STATEMENT 
If you want the best Garden you 
have ever had, you must sow 
Maule’s Seeds. 
There is no question but that 
Maule’s Garden Seeds are unsur- 
passed. Their present popularity 
in every county in the United States 
proves it, for I now have customers 
at more than 31.000 post-offices. 
When once sown, others are not wanted 
at any price. Over one-quarter of a 
million copies of my new Catalogue 
for 1889 have been mailed already. 
Jt is pronounced the most original , 
beautifully illustrated and readable 
Seed Catalogue ever published. It 
contains among other things, cash 
prizes for premium vegetables, etc., 
to the amount of $3,500. You should 
not think of purchasing any Seeds this 
Spring before sending for it. It is 
mailed free to all enclosing stamp 
for return postage. Address
