New Early-flowering or Wlnter- 

 hlooming Giant Paneles 



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

 vantage of these new Pansies over all hitherto existing Pansies is 

 the extreme earliness of flowering and the unusual hardiness, which 

 enables them to withstand quite severe winters, and to bloom right 

 OH 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 and for very early bedding, as well as for early 

 cut flowers.
