The KENILWORTH Giant Pansy Seed 



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

 savins seed from the beat shaped flowers of the most gorgeous color for many 

 years. It is of the bloclied 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 blos- 

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

Ultra 



M*nt1nn Th» R»t1»w when won wr1t» 



were in 1920. Sales of millets, serges, 

 '■■••pe .md a few other late-sown ferage 



• Top seeds, however, were below last 

 year and normal in practically every 

 ^geographical division, according to data 

 obtained by the Bureau of Markets and 

 ' 'rep Estimates of the United States 



• •epartment of Agriculture. The increase 

 in sales of clover and grass seeds is 

 thought to be of far-reaching signifl- 

 ••Jtnce in that it indicates, a return of 

 .igrieulture to a more economic basis. 

 Kood, feed, and fiber crops were pro- 

 duced during the past few years at the 



expense ef plowing up many old mead- 

 ows, but this year, with the price of 

 seeds down in line with that of other 

 farm products and mere farmers than 

 usual having produced their own seed, 

 new meadows and pastures have been 

 sown. 



The stringent financial situation was 

 no doubt a strong factor affecting the 

 retail demand for seeds. A larger per- 

 centage than usual of the farmers sowed 

 seeds of their own production and many 

 of them had a surplus of seed which was 

 sold to neighboring farmers rather than 



to dealers for recleaning and resale. 

 Of course many seeds are produced in 

 well defined localized areas, but are 

 sown extensively throughout the 

 United States. Clovers and grasses are 

 in this class and the sale and distribu- 

 tion of these were stimulated by the 

 I'omparatively low prices. 



Lancaster, Mass. — W. E. Allen has 



been connected with the trade for three 

 years. He is now operating an 8,000-foot 

 range and is expecting to enlarge it 

 soon.
