Hardy Perennial Larkspur 
An old garden favorite. 
Seed sown in the early 
spring will produce blooms 
the same year, but the flow- 
ers will be more profuse in 
Subsequent years. The blue 
color of larkspur is almost 
unique among flowers in its 
clearness and intensity. See 
larkspur for the annual sorts. 
ZALIL. A distinct and 
very showy hardy perennial 
yellow larkspur. The several 
branches or flower spikes are 
8 to 1l0inchesin length. The 
flowers are of a most lovely 
and delicate shade of sulphur 
yellow, the color of a Mare- 
chal Niel rose, and are both 
beautiful and effective.

DIAMOND FLOWER 
Tender Annual 
A charming little plant for every 
window garden, growing Only 2 or 3 
inches high. The seed may be sown 
in the pots of other plants, resulting 
in a mass of minute green leaves 
and starry flowers which shine like 
diamonds. Colors white and violet 
blue. Packet, 10 cents, 
DIANTHUS 
Hardy Annual Pinks 
The annual and biennial sorts of 
dianthus flower freely the first year 
from seed. They are quite hardy, 
and often give a greater profusion 
of bloom the second year than the 
first. The seeds of all kinds of dian- 
thus may be sown in the open 
ground, and thinned to stand 6 or 8 
inches apart in the row. The plants 
spread rapidly, and make orna- 
mental masses of growth. ‘The col- 
orings of these hardy pinks are 
exceedingly rich and varied and 
their beauty is scarcely surpassed by any flower of the garden. Their 
cultural requirements are simple. and they are in universal favor. 
ROYAL PINKS. This magnificent improvement on Dianthus, 
Heddewigii has been given the name of Heddewigii Nobilis—the noble 
or royal Heddewigii, and the group well deserves the name of Royal 
Pinks. It is derived from selected forms of the popular single-flower- 
ing Japan pinks, producing blossoms of a new shape, the petals being 
curled, waved and twisted, each covering half of another, and all beau- 
tifully fringed. he colors vary trom white to intense red. The flowers 
are from 2 to 4 inches across, with large eyes, and are exceedingly 
showy and satisfactory. The plants are a foot or more in height. and 
are unsurpassed tor bedding purposes. Nothing among the annual, 
single-flowered pinks can excel this new and lovely strain. Pkt., 10c.

DIANTHUS, WHITE FRILLS AND MOuRNING CLOAK. 

FUVERY year I publish in my seed book several hundred extracts 
Jrom letters received from friends and this year tis no exception. 
Not one of the testimonials published last year appears in this year’s 
book. I do not believe in using the same testimonials year after year 
as some seedsmen do, for after you have read them once, they cer- 
tainly would not interest you again; so every year all of these tes- 
timonials scattered through my book are fresh and very much to the 
point, selected as they are from many thousands of letters of similar 
character received constantly through the year from Jan. to Dec. 







Willis F. Patrick, Millville, N. J.—I wish to express my thanks for the superior 
quality of the Sweet Pea seed you sent me this spring. They began to bloom the 
last week in May, and at the present time (June 12th) they are a mass of flowers. 
I have grown Sweet Peas for eight years, but have never had any to equal yours. 
Miss A. H. Ca!lendine, Wellsburg, W. Va.—Your seeds are fine and I was much 
pleased with the results from those planted this year. The flowers are so large, 
and so many bright colors. 
Mrs. J. S. Clark, Kansas City, Mo.—I have ordered plants and seed of you for a 
number of years. It has always been a satisfaction to me to know that when I 
plant seed purchased of you, I can depend upon getting the results desired. 
Mrs. M. E. Slater, Lafayette, N. J.—I have planted your garden and flower seeds 
for fifteen years, and have found them true to name, and otherwise satisfactory. 
David Zerphey, Mt. Joy, Pa.—Maule’s Seeds are good. I have customers who 
come for miles to my greenhouse for plants from your seeds. 
Harold J. Staples, Biddeford, Me.—I have bought Maule’s roses before, and 
those of other houses,and Maule’s roses always surpassed all others. 
Fred J. McCann, Norwalk, Cala.—I congratulate myself on having the prettiest 
flowers in the neighborhood; every seed came up, and my asters are the finest 
ever grown around here. 
George A. Easterday, Fergus Fails, Minn.—Your seeds gave perfect satisfaction. 

My aster bed was a wonder in itself.
