THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1913 



Maule's Giant Pansies 



Hardy 

 Biennial 



FOB many years, in fact, ever since I have been in busi- 

 ness, I liave given particular attention to pansy seeds un- 

 til I really think I liave as good strains of pansies as can 

 be found anywhere in the world; all sterliug sorts and of the 

 richest colors. Pansies demand good soil and plenty of 

 moisture and are almost perfectly hardy. A number of peo- 

 ple are accustomed to sowing pansy seeds only in the fall, 

 but for years I have been deluged with letters extolling the 

 size and color of the flowers raised from iny seeds sown in the 

 spring. I really think that the results obtained from my 



spring sown seeds have been so remarkable that this is one 

 reason why the demand for this beautiful and popular flower 

 increases with me so much every year, until some varie- 

 ties I have to grow by the hundred weight. I do not think you 

 can make a mistake on any variety that you may select from 

 the following list, whereas my Prize Mixed Giant pansies, 

 so well illustrated in colors on back of this Seed Book, I con- 

 sider superior, in every way, to any other mixed pansies now 

 offered. The flowers should be picked frequently and con- 

 stantly to encourage the development of the buds.
