You will notice from the above that Mr,

 secured the 8200 prize for the largest Club 

 order, with a club amounting to Slb'9.18, or 

 (30.82 less than the amount of the prize. 



Now for 1901 I shall offer the same 

 amount in cash prizes as last year, al- 

 though I must confess it is somewhat dis- 

 couraging to have to award prizes for clubs 

 amounting to less than the prizes. How- 

 ever, I really consider this scheme one of 

 the best advertisements I have ever had, 

 as by means ol" this offer, Maule's Seeds 

 have been introduced into many homes 

 where possibly they would have never 

 been known, if it had not been for the ef- 

 forts of my friends in making up these 

 club orders in competition for the prizes. 

 In previous years the prizes have been 

 awarded for club orders consisting of 

 packets and ounces of vegetable and flower 

 seeds: this year every thing counts, 

 and all club orders sent me in competition 

 for these prizes will be counted July l<t, 

 19 )1, and the prizes awarded in the follow- 

 ing manner : 



For the largest cluh order S'iOO.OO 

 For the second largest club 150.00 

 For the third largest club 100.00 

 For the fourth largest club 75.00 



For the fifth largest club S "iO.OO 



For the next live largest clubs, each '25.10 

 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 

 With the reputation Maule's Seeds have 

 for reliability and purity in all parts of the 

 country, and with this most modern cata- 

 logue of modern times filled to overflow- 

 ing with so many good things you and 

 your neighbors vant, will you not try to 

 make up a club order for Maule's Seeds. 

 C all your friends attention tothe fact that 

 this "book is truly a novelty catalogue, 

 containing to brand new vegetables and 

 flowers never before listed, but offered 

 this year for the first time. Your friends 

 and neighbors will all want some of these 

 novelties. Somebody is going to secure 

 that 81,000 July 1st. next. Whv should not 

 you obtain part of it? I n 11-99 and 19( t he 

 prize winners made their money easily, 

 and I presume the same thing will happen 

 this year. Some people think they have 

 no chance in an open competition, but I 

 have known of cases where a single after- 

 noon's work has secured prizes of fiom 

 $5.0 J to $25X0. All oideis you send fig or 

 little will be counted July 1st, and the 

 prizes then awarded.

The S100 prize offered for the best report of a comparative test between Maule's 

 " 1900" Tomato and the greatest number of other varieties was awarded to Mr. John 

 Grape, Twin Spring Garden, W'aukesha, Wis.; who sent in the following report : 



Started the seed in greenhouse, transplanted in frames, and on Mav29th planted 

 them in the field, ten plants of each variety. All plants grew niceiv, but blight 

 struck them July 2bth, and in three days the vines were all black with the exception 

 of the 1900, Enormous, Imperial and Beauty. A week later only one varietv was left 

 green. No. 1900, and was the only one that kept setting fruit after this. No." 1900 kept 

 its foliage perfectly until Oct. 17th, when frost hurt it some. Ripened natural under 

 the foliage; the 1900 were beauties, while all the others were green at the stem end, 

 and would never color. Why did I not plant all this kind: I would be 8500 better off
