VioLta, BUTTERFLY. 


UMBRELLA PLANT. 
Cyperus. As handsome and graceful as 
a palm, yet of easiest culture. It will grow 
and flourish in rooms that have only 
partial light. It needs rich soil and 
much water. It is a perennial. 
Alternifolius. Packet, 10 cents. 
VERBENA. 
See Novelties. A choice annual, 6 to 12 
inches high, in universal favor and in- 
dispensable for bedding purposes. Flow- | 
ers, white, scarlet, red, crimson, purple, | 
etc. Verbenas raised from seed are 
usually fragrant. To hasten bloom it 
is better to start the seed in a window 
box or hot bed. The plants should stand 
about a foot apart in the open ground, 
and the flowers cut frequently. Seedling 
verbenas are stronger and less liable to 
disease than others.

sorts; many colors. Packet, 10 cents.

the finest colored verbenas ever offered 
in a single packet. Packet, 10 cents.

WIOLA. 
Violet. The popular fragrant sort, 
blooming very early in the spring. Per- 
fectly hardy perennial. It will bloom 
earlier if protected during extremely 
severe weather. Easily grown from 
seed. The double violets are multiplied 
by division of the roots. See the Plant 
Department. The following are single:

blossoms in profusion in spring. One of 
the most satisfactory of the hardy climb- 
ers. I offer a mixture of the best blue 
and white Chinese sorts. Packet, 10 cts.

Beautiful, free-blooming annual, 1 foot 
high, highly prized as an everlasting.

In last year’s cat 
alogue I offered 
$200 in Cash Prizes for the Ladies 
and I continue the same offer this year. 
In addition to you and your 
neighbor each receiving the Collection of Parisian Flowers, if your 
order amounts to $3.00 or over, (See page 127) as an extra inducement 
for the ladies to influence an order from their neighbor, I will pay $50.00 
for the largest combined order sent 
me in a Single envelope next sea- 
son; $40.00 for the second largest combined order; $30.00 for the third; 
$20.00 for the fourth; $10.00 for the fifth, and $5.00 for each of the next 
ten largest combined orders sent 
me before July Ist, 1905. Please 
remember this offer is only for the ladies, and does not apply to the 
men. Last year’s prizes were awarded as follows: 
$50.00, Mrs. H. S. Armstrong, Glenshaw, N. J. 
$40.00, Mrs. A. Hromada, Westminster, Mass. 
$30.00, Mrs. Maggie Hanna, Denison, Texas. 
20.00, Lena C, Stevens, Phoenix, Oregon.

$10.00, Miss Emma A. Schmidt, Saltsburg. Pa. 
00, Pauline Eatsrow, Nickerson, Kansas. 
.00, Mrs. Jas. A. Rude, Hamburg, N. J. 
00, Mrs. M. E. Tollinger, Wrightsdale, 
00, Mrs. G. L. Peabody, Springwater, N. Y. 
, Mrs. C. H. Milnes, Beaver Falls, Pa. 
5.00, Mrs. E. P. Tuttle. Speonk, New York. 
5.00, Mrs. J. L. Hayhurst, Watson, W. Va. 
5.00, Mrs. Samuel Evans, Elkhorn, W. Va. 
3 5.00, Mrs. J. Desmond, Stella, California. 
Own and neighbor’s order, $31.59 
Own and neighbor’s order, $29.00 
Own and neighbor’s order, $25.45 
Own and neighbor’s order, $24.60 
Own and neighbor’s order, $23.45 
Own and neighbor’s order, $16.90 
Own and neighbor’s order, $15.65 
Pa. Own and neighbor’s order, $13.60 
Own and neighbor’s order, $12.34 
Own and neighbor’s order, $12.05

Own and neighbor’s order, $11.15 
Own and neighbor’s order, $10.92 
Own and neighbor’s order, $10.80 
Own and neighbor’s order, $10.70 


From the above it will be seen that these combined orders amounted 
to very little more than the prizes t 
hemselves. Now I think this cata- 
logue is good enough not only to secure your own order, but also that 
of your neighbor, and with but little trouble on your part, you may 
receive next summer a nice check that will come in very handy for 
pin money. Read page 127, where 
remember that your neighbor can be either a man or a woman. 
conditions are plainly stated, and 
Last 
year I made the statement that a $25.00 or $30.00 order would likely cap- 
ture the first prize. I do not thin 
k there is any doubt but the same 
thing will hold good this year, still Iam perfectly willing to award the 
money to these small orders, from the fact that I have found it a very 
effective way to introduce Maule’s 
Seeds to new buyers. Remember, 
these neighbors’ orders have nothing whatever to do with the $1,000 
Prize Club Competition on page 5. 
This $200 is paid to those sending 
me the largest combined orders in a single envelope.
