MAULE'S GIANT PANSIES ^&, 



FOR many years, in fact, ever since we have been in business, we have given particular attention to pansy seeds until 

 we really think our strains of pansies are as good as can be found anywhere in the world; all sterling sorts and of the 

 richest colors. Pansies demand good soil and plenty of moisture and are almost perfectly hardy. A number of people 

 are accustomed to sowing pansy seeds only in the fall, but for years we have been deluged with letters extolling the 

 size and color of the flowers raised from our seeds sown in the spring. We really think that the results obtained from our 

 spring sown seeds have been so remarkable that this is one reason why the demand for this beautiful and popular flower 

 increases with us so much every year, until some varieties we have to grow by the hundred weight. We do not think you 

 can make a mistake on any variety that you may select from the following list, whereas our Prize Mixed Giant pansies, 

 illustrated in colors on the 3rd cover of this Seed Book, we consider superior, in every way, to any other mixed pansies now 

 offered. The flowers should be picked frequently and constantly to encourage the development of the buds.

]^ew Early Flov^ering Hardy Pansies 



These new pansies are of great value, owing to the extreme hardiness of the plants and their extraordinarily early blooming time, producing 

 their flowers 4 to 6 weeks earlier than any other variety of pansies. Full grown plants will winter over in the open ground with but a slight pro- 

 tection of leaves, litter, etc., in very cold latitudes, and will begin flowering, so-to-say, under the snow in February and March, when other pans- 

 ies are only forming buds. These delicately perfumed pansies are of good size and will continue to bloom in great profusion until late summer.
