1877 Maule's Golden Anniversary 1927 



When we made an announcement in our spring catalog that we were celebrating oui 

 50th anniversary as seedsmen, we did not expect to receive so many letters of congratu- 

 lation, letters of praise for Maule Seeds, letters of continued success, etc. 



We have simply been deluged with such letters from our customers from every part 

 of the world. We take this opportunity to thank each and everyone who wrote us and 

 assure you that we will put greater effort than ever before into the growing, proving and 

 testing of our seeds, bulbs and roots so that the name "Maule" will always stand for 

 quality, promptness and reliability. 



Our old customers know that we have always supplied, at a reasonable price, the best 

 that can be had. 



To those who receive this book for the first time, let us assure you we will appreciate 

 your order, regardless of its size. Whether you wish one packet of seed, one root or 

 bulb, or a thousand, you certainly want the best, or you cannot expect satisfactory re- 

 sults. You get the benefit of our 50 years' experience. We have done the experiment- 

 ing for you; you run no risk. A trial order will convince you. 



To show our appreciation for our customers' orders in the past, and to 

 make thousands of new friends, we have made our prices of Tulip bulbs 

 particularly the Darwins, extremely low, — lower than they have ever been 

 offered before. 



Here is your opportunity to increase your planting of these lovely spring flowers. 

 Buy a plentiful supply this year; they may never be sold as cheaply again. If you have 

 never experienced the joy of having a bed or border of these Tulips about your home; take 

 advantage of our low Golden Anniversary prices and plant Maule bulbs this fall. 



We are confident you cannot purchase better quality bulbs anywhere. The majority 

 of those herein offered are grown in Holland, and it is from the best growers only that we 

 procure bur stocks, which usually reach us in September. Just as soon after their arrival 

 as we can unpack, assort and examine them, we will fill all orders in rotation as received.
