MAULE'S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1901. 



NEW MARKET KING BEET. 



While traveling in the County of Essex, England, last summer, I 

 stumbled on Market King by chance, and was immediately impressed 

 with it. So much so that alter considerable trouble; I succeeded in pro- 

 curing a few ewt. of the seed, which I now take pleasure in offering my 

 customers in America for the first time. It is noteworthy on account 

 of great weight, fine flesh, deep color and excellent flavor. It is especially 

 adapted for table use, also held in esteem for market purposes and stock 

 feeding. While it was not planted in my trial grounds at Brist Crest until 

 the latter part of July, my experience with it was such as to warrant 

 me in saying it is worthy of a place in every American garden. 



Market King is a quick gro\ver,and soon reaches maturity but though 



an early beet, it is an excellent keeper. The solidity, fineness and firm- 

 ness of its bright red flesh make it one of lhe best keeping varieties. 



On the point of flavor and table quality, I would lay especial empha- 

 sis, for it is an ideal beet for household use, it can be used at all stages 

 of growth and it is almost needless to say that a sweet and succulent beet 

 like this is sure to become a market favorite. 



The shape and solidity of Market King favorextra heavy cropping,and 

 I introduce it to my customers in the full expectation that it will be 

 both profitable and popular. Except for my knowledge of its high table 

 quality, and great cropping ability, I would not give it so much promi- ( 

 nence in my catalogue. Packet lOcts.; oz., 20 cts.; % lb., 50 cts.; 1 lb., 81.60.

TRUCKERS — ATTENTION. 



- It seems only proper that on a page on which I have the Market Gardeners' 

 Beet, and the Market King Beet that I should call the attention of market gar- 

 deners generally to the fact that I would like to mail to all of them my Special Price 

 List. This Special Price List, however, will be sent only to those who are regu- 

 larly in the business of growing truck for sale, and cannot be sent to private 

 gardeners, even if they apply for it. 



New Mangel Wurzel. 



Giant Half Sugar. 



This is absolutely the best Mangel Wurzel for stock feeding that can be found today 

 not only on account of its wonderful cropping quality, but also on account of the supe- 

 rior and large amount of sugar this beet contains. In comparative trials with Lane's 

 Imperial Sugar, the new Giant Half Sugar has yielded 70 tons to the acre, where Lane's 

 Imperial Sugar has produced only 30 tons. This of itself is a sufficient recommenda- 

 tion to induce every grower of Mangles or Sugar Beets to give it a trial. Giant Half 

 Sugar is of French origin, and to my knowledge, this is the first time it has ever been 

 offered in America. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; % lb., 20 cts.; lb., 50 cts.; 5 lbs. $2.00. 



GIANT HALF SUGAR MANGEL. 



Market 

 Gardeners' 



Beet. 



This new beet is one of the best for general cultivation. 

 The illustration shows its exact shape. It is symmetrical 

 in form, with few fibrous roots and small top. It is larger 

 than Kgyptian. age forage, and continues to grow for a 

 long period, making a large beet for autumn or winter' 

 use. By October it will measured inches in diameter and 

 average C pounds in weight. Only one sowing is necessary 

 to produce early beets for market and a main crop for win- ' 

 ter use. The outside color is deep, blood red; inside color 

 blopd red and light red alternately. When cooked it is of, 

 a beautiful, dark red color throughout; of unsurpassed 

 table quality. Last year my crop of Market Gardeners' 

 Heet was a total failure. This year my supply of this 

 seed Is so limited I can offer it by the packet only. 

 Packet, 10 cents; 8 packets, 25 cents.
