MAULE'S SEEDS j^VERY pre- 

 "Proved Before caution, that 



You Plant Them." I'es within hu- 

 man power, is 

 taken to assure our customers vigor- 

 ous and prolific crops. Every lot of 

 seed that enters our warehouse must 

 show a tremendously high percent- 

 age of germmation before a single 

 seed of the lot is sold. Other tests 

 for purity, productiveness, etc., are 

 constantly being carried on in our exten- 

 sive trial grounds at Newfield, N. J. 

 We have, furthermore, made it our practice to understate 

 rather than to overstate in our catalogue the merits of the goods 

 advertised. The economy of securing your seeds direct from 

 us, instead of through other dealers, and the greater freshness 

 of the seeds are advantages almost too obvious to mention.

PROFITABLE AND every day from your own garden 



HEALTHFUL EXERCISE, at no cost, except a few dollars for 



seeds and an hour or two of health- 

 ful and interesting work every day or so! Aside from the 

 saving in money, the outdoor exercise, and the pleasure of 

 tending ."growing things" it will more than repay your efforts. 

 No yard, no bit of waste land, is so small that it cannot 

 become a luxuriant garden or a little paradise of flowers — 

 making your home more of a home than ever.
