The KENILWORTH Giant Pansy Seed 



KENILWORTH GIANT PRIZE. I have Improved this strain by selecting and 

 saving seed from the best shaped flowers of the most gorgeous color for many 

 years. It Is of the blocked Masterpiece type. The plants distinguish them- 

 selves by their robust growth and healthy-looking foliage; they are deep 

 rooted and stand the hot, dry weather better than most other varieties. The 

 large flowers on long, thick stems are carried well above the foliage in the 

 most graceful manner, are of enormous size and of good substance. The 

 petals are exceedingly broad and cover each other in such a manner as to 

 make the flowers appear almost double. The border of each petal being 

 conspicuously undulated and curled, the gorgeous and varied colored bloa- 

 .soms of velvety texture, perfect form and giant size, frequently measuring 

 3% inches in diameter; the ground color such as yellow, white, deep orange, 

 mahogany brown, bronze blue, and endless variations. Most petals are beau- 

 tifully marked with a large blotch, a few are self-colored. They are spe- 

 cially flne for planting under glass or outside for cut flowers at all seasons. 

 500 seeds, 30c; 1000 seeds, 50c; % oz.. $1.10; V* oz., $2.50; % oz., $5.00; 1 oz.,

10. KENILWORTH GIANT EXHIBITION is the very finest complete mixture ever 

 sent out. Seed carefully saved only from marked plants of the best varieties, 

 with the largest and best shaped flowers and richest coloring. It is impossible 

 to convey an adequate idea of the delightful variations in color and mark- 

 ings of this unrivaled mixture. 500 seeds, 30c; 1000 seeds, 50c; hk oz., $1.35;

run of Trimardeau that is sold. It is a very showy class of vigorous, com- 

 pact growth. Flowers of enormous size in all the self colors, blocked, striped, 

 margined, etc. It is very doubtful if any other pansy will give as good sat- 

 isfaction as the Improved Trimardeau for all general purposes. 1000 seeds, 

 30c; 3000 seeds. 75c; Va. oz.. $1.35; % oz., $2.50; 1 oz., $5.00; 4 oz., $18.00.

pajxTs south of tlie Ohio river and on 

 till' I'acific cd.ist, and continuing from 

 March 1 to the present time, with larger 

 clipping slieets distributed throughout 

 the country, home garden information 

 and instruction have been distributed to 

 2,000 daily newspapers. 



The 2,000 jiajiers to which this serv- 

 ice was offered are located in, perhaps, 

 800 cities. Where one newspajier in a 

 city ordered our service, the other 

 papers in that city were cut off the list. 

 We received orders for our full service, 

 with illustrations, from 560 newspapers. 



representing more than 500 of the 800 

 cities possible to cover. 



Besults in Chicago. 



What effect does publicity of this 

 sort have on business? I can answer 

 from our experience. In Chicago we 

 have had garden articles supplied by 

 the national garden bureau in four 

 newspapers, one using the regular serv- 

 ice and three being supplied with 

 special service. I have good grounds 

 for believing that more business has 

 been developed for us by the garden 



publicity than by all our local adver- 

 tising. The publication of an article 

 on nasturtiums, for example, was fol- 

 lowed immediately by a demand much 

 greater than our advertisement of nas- 

 turtiums would have produced. Un- 

 doubtedly the information published in 

 these departments lessened, to a con- 

 siderable extent, the time taken by 

 clerks in answering questions, which is 

 so serious a drain on sales efficiency 

 in the rush season.

 own advertising with publicity articles
