41- ANNIVERSARY 



FORTY-ONE years have 

 seenWm. Henry Maule, 

 Inc., steadily growing. 

 Today the more than half mil- 

 lion customers on our books 

 make us probably the largest 

 direct-to-planter seed house 

 in the world. 



There must be in our seeds 

 themselves, in our treatment of cus- 

 tomers, in our fair prices, and in our 

 added service, something very unusual, which 

 through forty-one years has kept the Maule 

 Seed business continually climbing. It is un- 

 doubtedly the combination of all these to which 

 we owe our remarkable growth. 



Order Early 



CEED crops in some lines 

 are short on account of 

 the very unfavorable grow- 

 ing season in some sections, 

 and the existing conditions 

 in the seed growing centres 

 abroad. Therefore, increases 

 in some prices have been ab- 

 solutely necessary. We have 

 good supplies of everything listed 

 but urge early 'orders, as the demand for seeds 

 this year will be very large. Early orders will 

 insure your receiving your seeds in plenty 

 of time. Mails, express and freight will prob- 

 ably be delayed, so we repeat; Order Early.

 mittances sent by post office money order, express money order, draft, check or registered letter.

 every effort to send you the best seeds, plants and bulbs nrocurable, of such varieties as you may order. 



Added Service to Customers

 as well as on all the seed packages 

 we send out, is given helpful advice 

 on planting and cultivation. We further maintain experi- 

 enced and efficient experts, who will give, free of charge, ad- 

 vice on any 'points concerning the care of seeds, plants and 

 bulbs. Their knowledge is at your service for the asking. 



Our seed warehouse is the best equipped and 

 most complete in America. We are in posi- 

 tion to fill all orders entrusted to us with the

FAIR When considering Maule prices you must consider 

 PRICES aaae d quality given by our strict tests, the 



four leaf clover guarantee, which protects you 

 so thoroughly, also the added Maule service. Even then you 

 will find that Maule seeds are not higher priced than untested, 

 questionable seeds. Crops considered, they will give your 

 dollar more seed value than it ever had before. 



The Seeds, Themselves 



Proved Before You Plant Them 



Every precaution, within human power, is taken to as- 

 sure our customers vigorous and prolific crops. Every lot of 

 seed that enters our warehouse is tested for germination, and 

 experiments are constantly carried on for purity and product- 

 iveness in our extensive trial grounds at Newfield, N. J. 



Every element of chance possible is removed for Maule 

 Seed planters. That is why our slogan for the past forty-one 

 years "Once grown — always grown" is so real, for it is true. 



It is at once our pride and to our advantage, that as nearly 

 as one can guarantee the results, which must finally depend 

 •on weather, soil conditions and the care used in cultivation, 

 we do guarantee Maule's Seeds. 



This is the policy of Wm. Henry Maule, Inc., toward its 

 customers, To its fairness is due a great deal of the good 

 will and prosperity which we enjoy
