The Best of the New Flowers Recently Introduced 



and all the old and well-tried favorites 



On pages 121 to 125 will be found the cream of all floral specialties of recent introduction, having been proven by 

 careful tests and selected as distinct additions to the general list of flower seeds on pages 126 to 164. 



Maule's list of flower seeds embraces every variety that is really good and desirable. The sale of flower seeds has 

 increased with us every year, due to the sui^erior quality of the seeds we supply. As with vegetable seeds, we make it 

 an invariable rule to ofl"er superior strains only. 



Flowers, especially your old favorites, are beautiful and you look forward to the pretty showing your garden will be, long 

 before a single seed is planted. This year, your interest can be increased by trying a few of Maule's Novelties or other flowers 

 you have never grown before. You will surely enjoy trying something new. There are many flowers, probably not so 

 well known, that are worthy of a place in every garden. 



The lists below were compiled for your convenience so that you can readily select proper varieties for difTerent purposes 

 or locations. These lists are by no means complete, but merely suggestive. Each variety, throughout the catalog, is clearly 

 described; height, growing habits and for what purposes they are best suited. Begin, right now, to plan your flower garden. 



When ordering flower seeds it is unnecessary to write the long names — it. is sufficient to give the number which we 

 have assigned each variety, but you must give the number correctly so you may receive just what you desire. 



Plain cultural directions are printed on every bag of Maule's flower seeds. 



All flower seeds are delivered by parcel post to your door or post-office, free of all extra charges, at prices given. 

 The diS'erent varieties listed on the following pages are designated either as Annuals, Biennials or Perennials. 



Hardy Annuals. Easily raised and suitable for many purposes; 

 excellent for cutting; Invaluable for bedding, some for color, others for 

 foliage etrect. They will always be popular with those who want quick 

 results with the least expenditure of time and money. Seed may be 

 started in the opea ground in early spring or sown indoors for earlier 

 effect. Plants will flower and die in the one season. 



Half Hardy Auuuals. Seeds should be sown In boxes in the house 

 or In hot-beds during March or April and the plants set out In the open 

 ground In May. They will flower for the one season and die. 



Hardy Biennials. Sow seed as you would the hardy annual. The 

 plants will not bloom until the following year, after which they die. 



Half Hardy Biennials. Seed should be sown as you would the half 

 hardy annuals. The plants require protection during the winter. They 

 will bloom and die the following season. 



Hardy Perennials. Seeds may be sown In early spring, or during 

 July aud August to produce plants that will flower the next season, 

 and continue to bloom each succeeding year. Seed of some hardy 

 perennials, If sown very early, will produce plants that will bloom the 

 same season. It Is unnecessary to give protection to these plants 

 during the winter, but It will prove beneficial to the plants if s 

 covering of leaves, litter or strawy manure Is provided. A hardy bed 

 or border, when once established, requires practically no attention and 

 will, If varieties have been properly selected aud arranged, provide an 

 abundance of flowers from early spring until frost. 



Half Hardy Perennials. Sow seed as you would the half hardy 

 annuals. If plants are set out In the open ground they must be 

 lifted before frost, potted up and taken In the house during the 

 winter.
