 FOR PACKETS AND OUNCES ONLY. 



I wish to call the attention of my customers to the fact that this discount does 

 not apply to quarter pounds, half pounds, pounds, pints, quarts, pecks, or bushels, nor 

 does it apply to plants, bulbs, small fruits or trees. On completion of your order add 

 the total amount sent for seeds by the packet and ounce, and for each one dollar re- 

 mitted for seeds in these quantities, you may select your own premium on the basis of 

 fifty cents worth of extra packets for each dollar remitted. '"^^ 



$1000 in CASH PR 



iRDER 



THIS MAKES THE TWENTY-EIGHTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR I HAVE OFFERED CASH PRIZES FOR CLUB ORDERS. 



For 1909 the cash prizes will be awarded as follows : 



40 Prizes 



IN ALL 

 VALUE 



For the largest club $200.00 



For the second largest club 150.00 



For the third largest club 100.00 



For the fourth largest club 75.00 



For the fifth largest club 50.00 



For the next five largest clubs, each 25.00 



For the next ten largest clubs, each 15.00 



For the next ten largest clubs, each 10.00 



For the next ten largest clubs, each 5.00 J 



To compete for these prizes the club raiser must mention on 

 each and every order that it is sent me in competition for the 

 cash club prizes; otherwise it will not be counted. 



I have decided to count everything, not only seeds by the 

 packet and ounce, but seeds by the bushel, peck, pound, quart, 

 pint, as well as plants, bulbs, seed potatoes, etc. In fact every- 

 thing listed in this catalogue will be counted this year toward 



these cash prizes. On this account I expect all my old club 

 raisers to take an unusual interest in the competition, and I 

 trust the clubs will be much larger than ever. A single after- 

 noon's work has frequently secured a good prize for many of 

 my customers. Remembering this fact, also the fact that every- 

 thing is counted this year in competition for these prizes, I 

 hope all my old club raisers will start to work with a will. 



Bear in mind that to compete for these prizes you must 

 mention on each and every order sent in that it is in competition 

 for the cash club prizes, otherwise the order will not be counted 

 July 1, 1909, when the premiums are to be awarded. 



A list of last year's club prize winners will be mailed on appli- 

 cation to any one who sent me a club order last season.

'HERE is nothing so conducive to good business as honorable competition. I have never claimed 

 that Wm. Henry Maule was the only one in the seed business in America ; but I want to impress 

 the fact on new readers of this book that nothing pleases me better than to have Maule's Seeds 

 planted alongside of seeds from other reputable houses, and I know the results will always be the same, 

 viz : That while some few may equal Maule's Seeds, none under any circumstances will surpass Maule's 

 Seeds in quality. There may be some others just as good, but there are none better, and I say this advi- 

 sedly after more than thirty years experience in seed growing and seed selling.
