• » DO not tlimk 1 ever Had a more delighted customer than was Mr. Rosen- 

 Z A berger, when he discovered last July that his cluo order amounting to S10">.70 

 ™ had secured him the top Club Prize "for 18S9, namely, my cheek for S250. His 

 g investment in Maule's Seeds was certainly a paying one, and I am 

 j s ure many of my customers, when they read this page, will regret they did not 

 S start in themselves and make up a club order among their neighbors for Maule's 

 ^ Seeds last Winter. If such is the case with any of them, I hope this year 

 g they will sail right in and try to secure tlie top prize in ls'JO. 



- 



I myself was disappointed, that such a small club order should have been the 

 largest sent me last season ; still I never believe In taking a step hat k- 

 ward, so I am still determined to offer as liberal prizes in 1890 as I did in 1S89. 



Below will be found the names and post-office addresses of the 93 successful 

 customers who sent me the largest club orders tor packets and ounces of Maule's 

 Seeds last season. As I have stated in former catalogues. I do not believe in 

 offering premiums to my customers and then never letting any one know who 

 secured the monev. 7
