Greeting 
It is a pleasure to place our new Seed Book in your hands. 
All the new improved Flowers and Vegetables are here and we 
send it with confidence that this year your gardens will be 
more beautiful and yield more plentifully than ever before. 
Our Crop of Seeds this year is about the finest we have ever 
had. We know you are going to be more than satisfied with 
the results you will get. 
For sixty-three consecutive years we have been supplying 
fine quality Seeds to garden lovers. We are indeed proud to 
include you in this big, nation-wide Maule family: a host of 
substantial folks living close to Mother Earth and getting great 
enjoyment from the wonderful Miracles of Nature. 
Can you think of any single item that compares with Seeds 
to return you so much value for so little spent? Not merely 
value in dollars and cents, but value in beauty, in cultural 
enjoyment, and, of course, value in good, nourishing, Vitamin- 
filled foods. 
Show me a well-planned garden filled with blooming flowers 
and I will know a happy family lives there. Show me a family 
that supplies its table with freshly picked vegetables and I will 
know that there is a family with healthy, happy, strong chil- 
dren receiving the finest possible nourishment from Nature’s 
own storehouse. 
This is the American way of life. Families rearing their 
- children in well-ordered homes, beautified by glowing banks of 
colorful flowers, with neatly laid out vegetable patches supply- 
ing the table all summer—with plenty to spare for canning to 
enjoy during the winter months. 
We, in America, are indeed fortunate, and one of our great 
privileges is to cultivate a patch of land, till it with our own 
hands, and enjoy Nature’s bounty to the full.
