MAULE'S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1901.

Golden Self-Blanching Celery. 



XX SELECTED STRAIN. 



The Genuine Originator's Stock. 

 French Groivn Seed 'Direct from Headquarters. 



Every practical gardener knows that Golden Self-Blanching celery 

 varies considerably, if examined plant by plant along a row. The aver- 

 age niav be good, but some plants are better than others, while here and 

 there a plant has reverted and gone back to the green type, from which 

 Golden Self-Blanching started originally. Many a gardener has wished 

 that every plant in the row might be made equal to the best. Every 

 year, for several years, I have received some seed from the original in- 

 troducer of this varletv in France, which has always excited favorable 

 comment. It has always been disposed of at an extra price to a few- 

 special customers. This vear I concluded it was hardly fair to keep this 

 strain for a few people only, and have, consequently, decided to otter it 

 separately from my regular stock of Golden Self-Blanching, under the 

 name XX Selected Strain. The attention of my customers is directed 

 to the detailed description of oolden Self-Blanching on another page, 

 and it is not deemed necessary to repeat the description here, as the 

 table quality and commercial merits of that famous labor saving va- 

 riety are universally recognized. The point to be made emphatic is that 

 I can this year offer a more beautiful, more profitable, better and 

 stronger Golden Self-Blanching than has heretofore been in my cata- 

 logue; and I think every celerv grower should test it, at least in a small 

 way, during 1901. Every good thing has been made better and every bad 

 thing is eliminated, and the Improved Golden Self-Blanching now of- 

 fered to the public, will be found in every way superior to the stock of 

 Golden Self-Blanching generally offered, and it is well worth the differ- 

 ence in price. Owing to my limited stock I cannot agree to sell more 

 than 3 pounds of XX Selected Strain of Golden Self-Blanching Celery to 

 one customer. ' __.„

GOLDEN SELF- BLANCHING CELERY. 



New Rose Ribbed Paris Self-Blanching Celery* 



The Most Beautiful of all Pink Celeries. 



This superb celery is of a beautiful light golden yellow color, distinctly striped with pink. It 

 is a sport of the celebrated Golden Self-Blanching celery listed above, hence, it finds a fitting 

 place on this page. Pink celeries are gradually becoming more and more popular; and in all 

 large cities are more largely used for decorative purposes. As stated above, the New Rose 

 Ribbed is, in my estimation, the most beautiful of all pink celeries, hence, it is especially desir- 

 able for table decoration. It is as easily grown as Golden Self-Blanching, and like its parent may 

 be quickly blanched by means of a single hilling. It is a good keeper; the individual leaf stalks 

 are thick, brittle and of fine texture. They grow to a height of about 15 to IS inches. The illustra- 

 tion herewith gives an excellent representation of the proportions and markings of this beauti- 

 ful and desirable celery. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 

 35 cents; % pound, S1.00; pound, S3.50. 



Evans' Triumph Celery* 



Absolutely the Best Late Sort. 



There is no question about it that Evans' Triumph 

 is about the best of the late celeries. The claims of the 

 introducer that it "will keep longer than any other 

 sort, and that it is by far the best of the late varieties," 

 have been sustained in my trials at Briar Crest, where 

 Evan's Triumph has come through with glowing col- 

 ors. It is of medium high stalk, that is large, solid, 

 crisp, tender and of the highest table quality. It 

 blanches well, and is very handsome for decorative 

 purposes. With my XX" Selected Strain of Golden 

 Self-Blanching and Evans' Triumph in your garden, I 

 am very sure your celery next fall and winter will be 

 far and'away ahead of your neighbors who do not sow 

 Maule's Seeds. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 30 cents; 

 li pound, S1.0J; pound, S3.50. 



Inducements to Customers. 



Never in any one year have I been able to offer so 

 many inducements to my customers as this season. 

 If you have not already noticed it, I wish here to 

 call your attention to pages i and 5. The seven 

 books mentioned should be in every home this cat- 

 alogue reaches. They have received the enthusias- 

 tic endorsement of both press and public, and the 

 entire seven make a complete library that will be 

 found useful, desirable and interesting every day in 

 the year. See special offer at the bottom of page 

 5, how you can obtain one or all of these 

 books absolutely free of cost.
