of this catalogue to the many low-priced special offers of 
new and desirable Plants, to be found in the next eight pages. 
It has been my aim to’select only those plants that will give the 
purchaser the utmost satisfaction, and I know that every one favor- 
ing me with an order for plants this year will be more than satisfied 
with their investment. To my old customers it is unnecessary to 
say anything in regard to the superior excellence 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 Maule’s Plants are just as 
reliable as Maule’s Seeds. More cannot be said, for better seeds ! 
than Maule’s were never sold, and stromger, healthier Plants | 
than I propose to semd my customers the coming season can _ 
not be procured from any one; at least, such has been the ver- | 
dict of all who have tried them, and I propose this year to increase 
the good reputation which they now hold in the esteem of all lovers ; 
of flowering plant life. 
Begonias, New Fancy Leaved. 
“REX BEGONIAS.’’ 
COUNTESS LOUISE ERDODY.—The leaf has a metallic lustre, 
dark silvery in the centre, shading into coppery rose; evenly edged 
with the same hue, but more brilliant. The peculiarity which dis- 
tinguishes it from all other Begonias, is that the two lobes at the } 
base of the leaf do not grow side by side, but one of them winds in a 
spiral-like way until in a full-grown leaf, there are four of these | 
twists lying on the top of the leaf nearly two inches high. : 
BERTHA McGREGOR.—Leaf, long, pointed and with six deep / 
notches. A free, strong grower, producing foliage in abundance; the | 
centre of leaf is small, dark and palm-shaped, the body of leaf being | 
solid silver, outlined with bronze, extremely elegant. 
LOUISE CLOSSON.—The most highly-colored of the Rex fam- 
ily, of the type of L. Chretien, but much brighter. The leafis zoned 
with very bright, rosy violet and shades to bronze-maroon. 
ALICK WHITE.—A curious-colored variety, ground color 
greenish white, veined with dark green, edged and spotted in the 
most unique manner, 
DUCHESS DE BEDFORD.—Not so new; one of the best. Leaves 
large, satiny white, spotted bright green, the whole veined with red. 
FLORA HILL.—Somewhat upright in growth; leaves deeply 
notched; color silvery green, striped with a deeper shade; suffused 
with royal purple; very handsome. ;
