pansy culture is

blossoms; that 
the best bloom

in spring, etc. The 
fact is that suc- 
cess with pansies 
may be acheived 
by everybody. The 
requisites are sim- 
ple. The ground 
should be deeply 
dug and made 
very rich with 
well rotted man- 
ure; the 
should be covered 
lightly; and dur- 
ing warm weather 
the pansy bed 
must be regular- 
ly and freely 
watered. That is

MAULE’S PRIZE MIXED PANSIES. 
(See colored plate facing page 68.) =) 
It is my aim year by year to improve the quality and scope of the grand pansy mixture @)) 
which I have so long sold under this trade name. No trouble or expense is spared to collect EF) 
the seeds of larger, richer and more pertect pansies than those selected for seed purposes the 8” 
previous season, and new strains are secured and included as rapidly as such sorts demon- §)), 
strate their claims to superiority. Thus I get the best pansies of both America and Europe, & 
and as a result have a mixture that gives blooms varying from twoto three inches in diame- 
ter, and which are varied and colored in all the most admired tints and combinations. Noth- p» 
ing can exceed the richness of those pansy colors, and no garden flower is more satisfactory &) 
or more cheerful. . Pansy culture is pleasurable somewhat in proportion to the prizes at &- 
stake, and for this reason Maule’s Prize Mixed Pansies should be sown. The culturist is as- @ 
sured in advance of triumphant success, because every blossom is from a renowned type or 
famous ancestor. Packet, 20 cents; 3 packets, 50 cents ; 14 ounce, $2.00; ounce, $8.00. 
5 PRESIDENT McKINLEY. 
This new pansy has round blossoms from two to three inches in diameter. In general as- 
pect it is margined, but in reality the margin is the ground color, and the darker portions are 
merely large, reguiar blotches of dark reddish brown. It is a magnificent pansy, appearing 
almost black with yellow margin, and is one of the most bold and showy of the newer sorts. 
It is early flowering and a protuse bloomer. Packet, 20 cents; 3 packets, 50 cents. 
: FAIRY QUEEN. i i \ 
This is a new and extremely pretty novelty among pansies, and one which will find many 
admirers. The flower is of good size, of clear, bright azure blue, with a distinct margin of 
pure white, a combination which is new among pansies. JI can only say that it is very beau- 
tiful; and recommend it to pansy lovers for trial. The shape of the flower is nearly circular. 
The plant itself is neat and compact. It isafree bloomer. Packet, 15 cts.; 2 packets, 25 cts
