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 off 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 

 recommended for Autumn planting on graves, and for very early bedding, 

 as well as for early cut flowers. 



JOVE. Lower i)etals violet; upper ones light blue. 



MARS. Cornflower blue. 



NORTH POLE. Pure snow white. 



WODEN. Quite black. 



HELIOS. Pure yellow. 



WINTER SUN. Golden yellow, with dark eye. 



ICE KING. Silvery white, with dark blue eye. 



CELESTIAL QUEEN. Light or sky blue. 



CHARM OF MARCH. Dark velvety blue. 



MIXED. The above colors and other shades.

are both arriving in unwieldy numbers, 

 especially the latter, and great num- 

 bers remain unsold even with values as 

 ■ow as $1 per hundred. Some specially 

 ;j;ood colors realize $3 to $4 per hundred, 

 but they are the exception. Asters 

 range from 50 cents per hundred up- 



ward and are of extremely good quality 

 for the season. Carnations are about 

 done. Morning Glow still comes in. It is 

 a great hot-weather sort and brings $2 

 per hundred. Roses are rather small and 

 realize 50 cents per hundred upward. 

 A good many peas still come in, but 



they are short-stemmed and many are 

 wasted this weather. Lilies drag; so do 

 the miscellaneous outdoor flowers, such 

 as cosmos, dahlias, helichrysum, bach- 

 elor's buttons, sweet sultans, pink mal- 

 lows, etc. There is little call for orchids 

 and practically none for valley. Aspara-
