Maule's Famous Pansies 



For Quality and Size of Bloom 



For many, many years, Maule has specialized in Pansies — and Maule 

 Pansies are today grown all over the world by those who want the very 

 best. In recent years this best loved of all flowers has been wonderfully 

 improved. Varieties like Oregon Giants, huge, long-stemmed, and brightly 

 colored, have been developed.

Growing Pansies for Profits 



Very few city or small town yards but sliow at least a few Pansies, in the Spring. 

 Pansy plants are so popular, they are almost assured of a market. They are easy 

 to grow too. Why not plan to grow this most profitable flower for sale hext Spring? 

 For sale of the plants in the Spring sow Pansy Seed in late July and August, 

 choosing a partially shaded place, and deeply prepared, well pulverized soil. The 

 seed bed must be kept moderately moist at all times. Covering it with paper or 

 cloth until the seed germinates will help. Transplant the seedlings, when they are 

 large enough to handle, into well enriched soil, setting them 8 in. apart. Pansies 

 are hardy and will live over winter without a frame. Mulch the plants with 

 straw, hay, or leaves after the ground has frozen. 



Remember that the Pansy plants with the largest flowers command the highest 

 prices, so select a large flowering variety. You cannot go wrong with Maule's 

 Pansies. 



From 4,000 to 8,000 Pansy plants will be had from an ounce of the seed. Maule's 

 leaflet "How to Grow Pansies," is free for the asking.

 artistic manner. The colors have especial depth and 

 richness, and there is a predominance of fine red 

 shades. The flowers are marked with blotches of
