i20 WM. HENRY MAULE, Inc., PHILADELPHIA, PA., 1926 
The Best of the New Flowers Recently Introduced 
and all the old and well-tried favorites 
On pages 121 to 124 will be found the cream of all floral novelties of recent introduction, mene been proven by 
careful tests and selected as distinct additions to the general list of flower seeds on pages 125 to 163. 
Maule’s list of flower seeds embraces every variety that is really good and desirable. The sale of flower seeds 
continues to increase with us every year, chiefly due to the superior quality of the seeds we supply. As with vege- 
table seeds, we make it an invariable rule to offer superior 
strains only. 
Flowers, especially your old favorites, are like old friends, and you look forward to the pretty showing your gar- 
den will be, long before a single seed is planted. This year, your interest can be increased by trying a few of Maule’s 
Novelties or other flowers you have never grown before. You will surely enjoy trying something new. There are 
many flowers, probably not so well known, that are worthy of a place in every garden. 
The lists below were compiled for your convenience so that you can readily select proper varieties for different 
purposes or locations. These lists are by no means complete, but merely suggestive. Each variety, throughout the cat- 
alog, is clearly described; height, growing habits and for what purposes they are best suited. Begin, right now, to 
plan your flower garden. 
When ordering flower seeds, it is unnecessary to write the long names—it is sufficient to give the number which 
we have assigned each variety, but you must give the variety number correctly so you may receive just what you 
desire. 
Plain cultural directions are printed 
on every bag of Maule’s flower seeds. 
All flower seeds are delivered by parcel post to your door or post-office, free of all extra charges, at prices given. 
The different varieties listed on the following pages are designated either as Annuals, Biennials or Perennials. 
Hardy Annuals. Easily raised and suitable for many pur- 
poses; excellent for cutting; invaluable for bedding, some for 
color, others for foliage effect. They will always be popular 
with those who want quick results with the least expenditure 
of time and money. Seed may be started in the open ground 
in early spring or sown indoors for earlier effect. Plants will 
flower and die in the one season. 
Half Hardy Annuals. Seeds should be sown in boxes in the 
house or in hot-beds during March or April and the plants 
set out in the open ground in May. They will flower for the 
one season and die. 
Hardy Biennials,. Sow seed as you would the hardy annual: 
The plants wili not bloom until the following year, after 
which they die. 
Half Hardy Biennials. Seed should be sown as you would 
the half hardy annuals. The plants require protection during 
the winter. They will bloom and die the following season. 
List of Plants, Grown from Seed, Suitable 
Hardy Perennials. Seeds may be sown in early spring, or 
during July and August to produce plants that will flower the 
next season, and continue to bloom each succeeding year. 
Seed of some hardy perennials, if sown very early, will pro- 
duce plants that will bloom the same season. It is unnec- 
essary to give protection to these plants during the winter, 
but it will prove beneficial to the plants if a covering of 
leaves, litter or strawy manure is provided. A hardy bed or 
border, when once established, requires practically no atten- 
tion and will, if varieties have been properly selected and 
arranged, povide an abundance of flowers from early spring 
until frost. 5 
Half Hardy Perennials. Sow seed as you would the half 
hardy annuals. If plants are set out in the open ground they 
must be lifted before frost, potted up and taken in the house 
during the winter.
