The Best of the New Flowers Recently Introduced 



and all the old and well-tried favorites 



The sales of flower seeds and bulbs continue to increase with us each year, but the increased sales last season far 



f3eeded all previous years. Two reasons may be attributed to this large increase; the superior excellence of 



ule's seeds and the desire of more people to beautify their home surroundings. 



The large business done by us in bulbs and seeds last fall is a sure indication there will be a greater demand 



flowers this coming spring than ever before. Our stocks were never of better quality; our supply was never 



complete; we are prepared to properly care for your orders. 



The different varieties listed on the following pages are designated either as Annuals, Biennials or Perennials. 



Hardy Perennials. Seeds may be sown in early spring', or 

 during July and August to produce plants that will flower the 

 next season, and continue to bloom each succeeding year. 

 Seed of some hardy perennials, if sown very early, will pro- 

 duce plants that will bloom the same season. It is unnec- 

 essary to give protection to these plants during the winter, 

 but it will prove beneficial to the plants if a covering of 

 leaves, litter or strawy manure is provided. A hardy bed or 

 border, when once established, requires practically no atten- 

 tion and will, if varieties have been properly selected and 

 arranged, provide an abundance of flowers from early spring 

 until frost. 



Half Hardy Perennials. So^v seed as you would the half 

 hardy annuals. If plants are set out in the open ground they 

 must be lifted before frost, potted up and taken in the house 

 during the winter. 



lardy Annuals. Easily raised and suitable for many pur- 

 ies; excellent for cutting; invaluable for bedding, some for 

 im^or, others for foliage effect. They will always be popular 

 ;h those who ■want quick results with the least expenditure 

 time and money. Seed may be started in the open ground 

 early spring or sown indoors for earlier effect. Plants will 

 ver and die in the one season. 



■lalf Hardy Annuals. Seeds should be sown in boxes in the 

 ise or in hot-beds during March or April and the plants 

 out in the open ground in May. They will flower for the 

 J season and die. 



ilardy Biennials. Sow^ seed as you would the hardy annual, 

 e plants will not bloom until the following year, after 

 ich they die.' 



ialt Hardy Biennials. Seed should be sown as you would 

 i half hardy annuals. The plants require protection during 

 : winter. They will bloom and die the following season. 



When ordering flower seeds, it is unnecessary to write the long names — it is sufficient to GIVE THE NU]VrBBR 

 iiich we have assigned each variety, but you must GR'^E THE VARIETY NUIVIBER CORRECTLY to receive just 

 Hat you desire. 



All flower seeds are delivered by parcel post to your door or post-office, free of all extra charges, at prices given. 



ist of Plants, Grown from Seed, Suitable for Special Purposes and Different Situations 



The lists below were compiled for your convenience so that you can readily select proper varieties for different 

 rposes or locations. These lists are by no means complete, but merely suggestive. Each variety, throughout the cat- 

 )g, is clearly described; height, growing habits and for what purposes they are best suited. The Flower Gar- 

 aer's Calendar on page 142 tells when and what to plant at certain periods to procure the best results. Directions 

 w to plant are printed on every package of Maule's Flower Seeds. A study of both should make your flower grow- 

 j a success. Your success is our success — we are as much interested as you are in the results obtained from 

 iving Maule's Seeds.
