Quotation from ‘‘Horticulture,?? a 
weekly Boston publication, issue of 
May 7, 1910: 
Maule Expands 
“For several years Wm. Henry Maule, 
the well-known mail order Philadelphia 
Seedsman, has worked under a handicap 
for lack of room. A considerable part of 
his seed business has been carried on in a 
building owned by him on Market Street, 
and in which are the offices of his paper, 
The Practical Farmer. Recently Mr. Maule 
has leased the building immediately ad- 
joining his main office at 1711 Filbert street 
and, as this will give him five additional 
floors, it wil! help to solve the problem he 
has been wrestling with for several years. 
He Proposes tO cut doors through from 
his building into the next on each floor, 
and when his plang are perfected he will 
be able to employ a larger force during the 
annual spring rush, and will probably be 
prepared to take care of all business within 
twenty-four hours after his orders are re- 
ceived. 
‘Mr. Maule {s one of the most progres- 
sive and, it may be added, aggressive men 
in the seed business, and there are few im- 
provements of a practical character that 
he does not avail himself of.”
