WM. HENRY MAULE, Inc., PHILADELPHIA, PA. Flower Seeds—143 Maule's Giant Pansies Hardy Biennial ness, we have given particular attention to pansy seeds un- til 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 peo- ple 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 this is one reason why the demand for this beautiful and popular flower increases with us so much every year, until some varie- ties we have to grow bj- the hundred weight. We do not think you can make a mistake on any variety that you may select from the following list, whereas our Prize Mixed Giant pan- sies, illustrated in colors on the 3rd cover of this Seed Book, we consider superior, in every way, to any other mixed pansies now ofTered. The flowers should be picked frequently and constantly to encourage the development of the buds. 1600 MAULE'S PHENOMENAL PANSY The wonderful size, colors and veinings of this lovely large pansy are simply Unsurpassable After years of close acquaintance with Phenomenal Pansj', since we in- troduced it to the American public, we again cordially commend it. It is as unique as it is large and beautiful. Thousands of our friends now know and admire them. The strain origi- nated in France, consisting of the largest, choicest, nd most "phe- nomenal" speci- mens that could be selected. Phe- nomenal Pansy ex- hibits those capti- vating wine red shades that are so rare among flow- ers. I'm k< t, 15 cts.; ' » II II < < , $1,25; I o II II t < , S2.25; nil 111 I Sh.OO.
