 Flowering 



PETUNIA. Double Extra Large Flowering. 



Maule's Superb Double Extra I^arge Floweriog petunias are without 

 doubt the flnest ever offered to the public. For years I have made a 

 specialty of this strain, consta ntly improving it by selection. The 

 flowers assume greater size and richness as time elapses, and the type 

 ever becomes more desirable. In color, shape, markings and texture 

 It Is all that can be desired. The numerous petals are more or less 

 folded, fringed and shaded, and the result Is a flower of unexcelled qual- 

 ity and beauty. The plant Is strong, stocky and vigorous, and foliage 

 pleasing. Packet, 20 cents.; 3 packets, 50 cents. 



Petunia, Selected Ruffled Giants. 



PETUNIA. Selected Ruifled Giants. 



This is the handsomest petunia In the world, not only on account of 

 Its great size, but because of Its rich colors and markings and Its 

 fringed or notched petals. It Is perfection itself. The great blooms are 

 exquisitely ruffled on the edges. Some flowers are 5 inches across. The 

 tints are rich and varied, embracing purple, yellow, rose, velvety crim- 

 son, etc., and the markings are as varied as they are beautiful. Includ- 

 ing much curious veinlng and penciling. Some flowers are blotched 

 In grotesque ways, usually with dark throats, giving an appearance of 

 depth and substance. Packet, 20 cents; ;i packets, 50 cents. 



PHLOX DRUMMONDII. 



Briar Crest Selected Long Blooming. 



Best of all Bedding Plants. 



This splendid race of half-dwarf an- 

 nual phloxes cannot be overpraised for 

 lirightness and beauty. The plants aie 

 always lavishly covered with large 

 flowers of the most brilliant hues. The 

 flower type Is shown In the Illustration 

 Nothing better for bedding purposes is 

 listed In this catalogue. These phloxes 

 are less than a foot high, and aie of 

 neat growth. They succeed every whei e, 

 and are In universal favor for summei 

 flowering purposes. They are quite 

 hardy, but are to be treated as annuals 

 They come Into bloom quickly fiom 

 the seed, and cover a long period, until 

 cut down by frost. The colors include 

 pure white, deep and showy red, lose 

 with white eye and other shades. I sell 

 all the colors In a choice mixtuie, 

 embracing over fifteen sorts. Pkt., KIc , 

 3 pkts., 25c.; Y^ oz., 30c.; oz., gl.OO.

 Jd garden of taine Howery. A mixture of the clioicest f^eede. mostly annuals, to 

 Iin pp'O^^" hap-liazard. in a promiscuous way. The results are both surprising and 

 Yming. It savors iust enough of chance and guess-work to be interesting. For 



a number of years I lia\'(i' sent <.iut this mixture, and ha\e received many te^^tiniorii- 

 als of the pleasin.Lr results obtained. To guess the identity of unknown'plants in a 

 flower bed, before they bloom, is like working a puzzle. Unlike a lottery there are no 

 blanks. Everything is a prize. Packet, 10 cts.; 3 packets, 25 cts.-. ounce, 30 cts.
