk of yield per acre. It is stump-rooted in form, 

 and of pleasing shape and color; as well adapted for domestic use as for market, and admir- 

 able for stock food. It is an astonishing thing that yellow carrots are not more popular in 

 America. Abroad they are esteemed more highly than red carrots, and this is one of the 

 very best yellow carrots grown. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 14 lb., 85 cts.; lb., 81.00. 



AFRICAN HORNED CUCUMBER. 



AFRICAN 

 HORNED CUCUMBER. 



This ornamental and useful vine is a strong 

 climber, and will runover lattice work orarborin 

 a luxuriant manner. The very curious edible 1 

 fruits are about 4 inches long by 2% inches in 

 diameter when fully grown, covered with projec- ■ 

 tions or horns. The color is dark green at first, ' 

 (■bunging finally to orange and yellow; in which 

 condition the cucumbers may be kept for weeks. , 

 The vine is highly ornamental and useful. This 

 cucumber makes excellent pickles. I regard it 

 as a very charming novelty, and recommend 

 It for trial both as a decorative vine and as a 

 useful vegetable. Packet 10 cents. 8 packets 25 cts.
