THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1909 



HELIOTROPE, 



Lemoine's 



GIANT HYBRIDS. 



One of the most superb strains 

 known among heliotropes, bear- 

 ing flowers of immense size and of 

 richest beauty and fragrance. The 

 colors range through all the shades 

 of blue, from violet to indigo. The 

 great trusses or floral heads are 

 sometimes a foot across, and are 

 magnificent in appearance. The 

 plants grow about two feet high, 

 and the foliage is peculiarly rich, 

 glossy and attractive. In wide 

 favor, both for open air culture 

 aud for window gardening. This 

 strain has become immensely pop- 

 ular. Pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 cts. 



Yellow Larkspur, 



ALLEGHENY HOLLYHOCKS, 

 MAMMOTH FRINGED. 



This class increases in popularity year by year. The 

 abundant flowers, which are 3 to 5 inches in diameter, 

 and either double or half double, are so finely fringed, 

 ff_-J> cut and curled as to suggest the bloom of some new 

 species of plant. The colors are pink, rose and ruby red, 

 darkest at the centre. The blooming season is a long 

 one, and the plants are as conspicuous as they are beau- 

 tiful. They are perfectly hardy and will thrive any- 

 where. Packet, 10 cents; 8 packets, 25 cents. 



IPOMOEA GRANDIFLORA. 



THE GIANT WHITE MOONFLOWER. 



The grandest strain of moonflower in the world. 

 Blossoms pure white, sweet scented and sometimes 5 

 or even 6 inches across. Earlier to bloom than the 

 white-seeded moonflower, and well adapted to North- 

 ern conditions. Buds open in the afternoon and re- 

 main open until well into the following day; and all 

 day in cloudy weather. Vines often 25 feet long, with 

 20 to 40 great flowers open at one time. I recommend 

 starting the seed in the house or under glass, in order 

 to hasten the growth of f lie vine and cause it to bloom ^m 

 earlier. Pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 cts.; % oz., 40 cts. 



PERENNIAL YELLOW LARKSPUR, 



ZALIL. 



A distinct and very showy hardy perennial yellow 

 larkspur. The several branches or flower spikes are 8 

 to 10 inches in length. The flowers are of a most lovely m 

 and delicate shade of sulphur yellow, the color of a 

 Marechal Niel rose, and are both beautiful and effec 

 tive. Packet. 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 



Allegheny Hollyhock, Mammoth Fringed. 



rf Sunflower, Perkeo. 



DWARF SUNFLOWER, 



PERKEO. 



This charming dwarf sunflower blooms the 

 whole season, in greatest profusion. It grows 

 a foot high and forms a bush about a foot in 

 diameter. The long-stemmed flowers are 2 to 

 3 inches across. They are bright yellow in 

 color, with dark centres, and make pretty and 

 durable cut flowers. 



Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 



Poppy, White Feather Ball. 



FEATHER BALL. 



This remarkably handsome an- 

 nual poppy grows 2 feet tall, and is 

 always admired. It is a free bloom- 

 er. The flowers when fully expanded 

 look like a ball of feathers, and are 

 of marvelous purity and beauty. 

 The floral size is about 5 inches. 



White Feather Ball. Pkt., 10 cts. 



Pink Feather Ball. Pkt., 10 cts. 



Scarlet Feather Ball. Pkt., 10 CtS. 



A packet of each of the three 

 feather ball poppies for only 25 cents.
