HOW TO SOW 
Pansy Seeds. 
THE best meth- 
od for sowing 
Pansy seeds is to 
select a good piece 
of rich ground, 
dig and rake thor- 
oughly, scatter the 
seed evenly onthe 
surface and cover 
thinly by sieving 
over it some rich, 
light soil, pat 
gently with a 
board or spade, 
water thoroughly 
and shade during 
the middle of the 
day. 
MAULE’S PRIZE MIXED PANSIES. 
The Finest Mixture of Pansies. Atagreat expenselI have gathered together all the new 
introductions of both continents, and offer them in one grand mixture. Many of the flowers 
are of mammoth proportions, measuring from 2 to 3 inches across, variously striped, blotched, 
veined and marbled, superior to anything previously offered. If you wish a charming display 
of show pansies, you should plant at least 4 packet of Maule’s Prize Mixed. I feel confident that 
their perfection of form, firmness of texture, freedom of bloom and elegance of coloring, are fea- 
tures that tend to make this Pansy the people’s flower. Packet, 20 cts.; 3 packets, 50 cts.
