What’s your garden worth to you? $25? $100? $300? No figure 
can be correct, because your garden gives you things that money 
can’t buy and whose worth can’t be measured. 
Of course the money measure is an important one. Most folks 
with a good sized garden can count on saving at least $200 a year 
in money they would have had to spend for food. But there are 
three other things not measurable in cash. Here they are: 
First, what could you do with the time you spent in your 
garden which would be so healthful, and so profitable at the 
same time? 
Second, where but your own garden can you go to pick beans 
off the plant a half hour before you eat them? Fresh vegetable 
are delicious vegetables; stale vegetables can never satisfy th 
man who’s had a garden. Canned peas taste about as much li 
fresh peas as canned milk tastes like fresh milk. ~ 
Third, if you’ve had a taste of Jubilee tomato, or Tender 







bean, or Maule’s Perfection muskmelon, where will you find tHlese 
wonderful Maule specialties on the market? These and 

desirable garden favorites are just not commercial varieties/ and 
if you have found them as toothsome and as hard to forget as 
most people, it would be sad indeed to be without them b¢cause 
you didn’t grow them yourself. 

So a garden is worth money, it’s worth health, and it’s worth 
intense satisfaction to you. Make it bigger and better than 
ever this year. 
Free Seeds 
Again this year, as in so many years past, Wm. Henry Maule 
expresses gratitude for loyalty with a free packet of finest flower 
seeds. This year’s gift will be mixed colors of 
Carnation Flowered Marigolds with odorless foliage. 
Colors in this fine mixture range from deep orange through 
bright yellow to pale primrose. The plants grow 2% ft. tall, and 
the blossoms are 3 in. across, appearing freely over a long bloom- 
ing period. 
As an EXTRA GIFT, in addition to the marigolds, we will in- 
clude a free Surprise Packet of some of our finest and most ex- 
pensive 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 isa guide for you when 
you are uncertain about which variety to choose among several 
in a class. The s¥% 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.

The Maule Guarantee 
We guarantee the vitality and purity of Maule’s seeds and 
bulbs to the full amount of the purchase price. 
We guarantee to refill your order or refund—any time within a 
year—the full amount paid us for seeds, bulbs, or roots, if you 
are not satisfied with the results. 
We send you only the highest quality seeds and bulbs and gladly 
stand back of them. But weather, soil, and care also influence 
crops, so in no case shall we be responsible for any amount beyond 
the sum you actually pay us for the seeds, bulbs, or roots. 
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. 
We Prepay Transportation 
Everything in this catalog is sold with the understanding that we 
will prepay transportation charges anywhere in the United States. 
We may send shipments by parcel post or by express, but in either 
case the prices we list in this catalog show your whole expenditure. 
There are no ‘‘extras’’; everything is prepaid to you when you 
order from this seed book.
