Free Seeds 



Again this year, to wholesale 

 and retail customers alike, 

 Wm. Henry Maule sends a 

 free packet of finest flower 

 seeds. This year's gift is a 

 balanced mixture of red, 

 white, and blue cornflowers 

 (Centaurea cyanus fl. pi.). 

 These flowers are also known 

 as Bachelor's Buttons, and 

 they thrive under almost any 

 conditions. Plants grow 



about 2 ft. tall. They seem 

 to do particularly well in dry 

 weather, and late plantings 

 will bloom until i frost. 



Red 



Giant 



Gladiolus 



Red, White, and Blue Cornflowers 



Free Bulbs 



For the sixth successive year 



we make our unusual bonus 



offer of gladiolus bulbs. This 



year's variety will be the same 



lovely Red Giant strain which 



appeared near the beginning of 



this series in 1939. No 



other color has been more 



popular with our friends. 



This is how the bonus 

 of gladiolus is made: 

 For every dollar's 

 worth of merchan- 

 dise purchased from 

 us before June 1st 

 we will send 2 large, 

 blooming size bulbs 

 free with your order. 



The more you buy 

 the more free bulbs 

 you will receive. 

 For market grow- 

 ers with large 

 orders this 

 frequently 

 amounts to sev- 

 eral hundred 

 bulbs, of con- 

 siderable com- 

 mercial value in 

 themselves. 



Red Giant is im- 

 pressively tall, 

 straight stemmed, 

 and vigorous. It 

 is equal to the best 

 in the number of 

 blossoms, and in 

 the size of the indi- 

 vidual blooms, and 

 it possesses a vivid- 

 ness of color almost 

 without comparison 

 in gladiolus. We 

 know you will enjoy 

 your Red Giant 

 glads, and we are 

 pleased to be able to 

 continue to provide 

 you with these bonus 

 gladiolus bulbs. 



Wm, Henry Maule, Philadelphia, 1944
