This is the most important announcement 

 we have made to seed users in all our 47 years' 

 experience as Seedsmen: From now on we 

 will concentrate our efforts exclusively on the 

 production and handling of Seeds, Roots and 

 Bulbs of the highest quality . Thus we can offer a 



Better Seed Service to You 



To do this it is necessary for us to discontinue the handling of Growing Plants, 

 Nursery Stock, Rose Bushes, Implements, Insecticides and Fertilizers. For 

 many years we have handled these items, which have been produced for us by 

 other concerns. Consequently, we could not have complete control over 

 them. Growing plants and nursery stock could not be shipped before the 

 proper planting time. This caused a rush of shipments at the last moment 

 and we could not avoid delays in transit or guarantee delivery in good condition. 



Make This 1924 Seed Book Your Guide 

 to Planting Success 



Look over this catalog from end to end. Then we are sure old friends as well as new 

 readers will admit that it is the most business-like seed catalog ever published. More 

 than 500,000 of the best gardeners in America know just what Maule's Seeds are because 

 they have tried them. For the past ten years this business has increased by leaps and 

 bounds far beyond our expectations, for which we have to thank our 500,000 friends 

 and fellow-gardeners who know Maule's Seeds. That is because actual growth has proved 

 that there are no better seeds than Maule's. So confident are we that our seeds will please 

 the most exacting customer that every item in this book is backed by our Guarantee of 



Money Back If You Are 

 Not Satisfied 



That means every customer must be thoroughly 

 pleased in every respect. If you send us an 

 order and it is not satisfactory, We want you to 

 let us know. 



We hope every new reader of this book will send 

 us a trial order, no matter how small,' or how far 

 you live from the headquarters of Guaranteed 

 Seeds — Wm. Henry Maule, Inc., Philadel- 

 phia, Pa. 



A Few Words About 

 Crops and Prices 



Labor conditions on the farm are the worst in the 

 country's history. This applies to seed farms as 

 well as to general farming and gardening. This, 

 combined with bad weather conditions during the 

 past season, has caused a shortage in many vari- 

 eties, particularly Beans, Beets, Carrots, Lettuce, 

 Onions, Peas, Radishes, Vine Seeds, etc., as well as 

 a nurriber of varieties of flower seeds. For this 

 reason we have been compelled to advance prices 

 on some of the things in this book, but only in 

 cases where necessity required it. 



Send Us Your Order Early 



We have spent several thousand dollars increasing the capacity of our order-filling departments, which 

 will enable us to ship your order more promptly than ever before, but we hope our friends and cus- 

 tomers will send their orders in early to insure full and prompt shipment before we are sold out of varieties 

 that are short. 



Yours to command,
