The KENILWORTH Giant Pansy 



PANSIK8 IN 8KPARATK COLORS 



seeds are all grown by myself and are offered in the follow- 

 ing mixtures and separate colors: 



KENILWORTH STRAIN-The flowers are of perfect 

 form and substance: many of the immense flowers are from 

 3I3 to 4 inches; it is a striking collection of beautiful colors 

 and markings, rich with shades of red, brown, bronze, ma- 

 hogany and many others too numerous to mention. Light, 

 Medium or Dark Mixtures. 



KENILWORTH SHOW -An extra fine strain of large 

 flowers; the immense flowers are of circular form and great 

 substance; a beautiful collection of colors and markings. 



KENILWORTH CUT FLOWER MIXTURE- Is a dis- 

 tinct class by itself, surpassing all other strains as a cut 

 flower or for exhibition purposes, for inside or outside grow- 

 ing; the large flowers are carried erect above the foliage on 

 heavy stems, 7 or 8 inches long, in the most' graceful manner, 

 and stand the hot, dry weather well. 



MASTERPIECE— A remarkable type; the curled, wavy 

 petals giving the flower a double appearance, its large flowers 

 of great substance, on long, strong stems. 



ORCHID FLOWERED. Mixed-A dwarf free bloomer 

 with a range of delicate colors that do not exist in ai^y other 

 pansies, a remarkable combination of light rose, shell IHI^. 

 blush mauve, fawn, light brown, orange and chamois.

to great expense in putting in irri- 

 gating plants to save what they could. 

 The pumps have been kept running 

 night and day for weeks, but as the 

 land is so dry it is slow work and only 

 a small acreage has been covered. 



"The weather during April vpas 

 warm. Some days the temperature 

 reached the high mark of 89 degrees 

 in the shade. Such days only served 

 to accentuate the fact that there was 

 no moisture by causing the plants to 

 wilt. Sweet pea plants, though only 

 a foot high, were crowded with buds, 

 and here and there blooms could be 

 seen in the fields. It is expected that 

 the plants will give a number of poor 

 blossoms and then wither up. The 

 earlies came into flower earlier than 

 usual, and if cool weather prevails for 

 a time some little seed of them may be 

 saved. They average about one foot 

 high all over.
