THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1909 



Tall Variegated Leaved 

 Nasturtiums. 



New Tall fTa.riesa.ted Queen. See illus- 

 tration of a leaf. The plant has a most striking 

 aspect, as each leaf is variegated in a distinctly 

 different degree with yellow, white and green, so 

 that no two appear alike. The leaves are not 

 quite ris large as the ordinary tall varieties, yet the 

 plant is of very vigorous growth and should be 

 allowed ample room for development, as more 

 variegations appear to be where the plant has the 

 most room. The flowers are of a charming shade 

 of rich scarlet maroon, deeper in color at base of 

 petal. Comes entirely true from seed. Pkt, 10c. 



Jfew Tall Variesaled Crystal Queen. 

 The leaves are light green, heavily blotched and 

 striped with white, and also occasionally with yel-

 marked with a fine brown streak. Pkt., 10 cts.
