WM. HENRY MAULE, Inc., PHILADELPHIA, PA. 



70 New Early Wonder Beet 



Extremely Early, Deep Red, Tender and Sweet 

 This wonderful new early beet is the result of years reselect- 

 ing and improving, and is now so perfected that we believe it 

 is one of the earliest and best turnip shaped beets grown. 

 It is much earlier than Crosby's Egyptian and is finer 

 grained, of perfect shape and beautiful, deep red color. The 

 tops are not quite as large as Crosby's Egyptian, which 

 permits close planting and is excellent for bunching; a desir- 

 able early sort for the home garden as well as for market. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; quarter pound, 70 cents; 

 pound, $2.25, postpaid. 



86 Maule's Improved Long Red 



Heavy Cropper and a Good Keeper 



Next to Market King this is the best long red beet on the market, 

 of unexcelled quality for table and live stock. It has yielded twelve 

 tons to the acre. In color it is rich carmine, and in quality it is sweet 

 and tender. In rich ground it may be sown with advantage in June 

 as a second crop. It will not be injured by the 

 October frosts and will produce a great abundance 

 of first-class root food for winter, either for table or 

 stock.

 LONG RED BEET, 



75 Early Bassano 



Excellent for the Home Garden 



A very early flattened turnip shaped variety of 

 beet, producing large light red colored roots, which 

 are of high table excellence. It has white and rose 

 colored flesh arranged in alternate rings. It is 

 tender, juicy and sweet. A very quick growing 

 variety. Should be planted in all home gardens. 

 The light green leaves, which are cooked the same 

 as spinach, are sometimes used for greens.

76 Philadelphia Early Turnip or Lentz 



The Favorite Second Early for Main Crop 



Second early, maturing but a little later than Eclipse. Very rich and 

 sugary, and highly esteemed by all who have ever sown it. Flesh is in 

 alternate rings of light and dark pink, but boils red. It is a smooth 

 variety, with light green small tops, making it suitable for growing 

 under sash. Profitable for market as well as the home garden.

 pound, $2.00, postpaid. 



89 Lucullus Swiss Chard 



The Cut and Come Again Spinach Beet 



This handsome and distinct variety is a great acquisition. The stalks 

 are as thick and broad as rhubarb. The plants grow to a height of from 

 2 to 2% feet, and the stalks are from 10 to 12 inches long below the leaf 

 and 1% inches broad. These stalks are delicious when cooked and should 

 be served in the same manner as asparagus. The leaf portion is heavily 

 crumpled or savoyed and is very crisp and tender. The leafy portion 

 of the foliage is cooked and served in the same manner as spinach. 

 The leaves and stalks, being served as separate vegetables, afford two 

 distinct dishes from the same plant at one time. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; quarter pound, 75 cent*) 

 pound, 92.50, postpaid. 



88 Large Ribbed White Swiss Chard 



Provides "Greens" from Early Spring Until Frost 



It seems American people are becoming more acquainted with the de- 

 sirability of having a little Swiss Chard or Spinach Beet in their garden. 

 This beet is grown for its leaves only. The middle of the leaf or mid rit 

 is cooked and served like asparagus. The other portions of the leaf may 

 be used like spinach. A delicious summer vegetable when cut young, 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; quarter pound, 70 cents; 

 pound, $2.25, postpaid.
