MAULE'S ANNUAL FLOWER SEEDS ARE GROWN THROUGHOUT THE WORLD 



SalVia — Flowering Sage 



Few other flowers are so extensively used for bedding and 

 general garden display than the colorful Scarlet Sage. Its 

 long showy spikes of bright dazzling scarlet flowers are 

 borne with the greatest freedom well above the rich dark 

 green, leathery foliage. They are beautiful beyond de- 

 scription. The dwarf varieties are particularly fine for 

 beds and pot growing. 



Salvia, Drooping Spikes 



1722 Drooping Spikes This splendid Salvia is distinct from the other 

 varieties we offer. The flower spikes are extra long and heavily loaded with 

 flowers. They bend under their own weight, as shown in the illustration 

 above. This gives the spikes a graceful arching appearance. The color of 

 the flowers is a brilliant scarlet-red. 2 Vift. Pkt. 15c; Vioz. 75c; Vi oz. $1.35. 



1723 Bonfire Where a bold effect 

 is desired, Bonfire surely will an- 

 swer the purpose. The sturdy 

 plants grow 2 ft. tall, forming well 

 rounded, rather compact bushes of 

 even height. The long, stately 

 spikes carry clear above the foliage 

 large and showy flowers of glowing 

 scarlet-red. When in full bloom the 

 dark green foliage is completely 

 hidden. Pkt. 10c; Vs oz. 50c. 



1724 America or Globe of Fire 



An attractive variety, not over 15 

 in. tall, which makes it a foremost 

 bedding plant. The shining scarlet 

 flower spikes come into bloom very 

 early in the season. Pkt. 15c; 



Vioz. 75c; Vioz. $1.35. 



1733 Mixed, All Colors Most 



gardeners are acquainted only with 

 the scarlet varieties of Sage, but 

 there are also some interesting other 

 colors such as flesh-pink, salmon, 

 carmine, purple, etc. These, to- 

 gether with some scarlet varieties, 

 have been carefully blended for a 

 wonderful color effect. Pkt. 10c; 

 Vs oz. 50c; Vi oz. 90c. 



1727 Farinacea This is the so- 



called "Mealy-Sage." It forms 

 sturdy well-branched plants 2>£ ft. 

 tall, towered by slender spikes of 

 frosted appearance, set with rich 

 lavender-blue flowers. Fine for 

 cutting. The plants will live over 

 winter if covered with strawy man- 

 ure or litter. Pkt. 10c; Vi oz. 50c. 



1 721 Salpiglossis, Mixed 



Salpiglossis 



Velvet Flower 



1721 Emperor, Mixed Colors tl 



decorative value of this exquisite 

 flower should not be underestimated. 

 Whether planted in the border or 

 used for cut flowers, it always will 

 arouse admiration. The beautiful 

 large trumpet-shaped flowers are of a 

 velvety texture and come in most 

 beautiful colors which neither artists 

 brush nor pen could adequately por- 

 tray. Many of them are showily 

 veined with contrasting colors. They 

 are produced on tall slender stems 

 just fine for cutting. Used alone or 

 in connection with other summer 

 flowers it will give lovely bouquets. 

 Start the seeds indoors early in the 

 spring or outdoors when the nights 

 have become warm. Transplant to 

 stand not less than 1 ft. apart.
