The KENILWORTH Giant Pansy 



seeds are all grown by myself and are offered in the following mixtures and 

 separate colors: 



22 — KENHiWOBTH STRAIN— The flowers are of perfect form and substance; 

 many of the immense' flowers are from 3% to 4 inches; it is a striking 

 collection of beautiful colors and markings, rich with shades of red, 

 brown, bronze, mahogany and many others too numerous to mention. 

 Light, Medium or Dark Mixtures. 



24 — KENILWORTH SHOW — An extra fine strain of large flowers; the im- 

 mense flowers are of' circular form and great substance; a beautiful 

 collection of colors and markings. ' •> •' 



26— KENILWORTH OUT FLOWER MIXTUBB^Is a distinct class by itself, 

 surpassing all other strains as a cut flower or for exhibition purposes, 

 for inside or outside growing; the large flow'ers 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. 



28 — BIASTERPIECE — A remarkable type; the curled, wavy petals giving the 

 flower a double appearance, large flowers of great substance, on long, 

 strong stem. 



SO— GIANT THREE AND FIVE BLOTCHED PANSIES— A superb mixture. 

 Flowers large and of circular form and of great substance. The display 

 of coloring is unsurpassed, r A combination of almost every shade of 

 rich velvety colors, reds arf 'particularly conspicuous; the petals being 

 distinctly marked with thttie or five large dark blotches.

Evils in Advertising. 



This opportunity should not be al- 

 lowed to pass without the observation 

 that it is a course of gratification to 

 see the trade tending to higher ideals 

 in advertising. Particularly does this 

 apply to the pernicious offering of 

 premiums and coupons. In both cata- 

 logue and journal advertising the prices 

 quoted should be net and show only the 

 exact price at which the goods are 

 sold. The time has come in the his- 

 tory and development of the trade 

 when the seedsman should not demean 

 his business by this method. Let the 

 prices quoted in advertising and cata- 

 logues reveal the real facts. 



I wish to call attention to the prac- 

 tice of making undignified impersonal 

 references to competitors in advertise- 

 ments and catalogues. It sometimes 

 happens that in territory where the 

 mail-order business is Iteenly • contested 

 a firm, in a moment of weakness, will 

 debase his otherwise commendable ad- 

 vertising by stooping to make slurring 

 reference to another seedsman or firm. 

 No names are used, but a direct at- 

 tack is intended, and for this., reason

the proceeding is all the more undig- 

 nified. Such competition is unfair and 

 always emanates from a man addicted 

 to lapses from good ethics. The com- 

 petitor vpon whom the attack is inade 

 always strengthens his position by ab- 

 solute silence. The best houses do not 

 condescend to such methods.
