GOLDEN CUSTARD SQUASH. 

W. B. Wait, New Castle. Pa.—I purchased my seeds from you last year and am 
more than pleased with the result; everything I got from you grew satisfactorily;

vines and raised 22 fine squashes. 
Mrs. E. P. Kipp, Ellendale, Del.—This is 21 years that I have grown your seeds. 
| Your Earliest of All Tomato is fine and rightly named, and your Delicious Squash 
is also true to name. 
John N. Jaeger, Washington. Mo.—Taken all round I must say that Maule’s

means 2 safe investment. Good as gold.
