FOR many years I have devoted coD»lderable attention to 

 the testing of new plants as they are introduced from 

 time to time, but comparatively few of them are calculated 

 to give entire satisfaction 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 of a place in every garden. Among 

 them will be found some rare gems of great value and won- 

 derful beauty, representing the cream of the world's produc- 

 tions. Maule's plants are not cheap plants, but they are of- 

 fered at prices that are as low as is consistent with honest 

 goods. It cannot be denied that cheap plants are dear at 

 any price, and it should not be a question of the number of 

 plants one gets for the money. Quality and size of plants 

 are entitled to first consideration. I know that every one 

 favoring me with an order for plants this year will be more 

 than satisfied with their investment. To my old customers 

 It is uunecessarv to say anything In regard to the superior 

 e.xcellence 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 1 send to 

 my customers can not be procured from any one. I propose 

 this year to increase the good reputation which they now 

 hold In the esteem of all lovers of fiowering plant life.
