Page 101, -Annual Catalogue for 1896 of Maule’s Four-Leaf Clo 
:MAULE’S FLOWERING PLANTS 1800. 
PARTICULARLY desire to call the attention of every reader of this catalogue to 
| the many low-priced special offers of new and desirable Roses and other Flower- 
ing and Ornamental Plants, to be found in the next eight pages. A strong feature 
of my business is the testing of new plants as they are introduced from time to 
time; but comparatively few of them are calculated, however, to give entire satisfac- 
tion to the admirer of choice flowers. This year, as in previous seasons, I have been 
very careful in my selection of varieties, new and old, offering only those plants that 
are worthy ofa place in every garden. I know that every one favoring me With an or- 
der for plants this year will be more than satisfied with their investment. To my old 
customers it is unnecessary to say anything in regard to the superior excellence of 
Maule’s Plants, but to the many new readers who will receive my catalogue this year 
for the first time, I need only say that stronger, healthier plants than I send to my cus- 
tomers can not be procured from any one. | propose this year to increase the good 
reputation which they now hold in the esteem of all lovers of flowering plant life.
