Vegetable Seeds — 3 



$1,000 in Cash Prizes for Club Orders 



JUST a day or so before writing this I mailed checks lor $1,000.00 to the winners of last year's con- 

 test, and this year forty more of my customers will receive cash prizes ranging from $5 to $200 



40 Prices 



IN ALL 

 VALUE 



each, as follows: 



For the largest club $200.00 



For the second largest club 150.00 



For the third largest club 100.00 



For the fourth largest club 75.00 



For the ^fth largest club 50.00 



For the next five largest clubs, each 25.00 



For the next ten largest clubs, each 15.00 



For the next ten largest clubs, each 10.00 



For the next ten largest clubs, each 5.00 



Every year I offer these cash prizes. The first ofler was made over thirty years ago. This year I 

 make it again. What pleases me about this offer is that all of my customers have an equal chance. 

 YOU are just as likely to win a handsome prize as anyone else. Now this is the plan: Many folks 

 in your neighborhood send away for their seeds. Some of them send their ordeis to me. Some send 

 elsewhere. Why don't you collect these orders and send them to me, and have each order count 



, -, towards a prize? You will be astonished how easy it is. Just take a copy of this 



catalogue and an order blank — I will send you free as many as you need— call on 

 your friends and neighbors and say that you want them to use Maule's Seeds and 

 give YOU their orders. You will be surprised how quickly the orders amount up 

 to a tidy sum. And it isn't necessary to send in such a large amount to win a prize. 

 Some of my customers have won prizes by a single afternoon's work. A 110.00 

 prize was won last year for just 159.26 worth of orders. The year before a prize 

 went for a club of only |44.25. Others by giving more of their time to it win the 

 top prizes. Remember everything ordered from this catalogue counts whether 

 your order is large or small. Every order sent in during the year will be counted 

 but you must mention on each order that it is for the Club Competition otherwise 

 a small order might be overlooked. The contest is open the entire year from July 

 1st to July 1st. If you will drop me a postal, or mention it on your first order, I will 

 gladly tell you more about it and send you all supplies necessary without charge. 



Aspara^o® 



PHILADELPHIA MAMMOTH. 



Culture. — The seed before sowing 

 should be well soaked In water. Sow in 

 the early Spring in drills 2 to 3 feet 

 apart, scattering about 1 inch apart in 

 the drills. Cover with 1 inch of soil, cul- 

 tivate freely. One ounce will produce 

 about 400 plants; 4 to 5 pounds to the 

 acre. The following Spring set out the 

 roots to a permanent bed, in rows 2 to 5 

 feet apart, 18 inches apart in the rows. 

 Cover with 2 Inches of soil. 



Palmetto 



The most profitable asparagus on the market; one reason 

 Is Ihat it seems to be disease proof, and where other vari- 

 eties have been susceptible to the asparagus disease. Pal- 

 metto has continued to yield big paying crops. This variety 

 at the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment station proved 

 to be the best out ol eight varieties planted; the cash returns 

 one year being over SHOO more per acre than returns from 

 Barr's Mammoth. Earlier than Conover's.

2 Giant Argenteuil 



PALMETTO ASPARAG 



My strain is an improvement upon original French stock. 

 In the South it is regarded as superior to Palmetto, and I 

 recommend it with great confidence to Northern growers. 

 It has a place of its own in the New York and Boston 

 markets, and sells for fl.OO to 52.00 more per dozen bunches 

 than the best of old sorts. The illustration herewith is taken 

 from an average bunch prepared for selling in the market.
