J for 



I Hit the Nail Right on the Head for 190% 





by presenting you in this most condensed form my Wholesale Price List io truckers, in whicli I 

 offer you the finest lot of seeds ever gotten together by a single American seed house, in a year 

 when owing to short crops, almost every other seed concern is shouting high {jrices. 



Two years ago 1 started to make preparations for my Silver Anniversary in the seed business. 

 With this end in view last season I i)lanted a larger acreage than ever of almost everything, and I 

 go into the season of 1902, notwithstanding short crops, with the most complete line of garden 

 seeds it has ever been my pleasure to offer my customers. 



Take the single item of Gradus or Prosperity Peas, I have more of these peas to sell than all 

 tiie other seed houses in America put together, and the same thing may be said of many other 

 sorts. Above all, notwithstanding the fact that better seeds than Maule's cannot be obtained at 

 any price, I am able hy reason of large stocks of many things, lo quote you herewith most reason- 

 able figures. As I have stated frequently before, I believe in a live and let live policy. Many 

 market gardeners had a hard season in J 901 on account of the unusual weather, too much rain in 

 some places, too little in others, consequently, you all want to make a twenty dollar bill go as far 

 as possible. Never in the history of my business has my early winter trade been so satisfactory; 

 my orders at this writing are running double those of last year, so that although my stocks of 

 many things are extraordinarily large, it looks as if some of them would not last the season out, 

 hence I would respectfully solicit your orders at as early a date as possible. 



Wishing you the compliments of the season, and a Happy and Prosperous New Year, 



I remain, 

 Yours always to command,

I wish to call particular attention to the fact that this price list is intended for truckers only, 

 and by truckers 1 mean those who are regularly in the market garden business, raising vegetables 

 for a living. In no case and under no circumstances will orders bo filled from it tor {>rivate gar- 

 deners, whom 1 would respectfidly refer to my Silver Anniversary Catalogue. 



INotice. Many individual items are <|uoted so low in this Vv'wv List that I will not till 

 orders for them exclusively, as these prices are made for the benefit of my rt^^ular customers wh»> 

 send mo their general order. For instance, I shall doclino to fill all orders received lor Alaska 

 Leas at $5.50 per bushel, when nothing else is ordered; the s.ime thing applies to Proei[>erity, 

 American Wonder, Nott's Excelsior and other i>oas. Wardwell's Kitlney Wax lieans. etc.. etc. 1 do 

 not propose to sell my entire su]->ply of one variety to five or six largo oaniung establishments, etc.: 

 but propose to divide same in small lots among mv many thou.s;uul market gardener customers.
