Beautify your Home with Flowers from your own Garden 



The Old and the New Varieties, all at their Best, in the Maule List 



Every year shows an enormous increase in our sales of flower seeds. Each increase proves that our seeds have 

 satisfied thousands of new customers. 



We are proud to have given so much pleasure and to have helped to beautify so many homes. Where beauty is, 

 there is happiness also. 



Maule's flower seeds give satisfaction because the Maule test has been applied to every lot of seeds and because we 

 have grown every new sort offered before we pass it along to our customers with our approval. 



Flowers are easily grown. Good soil carefully prepared is a good start. Planting is performed by an easily remem- 

 bered rule. Cover with soil to four times the depth of the seed and press down lightly. Every package of Maule's 

 flower seeds cod tains culture directions. 



When ordering flower seeds it is unnecessary to write the long names — it is sufficient to give tlie number which we 

 have assigned each variety, but you must give tlie number correctly, so you may receive just what you desire. 



All flower seeds are delivered by parcel post to your door or post-office, free of all extra charges, at prices given. 



On page 176 will be found a complete index of the botanical, as well as the common, name of all flowers in this book. 



The diflerent varieties listed on the following pages are designated either as Annuals, Biennials or Perennials. 



Hardy AnnnalB. Easily raised and suitable for many purposes; 

 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 sown 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 

 ground In May. They will flower for the one season and die. 



Hardy Biennials. Sow seed as you would the hardy annual. The 

 plants, will not bloom until the following year, after which they die. 



Half Hardy Biennials. Seed 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 

 July 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 produce plants that will bloom the 

 same season. It is unnecessary 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 attention and 

 will, if varieties have been properly selected and arranged, provide 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 be 

 lifted before frost, potted up and taken in the house during the 

 winter.
