I believe good farm literature is a potent help to my seed business. I like my customers to have 

 the best up-to-date information about all that relates to the farm and garden. 

 With this object in view, I invite your attention to 



1. 



THE PRACTICAL FARMER, 



published weekly in Philadelphia at $1.00 per year. It has 



i 5 SPE6 1 Ab DEPARTMENTS! 



maintained by contributions from its subscribers which converge the experiences and opinions of thou- 

 sands of practical farmers and gardeners into its columns during the year, making it the most Practical 

 Farm Paper published. One of its strongest points is its 



GARDEN DEPARTMENT. 



edited by Mr. T. Greiner, the well-known gardener and horticulturist, and author of " How to Make 

 the Garden Pay," the most practical and complete work on gardening ever published. Mr. T. B. Terry, 

 the well-known agricultural expert, writes exclusively for its columns. The "Cream of the Bulletins" 

 is a weekly column in which the reports of the State Experiment Stations and Agricultural Department 

 are put into plain English and boiled down so that the reader goes right to the point of each report at 

 once. All the features of a modern and up-to-date agricultural journal, and special, original ones not 

 found in any other farm paper. 



By special arrangement with the publishers of The Practical Farmer, I am able 

 to send to any customer who sends me an order for Maule's Seeds during 1901, 

 The Practical Farmer every week for one year for only 50c, exactly half price. \ , J. £§ 

 The 50c. for a year's subscription must be sent at the same time as your order. 



THE FARMER CO.. Publishers of the PRACTICAL FARMER also agree 



TO SEND EVERY ONE SENDING ME 50 CENTS FOR A YEARS SUBSCRIPTION. A COPY OF 



i 1 E Y%m Book for 1901. 



This Book containing more than 500 PAGES, should be in the hands of every one of 



MY CUSTOMERS, AS IT WILL BE FOUND TEEMING WITH INFORMATION THAT WILL COME IN USE EVERY DAY. 



The Practical Farmer's Year Book for 1901, will con- 

 tain all facts of the 1900 census so far as they shall have 

 been obtainable at the beginning of the New Year. The 

 story of the census will be one of which every lover of this 

 country will be proud. The stirring events in China, which 

 portend the division of that country and its opening up to 

 the commerce of the world, will be given. So, too, the wat 

 in South Africa, in the change it has wrought in the map of 

 that section, appeals to our commercial interests as well as 

 sympathies, and the complete manner in which all the facts 

 of that war will be brought out in the Year Book, will be 

 indispensable in forming an intelligent and correct judg- 

 ment. Our own operation in the Philippines, Cuba, Porto 

 Rico, etc., will be far reaching in their efforts upon our 

 material interests, and every known fact printed in reference 

 thereto will be of value to the student of the political and 

 commercial history of the country. The age in which we 

 live is teeming with events fraught with good or evil to the 

 world's progress and happiness. A publication which pub- 

 lishes all these events does a service to humanity. This is 

 the promise of the Year Book, and its plans for completely 

 covering the world's history for the last year are far reach- 

 ing and effective. In addition to these events of world wide 

 interest and effect, much information useful (we might say 



indispensable) in the daily life of the individual will be 

 given a place. Information such as is difficult to find in 

 ordinary books, or even in encyclopedias, will be printed in 

 the Year Book. The little facts and figures which are of 

 interest to and lighten many of the daily duties will also be 

 given their place. Thus it will be seen that the Year Book 

 is better than a thirty-volume encyclopedia for common, 

 every day use, inasmuch as it contains information fitted 

 into the details of the everyday life, and information of the 

 world's doings right down to the day of publication ; while in 

 the essential parts of history, biography, statistics, etc., it is 

 full and complete. A very interesting portion of it to the 

 political student will be that devoted to the returns of the 

 late Presidential election. The details of the votes by states 

 and counties will form an interesting study of thelconditions 

 of American national politics. The Year Book; is truly a 

 book for the millions and contains facts which will interest 

 every member of the family. In the first part/of the book 

 will be a series of monthly memorandum pages/ with blanks 

 for cash receipts and expenditures, 10 pages for each month. 

 In it will also be found a complete calendar and monthly 

 forecasts for the whole year, which will be Especially valu- 

 able. The whole mass of informotion is indexed so that the 

 contents are accessible.
