MANY OF MY CUSTOMERS will not have the time or inclination 

 to compete for the $ i ,000 in cash prizes offered on the first page 

 of my annual catalogue for '98. At the same time, they could very 

 easily persuade one or two of their neighbors to join with them in sending 

 in their orders for seeds this winter and spring; and I wish to call the 

 attention of all my friends to the following: 



You can purchase ^7.^0 worth of seeds in packets remit only ^5'.oo 

 in full for same, and every one making up a packet club order for $7.^0, in 

 addition to receiving the discount of ^2.50, will be entitled to either'one of 

 the two following desirable premiums : 



One Year's Subscription to The Practical Farmer, or 

 One of the Acme Seed Drills, advertised on the opposite side of this circular. 

 The P. F. is the best all around, up to date agricultural publication in 

 America. Make up a ^^.00 packet club, and I will present you with a year's 

 subscription free of charge; or if you prefer, I will deliver you, all charges 

 prepaid, one of the Acme Seed Drills. ^ 



To give you an instance of how liberal my offer is, I give you the ^ 

 following sample order :

 try to make up another $5.00 club in a short time, so as to secure the Acme Seed Drill. 



Yours Truly, Julius Reck. 



There are thousands of my customers who can do as well as Mr. Reck. 

 Please notice Mr. Reck was able to purchase 172 packets of Maule's Vege- 

 table and Flower Seeds for $^.00. He secured as premium, absolutely free, 



one year's subscription to the Practical Farmer, so besides getting the paper ^ 



free, his seeds cost him an average of less than three cents per packet. My W 



1898 catalogue is, I think, as good a book as will be published in the seed ^ 



trade this year ; your neighbors will all be interested in looking over its ^ 



attractive pages, and if you decide to make up one of these ^^.00 clubs I M 



will be glad to send you a couple of extra copies to help in your efforts. S 



Bear in mind this discount of ^7. 5^0 worth of seeds for ^^.00, with a free ^ 



present of either a year's subscription to The Practical Farmer, or the Acme M 



Drill, applies to seeds in packets only, and is not allowed on bulk seed. ^ 



Address all orders to w/y\. HENRY MAULE, 17 U Filbert St., Philadelphia, Pa. ,W
