 very rich with 

 well rotted man- 

 ure; the seed 

 should be covered 

 lightly; and dur- 

 ing warm weather 

 the pansy bed 

 must be regular- 

 ly and freely 

 watered. That is 

 the whole secret 

 of success with 

 pansies — except 

 to start with good 

 seeds of the right 

 strains. Pansies 

 are for everybody. 



MaulE's Prize Mixed Pansies. 



MAULE'S PRIZE MIXED PANSIES. 



This famous pansy mixture is a carefully 

 chosen assortment of the richest, handsomest 

 and largest pansy types known in the floral 

 world. Year by year 1 watch the productions 

 of American and European specialists, and se- 

 cure whatever is truly meritorious for my pa- 

 trons. Pansy seed is a very high priced com- 

 modity, and it is next to impossible for the 

 amateur or even the professional gardener to 

 buy all the new sorts on the market; but 

 everything really desirable and likely to be 

 permanent will be found in Maule's Prize 

 Mixture, and can be cheaply purchased in 

 that form. People who sow this strain in good 

 soil may look for blossoms 2,'.j to 3 inches 

 across, of perfect texture, and in full range of 

 color. Every plant will prove to have royal 

 blood In its veins. Packet, 20 cents; 3 packets, 

 60 cents; ounce, S2.00; ounce, js.00. 



MASTERPIECE. 



This grand new giant pansy is remarkable 

 in several respects, especially in having the 

 borders of the petals waved or frilled, which 

 gives the flower an almost double appearance. 

 The type is altogether novel and distinct, and 

 is meeting with general appreciation. An- 

 other noteworthy characteristic of Master- 

 piece is its novel tints and markings, certain 

 of the colors differing from any heretofore 

 known in the pansy. The flowers are very- 

 large and the plant is a profuse bloomer, and 

 altogether I consider Masterpiece a remark- 

 able introduction. Pkt., 20 cts.; 3 pkts., CO cts. 



president Mckinley. 



Almost black, with yellow margin. Flowers 

 two to three inches in diameter. The blotches 

 are really dark reddish brown, exceedingly 

 rich. This is a magnificent pansy; one of the 

 most bold and showy of the newer sorts. It is 

 early flowering and a profuse bloomer. 

 Packet, 15 cts.; 2 packets, 25 cts.; ounce, £1.25. 



PRESIDENT CARNOT.

 companion pansy for the McKinley. Packet, 

 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents; % ounce, $1.25.
