THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1907 



MAULE'S PRIZETAKER ONION. 



I have, personally, looked in various parts of Europe and America for an onion surpassing Prizetaker in beauty, 



productiveness and general merit, and believe there is nothing better in the whole world, unless it be 



the New Commercial. Prizetaker is unexcelled either for home use or as a money maker. 



■Headquarters Stock can be obtained only from Wm. Henry Maule. 



I named and iatroduced this great onion in 1888, and ever 

 since have given it special i^rominence in every catalogue I 

 have issued. Today, nineteen years after it was named by 

 me, it will be found prominently illustrated in almost every 

 catalogue. Some call it Smith's Prizetaker, Brown's Prize- 

 taker, and Robinson's Prizetaker; but no matter how many 

 seedsmen put their names in front of Prizetaker. there is only 

 one Prizetaker, and that is Maule's, named and introduced 

 by me, and for Ave years catalogued by myself exclusively. 



Prizetaker is by far the handsomest, most productive, most 

 popular and best of all Yellow Globe Onions. It is a bright, 

 clear straw color, and always grows to a uniform shape, which 

 is a perfect globe. It has a very small neck, and ripens up 



Packet, W cents; ounce, 20 cents; quarter 



without stiffness of the neck. In market it never fails to 

 attract attention on account of its beauty, and is sure to bring 

 a far better price than any other onion. It is even more at- 

 tractive in appearance than the large Spanish onions sold on 

 the city fruit stands — in fact, takes the place of that variety. 



My predictions made years ago, at the time of its introduc- 

 tion, that Prizetaker would supplant all others of its class, has 

 long since been verified. It has attracted more rdtentioji emd 

 awakened wider and more cordial enthusiasm than any other 

 onion ever introduced to the Ameincaii public. It has proven 

 itself a great acquisition to farmers and gardeners, and is 

 today admitted to be the largest, finest flavored and most 

 superior Yellow Globe Onion under cultivation.

FROM MISSOURI! SHOTV ME. 



Lucy Adams, Verona. Mo.— Your seeds, plants and bulbs are the thriftiest and 

 strongest I have ever used. Have sometimes thought your prices were too high, 

 and would try others for less money, but with far less success. So have applied 

 the old maxim to your seeds— The "cheapest is not always the best, but the best 

 Ib always the cheapest. 



I. C. Gosline, Louisiana. Mo.— I have planted your seeds for years, have also 

 tried others, and have never yet found any that were equal to them in quantitv. 

 quality or germination. They germinate to "a seed, and I have received face value 

 for every dollar invested with you. 



John T. Clark, St. Joe. Mo.— I have bought seeds from you for 15 years, and they 

 have always been just as recommended; have never failed to get a good stand of 

 plants. Have tried seeds from other firms, but never had the same result. 



Mrs. H. C. Brown, Carthage. Mo.— What seeds I use will certainly come from 

 Maule. We have on different occasions, bought small lots of seeds from other 

 seedsmen, but were always disappointed. Promptness in filling orders and care- 

 fully selected seed true to name. I am satisfied is vour motto. 



Laura T. Klipsch. Greencastle. Mo.— I got seeds from three different firms this 

 year; but your seeds are superlative. 



A. .4. Keys. Richland. Mo.— I am now 68 years old. and have planted your 

 garden seed for 24 years. I have found theni. without a single exception, just as 

 represented, and shall continue to patronize you as long as I am able to garden. 



A. Wade, Carnev. Mo.— I have used vour flower and vegetable seeds for a num- 

 ber of years, and'thev are always what you claim them to be. Have planted 

 seed fro"m four different firms; but vours come up and produce best results. 



C. Jones, St. Trancisville. Mo.— We have planted your seeds for 16 years; have 

 also tried others, but have found none that equal yours, 



M, M, Brown, King Citv, Mo.— Anvone planting Maule's Seeds and failing to 

 raise a good garden, is surelv to blame themselves for the failure. The best I ever 

 bought was from Maule; a larger per cent, grows than any other I ever used. 



E.'N. Heaton, Pmithville. Mo.— We have used Maule's Seeds for 14 years, planted 

 them in three different States, and they have always done well. There may be 

 others as good, but we don't care to risk it. 



Mrs. E. Hines. Kahoka. Mo. -I have planted your seeds for 20 years, and find 

 them better than anv I have ever used, 



T. Shipman, Sparta. Mo.— Tour seeds are thrfbest I ever planted; there are more 

 in a package, thev are more sure to grow. and*he best after they grow. 



Mrs. C. G. Hax. Kansas Citv. Mo. -I cannot speak too highly of your seeds. I 

 have used them for vears. and although I prefriouslv sent even to Europe for cer- 

 tain varieties, thev were not to be depended lon like those sent out by you. T'lis 

 vear thev were phenomenal, as conditions were so unfavorable, the soil being 

 a yellow clay; but being a new home T desired to beautify it. so sent for a good many 

 flowers and plants, and to meet my fondest hopes not one failed to come up and 

 bloom in good time.
