No matter what size your garden or how varied your crops 
there’s one thing that grows in everybody’s plot. That universal 
crop is Satisfaction. Whether you havea half acre with crops 
enough fora whole year’s food or only a little plot to make summer 
meals the bright spot in the season, you'll surely experience the 
warm pride of achievement. 
In addition to this simple pleasure in having accomplished 
something fine and beautiful with your own hands there is the 
compounded satisfaction of having made a substantial saving in 
money. This is no small thing these days with prices of the most 
ordinary items far beyond their actual value. When you reduce 
your constantly mounting expenses by growing your own food, you 
are fighting your own personal battle against unfavorable money 
‘values with something stronger than protests to your Congress- 
man. You are easing a bad situation with a good, home grown 
sak 
os 
remedy. 
Maule’s seeds, like your 1947 garden, carry the reassuring 
guarantee of satisfaction to you. 
Again this year, as in so many years 
past, Wm. Henry Maule expresses 
[FREE SEEDS gratitude for loyalty with a free packet 
of finest flower seeds. This year’s gift will be Pink Queen Cleome. 
Cleome is a particularly fine flower, and Pink Queen is the 
finest representative of the species. This variety was awarded the 
silver medal by All America flower judges, and we are fortunate 
indeed to have been able to grow enough seed to be able to give 
some to every customer. Cleome, also called Spider Plant, grows 
4 ft. tall. It begins to bloom in midsummer and with grace and 
beauty it carries a continuous crown of fairy-like pink and white 
flowers right up to frost. 
As an EXTRA GIFT, in addition to the Cleome, we will 
include a free Surprise Packet of some of our finest flower seeds. 
Remember, every customer will receive these two free packets of 
valuable flower seeds with his order. 
Postal Notes 
We call to your attention a new method of making remittances 
by mail. Postal notes sold by the post office are much more con- 
venient and less expensive than money orders, and they are 
perfectly safe.

The Sign of the Four-Leaf Clover 
Occasionally, through this catalog, the four-leaf clover symbol 
appears after a variety name. This symbol is a guide for you when 
you are uncertain about which variety to choose among several 
in a class. The 8% indicates a double choice. It signifies public 
approval of the variety in terms of quantity purchased; and at 
the same time it expresses our own recommendation of the variety 
for a wide range of soil and weather conditions. 
Maturity Dates 
With each description of vegetable seeds we show the number of 
days to maturity. These figures are an average and were deter- 
mined at Philadelphia. More northern climates generally induce 
quicker maturity, and more southern somewhat slower maturity. 
In the case of tomatoes, and other types started first and then 
transplanted, the maturity is gauged from the transplanting date.
