NEW IMPERIAL 

 JAPANESE MORNING GLORIES. 



Single and Double Mixed. 



These magnificent Japanese 

 morning glories (my seed is 

 grown in Japan) continue in 

 wide and almost unbounded 

 popular favor. The color ef- 

 fects are striking and bril- 

 liant, and the flower mark- 

 ings quite as strange and 

 peculiar as the illustrations 

 indicate. They are entirely 

 distinct from common morn- 

 ing: glories, embracing a far 

 greater range of tint, color 

 and marking, and are both 

 single and double. Frequent- 

 ly there are three or four col- 

 ors in a single flower, while 

 all have white, pink, crimson 

 or lilac throats. The vines 

 attain a length of twenty or 

 thirty feet, though doing well 

 on lower trellises or arbors. 

 Tbey branch freely and are 

 distinctly ornamental. The 

 foliage is quite variable. 

 Some varieties have plain 

 green leaves, others leaves of 

 bronze, while still others are 

 blotched and variegated with 

 silver white or gray. Tbey 

 are remarkably quick bloom- 

 ers, sometimes producing 

 flowers within three weeks 

 from the plant ing of the seed. 

 The seed should go into the ground as soon as the weat her Is warm. 

 The surpassing feature of these New Imperial Japanese Morning 

 Glories is the flower, which measures four or sometimes even six 

 inches across, and which has more substance and durability than 

 the common morning glory. Some flowers are of deep, rich, vel- 

 vety tones. The solid colors range through the the reds, from soft 

 rose to crimson, and thence to bronze and garnet; through the 

 blues, from light blue to ultramarine, indigo and purple; and 

 from snow white to cream and silver gray. Some are striped, 

 starred and spotted; others have magnificent edges and throats. 

 1 can truly say that the Japanese morning glories are, by all 

 odds, the grandest climbers ever offered, and that all of my custo- 

 mers should include them in their seed orders. The single flowers 

 are larger than the double ones, but the double flowers are, In 

 some respects, -most interesting. I offer both single and double in 

 one grand mixture, thus insuring a fine display. Every packet 

 contains the best sorts. Packet, 10 cents ; 3 packets, 25 cents. 



PURPLE FEATHER GRASS. 



AS PRETTY AS A PALM. 



One of the most ornamental decorative grasses 

 ever introduced, as useful for hall or table adorn- 

 ment as many a palm, and having the advantage 

 oi' rapid and vigorous growth. The graceful, nar- 

 row, recurving leaves are produced in succession 

 by hundreds, and are overtopped by elegant 

 feathery plumes a foot long. These plumes or 

 feathers are available for vase decorations or 

 for dry grass bouquets. Seeds should be sown 

 indoors, in March, in pots or shallow boxes, and 

 the plants set out when danger of frost is past. 

 The heads will be produced from July until frost, 

 and the whole plant is eventually veiled in a pur- 

 ple cloud. Greatly admired. Pkt., 10c; 3 pkts., 25c. 



Up=to=date Floriculture. 



On each packet of Maule's Flower Seeds will be 

 found carefully written cultural directions so plain 

 that a child can grow readily the most deli- 

 cate plants.

New French Marigolds. 



The new French marigolds are beautiful and 

 desirable. Their colors are rich and they 

 bloom continuously. Their habit is dwarf and 

 very bushy, and thus are of great value as a 

 border plant along walks or for massing in 

 beds. I oiler two very choice sorts. 



FRENCH MARIGOLD SILVER KING.— 



A beautiful new dwarf strain, only 8 inches 

 high. Flowers produced in great abundance 

 and of perfectly uniform marking. Color vel- 

 vety brow n, surrounded by pale lemon, almost 

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

 HONOR. — Much like Silver King, but the 

 lemon edge or frame of the flower is a rich, 

 golden yellow. Height of plant inches. A 

 pretty companion for silver King. Pkt., Sets. 



NICOTIANAS. 



FOR FOLIAGE AND FLOWERS- 



The botanical relationship of these fine 

 plants with tobacco is no reason for denying 

 them a place in bed or border. They are In 

 high esteem where known, and I consider 

 them great acquisitions, on account of both 

 handsome foliage and perfumed flowers. 



NICOTI ANA SYLVESTRIS. — A strong 

 growing annual, with rich, handsome loliage.

 of any kind. Pkt., 5 cts.; ti pkts., 25 els. 



NICOTIANA SEAVEOLENS.— A dwarf 

 variety, attaining a height ol only 1 or 2 leet.

 tiana is available for backgrounds against 

 higher foliage or against walls, and is a 

 charming thing for the purpose. It Is a 

 rather shy seeder. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., L"jc.

 varieyata. — A fine, tall growing variety ot
