New Early Flowering Giant Pansies 



Or Winter Blooming^ 



An entirely new and distinct strain of Pansies. The main advan- 

 tage of these new Pansies over all hitherto existing Pansies is the 

 extreme earliness of flowering and its unusual hardiness, which enables 

 them to withstand quite severe Winters, and to bloom right on into 

 the Summer. Sown at the same time as other Pansies, they begin 

 flowering the early part of March or as soon as the snow is oflf the 

 ground, many times having four or five large flowers to a plant, when 

 all other Pansies are only showing buds. The flowers are large, well 

 formed and fragrant. They are highlv recommended for Autumn 

 planting on graves, and for very early bedding, as well as for early 



cut flowers.
