Kate J. Gardner. Winona, Miss.: 

 " The seeds purchased of you last 

 Spring met with good success 

 among purchasers here. I am 

 often asked, and people come for 

 miles to look at my flowers, from 

 whom I purchased seeds. I tell 

 them of Maule. and give all praise 

 which you so justly deserve, for 

 vegetables, flowers, etc., for I have 

 purchased seeds of you to fully test,

 " need be, to their reliability, and your

 agreeably surprised by their vigor. 

 Being accustomed to having about 

 half of my seeds fail. I planted

 that I greatly regretted carrying so 

 lavish a hand.

 best I ever had. One man said 

 he thought every seed must 

 have come up twice."

WHY 



Do I publish testimonials all 

 through this catalogue, and 

 give more of them than any 

 other house in the trade ? 



BECAUSE 



I believe no seeds have ever 

 been so well or widely en- 

 dorsed as Maule's, and 

 venture to say I can show more 

 WHITE good reports on file at my office 

 '""rAR at this writing than any other3 

 houses in the seed trade Everv 

 Fall thev come in at the rate of 30 to 75 a day. and I 

 could fili this catalogue with nothing else if I wished to 

 do so, but I onlv give a sufficient number to show all 

 who have never sown Maule's Seeds, what those who 

 plant them think of them. Every testimonial given in 

 this catalogue was received in the Fall of 1886. There 

 are no two or three-year-old chestnuts among them.
