Maule's Giant Pansies b"™, 



rdy 

 ial 



FOR many years, in fact ever since we have been in business, we have given particular attention to pansy seeds, until 

 we really think our strains of pansies are as good as can be found anywhere in the world; all sterling sorts and of the 

 richest colors. Pansies demand good soil and plenty of moisture and are almost perfectly hardy. A number of people 

 are accustomed to sowing pansy seeds only in the fall, but for years we have been deluged with letters extolling the 

 size and color of the flowers raised from our seeds sown in the spring. We really think that the results obtained from our 

 spring sown seeds have been so remarkable that tbis is one reason why the demand for this beautiful and popular flower 

 increases with us so much every year, until some varieties we have to grow by the hundred weight. 



1614 Maule's Prize Mixed Giant Pansies 



A carefully prepared mixture of all the richest, handsomest and largest pansies known. Year 

 by year we watch the productions of American and European specialists and secure everything 

 truly meritorious for incorporation into our prize mixture. Pansy seed is a very high priced 

 commodity, and it is next to impossible for the average flower lover to buy all the new sorts on 

 the market; all the types that are really desirable will be found in Maule's Prize Mixture. Look 

 for blossoms 2% to 3}^ inches across, of perfect texture, and in full range of colors. 



Packet, 20 cents; ounce, $1.25; % ounce, $2.25; ounce, $8.00. 



Maule's Pansies are Prize Winners Everywhere 



I can recommend your seeds and will continue to do so after the success I have had with your pansies. I 

 may state that I took all the prizes ottered at our show last month with blooms grown exclusively from seed 

 supplied by you. These were grown side by side ot others that I had from noted pansy specialists from Eng- 

 land but they had to take a back seat when it came to a competition, England versus America. America won 

 every time and 1 have confidence that other seed will prove of equal merit. I will give them the chance to 

 demonstrate to my gardening friends the value of Maule's seeds and solicit patronage at the same time.
