 Seeds next season. 



My customers are constantly writing to me that they consider I am the t)\ 

 most "liberal Seedsman in the United States. Nothing pleases me better) 

 than this title, for I have always tried to do my best to treat my friends in a gen- 

 rous manner. 1x86 was a big year ; 1887 was a better one, and 1888 far exceeded I 

 even 1887. Xow, the larger business I do, just so much the more liberally can I treat 

 -^oiiy friends : so my business is conducted on what may be called a mutual plan, and all 

 ^ are interested in extending the demand for Maule's Seeds. Last year I had grown for me [ 

 .jrite a number of varieties not listed in this catalogue, which I propose to distribute tic. 

 •in this way ; so I am glad to say that in 1889 I propose to do more in the way of cash prize! 

 and extra seeds than ever before. Last season, in addition to distributing 82,475 in cashl 

 prizes among my customers, I also presented them for trial 214,G:;7 extra packets of the 

 choicest seeds, worth $20,1 20. 55. It is a good deal for me to promise to surpass this record,' 

 '■but, nevertheless. I expect to do so, and in 1889 every order for $2.00 and over may expect a 

 liberal premium, and orders for even smaller amounts may expect a few extra packets. 







H. S. Brown, Salem, Iowa : " The seeds I received from you 

 were all right. They gave good satisfaction. I think every seed 

 grew. I am well pleased with your fairness and liberality. 

 You do better than you say." 



Richard Scorr, Sarasota, Fla.: "I haveal ways found yours Is

 do as well accordingly this year I will have lots of seeds. One

 I sent for $1.00 worth last year: 16.75 this year. If I can do as well
