^VV3Y old customers are well acquainted with the fact that for many years 



\ 1 I past, in other words, since 1883, it has been my custom to annually 



-«■' I >" award, July 1st, of each year, a number of cash prizes to those of my 



friends sending me the largest club orders for MAULE'S SEEDS. I would 



call the attention of new readers of this book to the fact that I never believe, 



as some others do, ot offering premiums and then not publishing the names of 

 those securing the money. During the last ten years I have paid out for prize 

 vegetables and club orders an amount of cash fully four times greater than 

 that offered by all the rest of the American seed trade put together. Below will 

 be found the names and addresses of the 9i successful club raisers of 1892.

Last year when I increased the first club prize from $250 to $500, it will be remembered, I told my customers that 

 there was no question but what a club smaller than the amount of the prize would capture the $500. As will be seen 

 from the above list of prize winners, such proved to be the case. This does not, however, discourage me in the least, 

 and it will be noticed below that the first club prize of $500 is still continued, and that July 1, 1893, $1500 will again be 

 divided among the ninety=four successful club raisers sending me the largest club orders for packets and ounces of 

 MAULE'S SEEDS up to that date. 



All will admit this is a large amount of money. Until you have once tried 

 you can have no idea how easy it is to have your neighbors join you in ordering 

 their seeds. It is simply astonishing that more of my customers do not work for 

 these cash prizes. I know most of the prize-winning clubs during the last ten 

 years have been secured with but little trouble. One good afternoon's work has 

 secured frequently a cash premium, besides giving the club raiser the benefit of 

 my largest discounts on seeds in packets, 815.00 for 810.00. With the reputation 

 Maule's seeds have in all sections of the country for reliability and purity, ami 

 with this bright new catalogue filled to overflowing with so many good things 

 you and your neighbors want, will you not try it ? Don't be discouraged if you 

 do not get an order just at first. The first two or three orders will be harder to 

 secure than all the others. Somebody is going to secure that 81500 July 1st. 

 Why should you not receive part of it ? I have no secret terms to agents. I try 

 to do everything open and above board. Every reader of this catalogue can go 

 to work and raise a club for Maule's seeds, knowing that no one has better terms 

 than he. Remember all the orders you send, big or little, will be counted up 

 July 1st. Even if you should not be so successful as to secure a cash prize, you 

 can, by making up a 810.00 club, secure my greatest discount on seeds in packets. 

 Always remember that for a 810.00 bill you can select seeds in packets to the 

 value of 815.00. Should anyone desire a few extra catalogues to help them in 

 canvassing, I will only be too glad to mail them. Let all enter this friendly 

 competition determined to win. Don't try for a small prize, go for that 8500. It 

 is worth an extra effort, and anyone who puts in a week or ten days of good 

 solid work has an excellent chance of securing it. Every one who makes even 

 a small effort ought to, and can safely, I think, depend on being one of the 91 

 whose names will be published in my annual catalogue for 1894. Bear in mind 

 every order you send me for packets and ounces of Maule's seeds will be counted 

 July 1, 1893, when the prises will be awarded, as announced opposite.
