A Plain Price List for Busy People Who 

 Are Raising Truck for Sale 



This list contains all the varieties listed in The Maule Seed 

 Book for 1912, to which you can refer for a full and accurate de- 

 scription. The prices named herein, which are a reduction from my 

 catalogue prices, are intended for MARKET GARDENERS and TRUCKERS 

 on]y, and not for private gardeners. 



The past season has been the most disastrous one I have ever 

 experienced in the growth of many stocks planted for seed. This is 

 especially true of Beets, Cabbage, Carrots, Celery (French grown). 

 Peas, Parsley and Parsnips j crops in many cases being an absolute 

 failure and in no case averaging over 26 to 30 %. In consequence, 

 I have had to raise my prices on some of these items, and had it not 

 been for my enormous acreage am afraid I would have been compelled to 

 do as many of my brother seedsmen are doing! Mark in this list "sold 

 out" or offer in very small quantities only. On many items I have 

 been able to reduce my prices or make prices same as last year. This 

 is especially noticeable on onion; the crop warrants quite an ad- 

 vance, but I am offering it at about the same price as 1911 and ex- 

 pect a very heavy demand for seed, having at this early date, booked 

 several thousand pounds for deliverey in January and February. My 

 old customers know I always favor them wherever possible and do not 

 raise prices except when absolutely necessary. 



I wish to Impress on one and all the importance of sending in 

 your orders early, especially in a year like this, of so many short- 

 ages, because when stocks are exhausted they cannot be duplicated, no 

 matter what price is offered. 



This year I have decided that on all orders from this price list, amounting to 

 $10.00 or more, I will prepay all of the freight charges to your nearest railroad 

 station, provided your order is for small seeds only. This does not include 

 peas, beans, corn, potatoes and onion sets, as these are not small seeds. 



Prices on Peas, Beans, Corn, Potatoes and Onion Sets include 

 bags or boxes delivered free on board cars or boat in Philadelphia, 

 but customer must pay transportation charges. 



My business the past season was very satisfactory, and I feel 

 that the high quality of the seeds I send out has been the keystone 

 of success to my vast business, and has been the cause of so many of 

 my customers saying! "Maule Seeds Once Grown Always Grown." 



Wishing you all health, happiness and prosperity in 1912, and 

 thanking one and all of my customer for their very liberal patronage 

 in the past, I remain 



Always yours to command 

 Philadelphia 

 January 1, 1912.
