Long’s White Tartar Oats.

SA these oats have created considerable excitement | Furthermore, they are earlier by several days

Mr. Long so improved the variety in vigor and | field, the latter not yielding as wellas the first on 
productiveness, that it earned the right to be! account of late sowing. There is bound to be an 
properly called Long’s White Tartar Oats. These | enormous demand for this variety this season, 
oats have immense heads of grain, often measur-| and while I have quite a large quantity in store, I

I have often thought it a very important matter to be most particular in filling, packing and 
shipping all orders, large or small, whether they go by mail, express or freight. Every 
package of Maule’s Seeds that is sent through the mail should look as good and be as carefully 
packed as a package of candy costing $1.00 a pound. Such are my instructions, and if any customer 
orders goods by mail from any other seedsman that are put up better than Maule’s Seeds, I would 
like to know it. I haveareputation to maintain in this particular, and do not propose to be 
beaten by any one. Then again, ] am just as particular with my express and freight shipments; 
all my boxes, I am told, are marked better, shipped better and routed better than those of any 
other house in Philadelphia. Every box of any size is always wire hooped. while if an express 
or freight shipment is made in seamless bags, nothing but good sound bags is ever used, double 
tied with the strongest twine. Furthermore, at prices quoted in this catalogue no charge is made 
for packing, for brand new boxes or strong seamless bags, and everything is delivered without 
extra charge on board cars or boat in this city. Duplicate Bills of Lading are always issued on 
every freight shipment and mailed the customer the day goods are shipped. In conclusion, I 
would say that if on receipt of your goods you do not think your package is equal to any you have 
ever received from any one else, no matter what the line of business, [want to know it. Personally, 
I consider I am miles ahead of every one of my would-be competitors in this most important 
matter; if you think 1 am mistaken let me know. 


If you think 
of ordering, 
tread this.
