 rior, seeds better, and packets larger.

I HAVE OVER 12,000 LETTERS ON FILE NOW AT MY OFFICE ENDORSING THE ABOVE 10 POINTS WHY Y'OIT SHOULD 



SOW NO OTHER SEEDS BUT MAULE'S. THEN WHY" NOT DO IT! 



$100 in 1883. = $500 in 1887. 



In 1883 I first offered Cash Prizes for largest club orders for packets and ounces of Garden and Flower Seeds. I have continued it ever 

 since. Last July, in accordance with my proposition on second cover page of my 1886 catalogue, I distributed S400 among my customers 

 for the 55 largest clubs sent me last season. Knowing that all my friends are interested in seeing who secured these prizes, 1 give below 

 the names and post office addresses of the successful club-raisers. 1 do not believe in offering premiums and then never letting any one 

 know who secured them. It Is not my way of doing business.

For 1887 every one has already noticed the great improvements in 

 this Catalogue over last vear, and it would never do not to make this 

 club competition even more attractive than ever before, hence I 

 have increased the amount of money to be awarded this season from 

 8400 toSoOO. This increase is, moreover, offered in one grand premium 

 of 8100, thus making 56 prizes to be distributed among club raisers of 

 Maule's Seeds July 1st, 1887. Remember, all orders sent between Jan- 

 uary and July 1st, count for these prizes. Mr. Wagner's first order last 

 season was for only 82.00, yet he secured the largest club. It will also be 

 noticed that if Mr. Roach had only secured another small order for$6.00, 

 he would have obtained the 850, so that a few small orders, secured at 

 the tail end of the season, may be the means of putting you at top of the list. 



Let all enter into this friendly competition "with a wiU, and 

 especially let every club raiser of last and other years try to secure 

 that 8100. I have never obtained a larger club than that sent by Mr. 

 Wagner last year, and this was S10.80 snort of amount offered as a 

 first prize this year. It seems very certain to me that if any one Is 

 able to make up a 8100 club, they are very sure to secure 8100 July 1st, 

 and thus have their seeds cost absolutely nothing. Few people know 

 how easy it is to get up a club for Maule's Seeds. One good after- 

 noon's work has secured frequently a prize-winning club, besides 

 giving the club raiser the benefit of my largest discount on seeds in 

 packets. S15 for 810. "With the reputaiion 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 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 

 receive that 8500 July 1st. Why should yon not receive part of it I 

 I have no secret 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 Seeds, knowing that no one has better terms than he. Re- 

 member, all the orders you send, little or big, will be counted up 

 July 1st. Even if you should not be so successful as to secure a cash 

 prize, you can by making up a 810 club secure my greatest discount on
