Grow More Flowers ! Classification of Flowers 



The tendency and desire of more people to beautify 

 their home surroundings is increasing. They realize the 

 planting of flowers, whether grown from seeds, bulbs, 

 roots or plants, will add to the attractiveness and value 

 of their dwelling and create that atmosphere which dis- 

 tinguishes a home from a mere house. How. true the 

 slogan "It's not a home until it's planted."

Flowers for Different Purposes and Situations 



The lists below were compiled for your convenience 

 so that you can readily select proper varieties for dif- 

 ferent purposes or locations. These lists are by no means 

 complete, but merely suggestive. Each variety, through- 

 out the catalog, is clearly described; height, growing 

 habits and for what purposes they are best suited. Direc- 

 tions how to plant are printed on every package of Maule's 

 Flower Seeds. 



Flowers are divided into three classes — Annuals, 

 Biennials and Perennials. Each class is described as 

 follows: 



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 so-wn 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 frround when the trees come into leaf. 

 They will flower for the one season and die. 



Hardy Biennials. So-w seed as you -would the hardy annuals. 

 The plants will not bloom until the following year, after 

 which they die. 



Half Hardy Biennials. Seeds 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. 



Hardy Perennials. Seeds may be sown in early spring, or 

 during Julj- 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, pro- 

 vide an abundance of flowers from early spring until frost. 



Half Hardy Perennials. Sow seed as you would the half 

 hardy annuals. If plants are set out in the open ground they 

 must he lifted before frost, potted up and taken in the house 

 during the w"inter.
