ALWAYS GROWN 

The First Consideration 
The thing for the seed customer to consider is 
Quality. Of what use isaseedif it cannot become 
a plant? When you buy Maule’s seeds you are 
investing in plants rather than seeds. You are 
buying a garden. 
The quality of seeds is difficult to ascertain. 
Good seeds and sterile seeds are alike in appear- 
ance. The prospective customer’s guide to qual- 
ity is to be found in one thing only: the character 
and reputation of the house behind the seeds. 
Maule of Philadelphia 
For 46 years Maule’s seeds have been recog- 
nized as representing the utmost in seed quality 
and guarantee of growth. Many successful 
planters, in all parts of America, have used 
Maule’s seeds year after year all their gardening 
and farming lives. This is because Maule’s seeds 
bave never yet, under proper conditions, pro- 
duced anything but satisfactory results. 
The 1923 Maule’s Seed Book isa guiding beacon 
to safety for you. : 
A Tonic Pleasure 
Probably no one in the world has ever been 
happier than the men who have spent their 
lives close to Nature. What the late John L. 
Burroughs thought of the tonic value of garden- 
ing is well known. Bruce Barton, the author, 
Says that one of his favorite books for Winter 
evenings is the seed catalogue, planning for 
Spring. ; 
A garden growing for a man his own vegeta- 
bles, making him in a sense, independent, his 
Own source of food supply, aids self-reliance as 
nothingelsecan. Outdoor exercise is healthful; 
fresh vegetables are essential to health. 
Research Work in Seeds 
In the fertile soil of Newfield, N. J., is main- 
tained the Maule’s Seeds Experimental Station 
where new natural wonders in seeds, and per- 
fected strains, are constantly under develop- 
ment. 
Here, too, all varieties of Maule’s Seeds under- 
go the most rigid sort of practical tests under 
varying climatic thermometric soil and moist- 
ure conditions. And every lot of seed is again 
tested for germination.
