New Early-flowering or Winter-blooming 



GIANT PANSIES 



An entirely new and distinct strain of Pansies. The main 

 advantage 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 ofC 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 highly recom- 

 mended for Autumn planting on graves and for very early 

 bedding, as well as for early cut flowers.

 carried well above the foliage. Attractive by the brilliancy of its colors.
