OFRCE OF 



WM. HENRY MAULE, Inc. 



21st and Arch Streets Philadelphia, Pau 



W 



E wish to extend our thanks to our many friends whose trade has helped us build 

 up what is probably America's largest direct-to-planter seed business. 



Maule's Seed Warehouse. 



War Conditions Necessitate Early Orders This Year 



We suggest that all orders be sent us as early as possible. On account of the war, 

 those varieties of seeds which were formerly imported from abroad, are particularly 

 scarce and, in spite of our large stock, it is possible that the entire supply of these 

 varieties may become exhausted early in the season, so that it will be impossible to 

 obtain them anywhere. In some cases too, home seed crops have not been as 

 large this year. 



As you know, freight, express and even parcel post are somewhat slow at 

 present, owing to congestion, and last minute orders may cause delays and 

 inconvenience vou. 



Reduced Prices to Market Gardeners 



For years it has been our policy to. sell to market gardeners 

 at reduced prices. Not since 1889 have we sold through re- 

 tail dealers. Both our customers and ourselves have found 

 this direct-to-planter selling method a real advantage, insuring, 

 as it does, economy and fresh seeds. 



Terms 



Cash with order or satisfactory bank reference. Money may 

 be sent by post office or express money order, draft or check. 

 Postage stamps will be accepted as cash. If you remit in stamps 

 or cash, register your letter. We will send C. O. D. by parcel 

 post or express, orders amounting to $15.00 or over if one- 

 fourth of the amount of the order is remitted with the order. 

 We cannot send C. O. D. by freight. Half pounds may be 

 ordered at pound rates; half pecks at peck rates; half-bushels 

 at bushel rates. 



Shipping Charges 



Prices quoted in this list include bags, boxes or barrels and 

 are f. o. b. Philadelphia, unless your order is for small seeds 

 amounting to $10.00 or over. In this case we deliver it pre- 

 paid at your nearest freight station. Freight is not prepaid 

 on orders containing heavy seeds, such as peas, beans, corn, 

 potatoes, roots, vegetable plants or onion sets. 



Sometimes you can save money by having your order sent 

 parcel post. In computing parcel post charges, allow one 

 pound to each quart of sweet corn and two pounds to each 

 quart of peas or beans. Figure the number of pounds order- 

 ed and ask your postmaster the rate on same from Phila- 

 delphia. Remit cost of postage with your order. 



We Will Ship Your Order Any Time 



You will find it advantageous to order all the seed you will 

 need at once, so as to have your full supply reserved. If you 

 wish, we will ship the seeds for early planting at any date you 

 name, and hold the balance of your order to be shipped later.
