nri-«i^ f\-( £ck**i **i r*« rwf ^"*<icfl"l Df*i7PC for Club Orders has been a distinctive feature of this business 

 I llC LnXGrin^ OI Vdbll r rlZCS s j uce ^83, when I first started with a modest $100. I have con- 

 tinued it ever since, until in 1895 I propose to distribute the same amount of money as last year namely, $1500.00 in 

 Cash Prizes July 1st, 1895, for the 94 largest Club Orders of Packets and Ounces of Maule's Seeds. For many yeara- 

 this scheme, original with me, was laughed at by my competitors ; but this feature of my business has proven such a suc- 

 cess that at last I have a number of imitators. My club agents yearly receive letters by the score from other seedsmen, .so- 

 liciting them to make up clubs for their seeds ; but I am glad to say that out of several hundred agents who annually make- 

 up clubs for Maule's Seeds, very few have ever been enticed away by inducements, which, while very attractive on paper, 

 have failed to materialize in many cases in any actual cash. It has been a strong feature of this business that every cent of' 

 cash offered for Club Prizes or Premium Vegetables has always been paid promptly, and the names and addresses of the 

 successful competitors always published in my next Annual Catalogue. Consequently, I am glad to announce the following 

 as having been the 94 successful club raisers for the season of 1894 :

I START the ball rolling for 1895 with the same amount in Cash Prizes for club orders as I offered last year, namely, 

 * $1500. I also wish to call the attention of my frieuds to page 17. I have renewed last year's phenomenal discount of 

 $50. 00 worth of seeds in packets for $25. 00. With such terms and inducements there is no excuse for any one 

 not making up a good sized club order. In times like these, hard cash is a most desirable commodity, and it is certainly 

 worth a little effort for every one to try for one of these cash prizes. To give my friends some idea of what a little work will 

 do, would say, Mrs. Williams, of Drop, Texas, who secured the second club prize of $250.00 last year, lives 35 mi lea 

 from an express office, in a village of less than 100 inhabitants. If this could be done in a place of this size, what might not 

 be done in a neighborhood where there are a hundred gardeners to where there was one in Mrs. Williams' district. 



ALL will admit S1500 is a large amouut of money. Until you have 

 once tried you can have no idea how easy it is to have your neigh- 

 bors join you in ordering their seeds. It is simply astonishing that 

 more of my customers do not work for these cash prizes. I know most 

 of the prize-winning clubs during the last ten years have been secured I 

 with but little trouble. One good afternoon's work has secured fre- I 

 quently a cash premium. With the reputation Maule's Seeds have in 

 all sections of the country for reliability and purity, and with this bright 

 new catalogue filled to overflowing with so many good things you and ; 

 your neighbors want, will you not try it ? Don't be discouraged if you i 

 do not get an order just at first. The first two or three orders will be 

 harder to secure than all the others. Somebody is going to secure that 

 $1500 July 1st. Why should you not receive part of it ? I have no secret j 

 terms to agents. I try to do everything open and above board. Every 

 reader of this catalogue can go to work and raise a club for Maule's I 

 Seeds, knowing that no one has better terms than he. Remember, all 

 the orders you send, big or little, will be counted up July 1st. should 

 anyone desire a few extra catalogues to help them in canvassing, I will 

 only be too glad to mail them. Let all enter this friendly competition 

 determined to win. Don't try for a small prize; go for that S500. It is 1 

 worth an extra effort, and anyone who puts in a week or ten days of 

 good solid work has an excellent chance of securing it. Every one who [ 

 makes even a small effort ought to, and can safely, I think, depend on ! 

 being one of the M whose names will be published in my annual cata- 

 logue for lSllii. Bear in mind, every order you send me for packets and 

 ounces of Maule's Seeds will be counted July 1, 1895, when the prizes 

 will be awarded, as announced opposite.
