Plan Your Garden 

 the Maule Way 



!N hundreds of thousands of homes 

 the Maule Seed Book is the family 

 guide in planning vegetable and 

 flower gardens. For the city man with 

 the back yard plot or the farmer with 

 his acres, the "Maule Direct to You" 

 service is equally helpful. 



The Maule idea was born 42 years 

 ago. It has grown until today nearly 

 half a million customers rely upon us, 

 — we conduct probably the largest 

 direct to planter seed business in the world. These customers 

 know that buying from us means fair prices, a service that 

 satisfies and seeds that produce. 



We have endeavored to make this year's catalogue more 

 helpful than ever and suggest that you examine it carefully 

 and keep it for future reference. 



Seeds That Produce- 

 There is nothing haphazard in the production and selection 

 of seeds listed in the Maule catalogue. We do not rely solely 

 on our forty-two years experience — but maintain extensive 

 trial grounds at Newfield. N. J. 



By constantly testing new strains, improving old favorites 

 and striving always for vigorous, prolific crops, it is little 

 wonder that Maule's Seeds have won the just reputation of 



"Once Grown — Always Grown." 



No human agency can guarantee that a seed will grow — 

 but we do the next best thing by testing for germination 

 every lot of seed that enters our warehouses. This proving 

 before planting assures a much higher average of results — 

 the maximum results depending necessarily on weather, soil 

 conditions and care in cultivation. If it were possible to do 

 anything more, we would do it. 



RE you utilizing all that ground of 

 Make it produce more. 

 By planting Maule's seeds you 

 insure results that well repay you for your 

 time. Add to the country's food supply 

 by selecting a greater variety of seed this 

 season. Plant seeds that you possibly 

 overlooked last season. 



ORDER EARLY 



We wish to impress upon our custom- 

 ers the importance of placing their orders early. Owing to 

 the enormous demands and some short deliveries of certain 

 crops it is advisable to send in your orders as soon as possible 

 after receipt of catalogue. Shipping conditions are rapidly 

 becoming normal and we will fill all orders with our usual 

 promptness, but we would like you to place your order early. 



Service That Satisfies 



Helpful Advice Maule service does not end when the seeds 

 Without Charge, are sold. Not only have we made this book

 but every seed package carries practical information. Should our 

 customers require any special help on seeds, plants and bulbs, our staff 

 of capable, practical experts is available. No charge is made. You 

 are heartily invited to take advantage of this service.

Attention, instructions are intelligently followed. Our organ-

 Prices. ment for the buyer. You are buying more than mere seeds.
