THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1914 



Bulbs 



A II Properly Labeled, My Se- 

 lection, Shipped After May 1st 



I made this offer for the first time in 1904. My customers are so delighted with their 

 bargains and tell so many of their friends about the liberality of the offer that each 

 ^^^'O'* ' dispose of a large number of these popular $1.00 Bulb Collections. The 

 proposition in a nutshell follows : Every year. May 1st, I have several thousand bulbs on hand, for it is an absolute impossibility to sell out everything. 



his year I propose to distribute at least part of this surplus among my friends in the following manner : Send me $1.00 any time before May 1st. and ! 

 will book your order for 100 choice bulbs, my selection, to be filled in rotation as received, after May 1st. In no case will bulbs be sent whose retail 

 value IS less than $3.00. January orders will be filled first, then February, then March, etc. The first orders will receive the best selection, although the 

 April orders will receive three times their money's worth. The February orders may get ten times what $1.00 would buy if purchaser made the 

 selection. Many bulbs will be worth 10, 15 and even 25 cents each. By making such an exceptional offer, purchaser must pay transportation charges. 



Remember, please, that this offer is for surplus bulbs only, and hence I must select the varieties. Packages 

 vary in size, and I do not prepay transportation charges. Buyers who prefer to do so can send 25 cents 

 extra, and I will deliver either at your postoffice or express office without additional cost.
