MAULE'S GATEPOST.- 



of the very finest Mangels ever introduced, 

 giving unbounded satisfaction wher- 

 ever grown. The crop is very uniform and 

 the roots heavy, handsome and clean, 

 with single tap root. In 1889 a Gatepost 

 weighing 39 pounds, raised by Mrs. Irene 

 D. Hall, Orange, Cala.., secured the 8.50.00. 

 In flavor they are wonderfully rich and 

 nutritious. With good cultivation will 

 crop at the rate of 2,500 bushels per acre. 

 Particularly recommended to graziers. Pkt 

 5c, oz., 10c; \L lb., 20c; lb.. 50c: 5 lbs 82 

 NEW GIANT YELLOW INTER- 

 MEDIATE. -This new and entirely dis- 

 tinct strain is sure to make a mark for itself 

 among all growers of Mangel Wurzels. It 

 has a magnificent root, which is easily lifted 

 from the ground, produces enormous crops, 

 and has proven itself to be a most excellent 

 keeper. It la certainly a novelty of 

 sterling; merit, as can be seen from the 

 illustration, it grows more than half above 

 ground, is remarkable even in shape, rather 

 elongated in form, and of most vigorous 

 habit of growth. Has a fine neck, large 

 leaves with green stems, and a very fine 

 smooth skin. Flesh is firm and sweet, and 

 much liked by cattle. No farmer who has 

 ever grown beet roots for stock should 

 neglect giving this new giant mangel a 

 thorough trial this season ; if they do I am 

 confident it will come up to if not, indeed, 

 surpass their highest expectations. Pkt., 5c; 

 oz., 10c; 3/ 4 lb., 20c; lb., 50c; 5 lbs., 82.00. 



Always sign your Name. \ 



/ - 



cannot too strongly Impress upon my customers the 



mportance of signing their fall name, county and 



state to every letter. During the last five years I have 



^ received over $5000 from people whose orders I was 



not able to nil, simply because they neglected to sign their names, or give their Post-Office 

 addresses, and the postmarks on the envelopes were too indistinct to discover where the letters 

 came from. The persons who sent me this $5000 are certainly laboring under the Impression that 

 I am in business simply to grab all the money I can obtain without making any return for it. 

 People with such an opinion will of course not help my business, so there is no one more interested 

 in this matter than myself. 



I TRUST EVERY ONE OF MY FRIENDS WILL. BEAR IN MIND TO SIGN THEIR FULL. 

 NAME AND POST-OFFICE, COUNTY AND STATE, TO EACH AND EVERY COMMUNICATION.
