OR years the premiums annually awarded for prize crops of vegetables, etc., raised from 
Maule’s seeds have been a strilkkimg feature of my business. Thousands upon thousands 
of dollars have been distributed in all sections of the country, from Maine to California, with 
the most satisfactory results to all concerned. Last year Mr, Jas. E. Way, Postmaster, 
Clove, N. Y., from an investment of $3.10in Maule’s seeds in the spring of the year, secured 
$200 in cash, Oct. last, while in 1889, J. Polk Heivner, Augusta, la., from an investment of $3.55, 
received $175, and Mr. A. Fuller, East Ashford, N. Y., from an order amounting to 65 cents 
secured a $100 premium in the Fall of the year. In 1888, Michael Crowley, Muskegon, Mich, 
from an investment of $1.50, secured $150 in cash premiums. ‘The same year forty-eight customers 
in Arroyo Grande, Cal., sent me during the Spring and Winter, $188.55; in October, 1888, three 
of thee forty-eight customers received my checks for $475 for premium vegetables. Consequently, 
my Arroyo Grande customers, from a remittance of $188.55 in the Spring of the year, had $475 
returned to them in the Fall. It is an established fact that while some of my competitors have 
been promising to pay premiums amounting to a few hundred dollars, thousands of dollars in cash 
have been paid and distributed all over the United States among customers of Maule’s seeds, I 
would only add that this system of awarding cash prizes has certainly incited my customers to raise 
extra good vegetables that have surpassed anything ever produced in their respective neighborhoods.
