Maule’s Giant Pansies 
Hardy Biennial 
OR many years, in fact, ever since [ have been in busi- 
ness, I have given particular attention to pansy seeds un- 
til I really think I have as good strains of pansies as can 
be found anywhere in the world; all sterling sorts and of the 
richest colors. Pansies demand good soil and plenty of 
moisture and are almost perfectly hardy. A number of peo- 
ple are accustomed to sowing pansy seeds only in the fall, 
but for years [ have been deluged with letters extolling the 
size and color of the flowers raised from my seeds sown in the 
spring. I really think that the results obtained from my 

Pansy, GIANT Eros. 
GIANT EROS. 
The chief characteristic of this variety is just | 
like that of the well known Giant Freya, that 
the back of each bloom has the same broad 
margin as the front side, while the dark vel- | 
vety centre is shining through, so that a bed of 
this lovely pansy has the appearance of being 
especially full and rich flowering. This pecu- 
liarity renders pansy Eros most valuable for 
groups and bedding, giving them a uniform 
imposing aspect from all sides. This grand 
novelty produces very large flowers of a deep 
velvety brown color, with a broad golden yel- 
low margin. Pkt., 15 cts.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 
GIANT PSYCHE. 
The ground color is pure white, but each 
petal is heavily blotched with velvety violet. 
Excels in beauty of coloring, shape and num- 
ber of magnificent blooms. Each flower is 
elegantly curled and undulated. A beautiful 
separate color of the Ruffled Masterpiece type. 
Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 
GIANT RAPHAEL. 
A spiendid type of Bugnot’s pansies, of large 
size, perfect form. Flowers 2 to 2'4 inches in 
diameter. Ground color, light blue with a dark 
violet blotch on each petal, surrounded with a 
halo of beautiful dark ray-like veinings. 
Packet, 20 cents; 3 packets, 50 cents. 
PRESIDENT CARNOT. 
This is a most Magnificent variety. The mar- 
gins of the petals are clear white, while each

spring sown seeds have been so remarkable that this is one 
reason why the demand for this beautiful and popular flower 
increases with me so much every year, until some varie- 
ties I have to grow by the hundred weight. Idonot think you 
can make a mistake on any variety that you may select from 
the following list, whereas my Phenomenal pansies, so well 
illustrated on the inside cover of this seed book, I consider 
superior, in every way, to any other mixed pansies now 
offered. The flowers should be picked frequently and con- 
stantly to encourage the development of the buds.
