A Wild Flower Garden as Grown from Maule'S Seeds. 



1909 Not a tame garden of wild flowers, but a wild garden of tame flow 

 ers. A mixture of the choicest seeds, mostly annuals, to be sown ban-haz- 

 ard, in a promiscuous way. The results are both surprising and charm- 

 ing. It savorsjust enough of chance and guess-work to be interesting. For 



a number of vears I have sent out this mixture, and have received many 

 testimonials of the pleasing results obtained. To guess the Identity of 

 unknown plants In a flower bed, before they bloom, is like working a 

 puzzle. Unlike a lotterv there arp no blanks. Everything Is a prize. 



Packet, 10 ceuts; ounce, %5 ceuts; quarter pound, 75 cents; pound, $^2.50
