GIANT PANSIES 



VAUGHAN'S INTERNATIONAL The world's Best. 



This mixture has been 

 made up and sold by us for fifteen years. It contains the most varied colors, types, 

 blendings and unique kinds that can be found in all the world. During the past 

 three or four years we have added only the Giant strains which have been produced 

 by French and German growers. Enormous in size, many with ruffled edges, with 

 extremely thick velvety petals. This is the best general mixture in existence, and is 

 the most widely known and pipular. The worth of our Pansy Seed is best known to 

 professional florists. Probably more than half of the American florists use our seeds. 



Price, Pkt. (250 seeds) 25 cts.; 5 Pkts. (1,250 seeds) $1.00 

 NEW ORCHID-FLOWERED PANSIES 



A mixture of the most surprising, novel, unique and beautiful color combinations, 

 entirely new among Pansies. The ground color of nearly all the flowers is in light 

 shades ; the petals are marked with large brown or golden yellow blotches which 

 diffuse into rays and veins toward the edge. The upper petals are upright and sort 

 of plaited, which gives the flowers their resemblance to orchids. The colors range 

 in the terra-cotta shadings as well as in the flesh, orange, rose, pink and lilac. 



Pkt. 15 cts. 



Vaughan/s " Elite " Mixture of Pansies 



This is not a complete mixture like our International; it does not contain any 

 pure white, yellow or any self colors, nor any other of the well-known kinds. It is 

 comprised of the Cream of four Pansy specialists' choicest and most expensive 

 mixtures and such new and novel kinds as listed above. It is a mixture that will 

 please everybody who likes Pansies and can appreciate quality in color, shape, size 

 and substance — in fact everything that makes a perfect Pansy. 



Pkt. (250 seeds) 50 cts.

TESTIMONIALS. 



Henley Beach, South Australia. 



I had not intended growing" any 

 Pansies next season, but your "Elite 

 Mixture " is so good everybody who 

 sees the flowers will want some. 



Your "International "and" Giant" 

 Pansy Mixturesare also splendid, in 

 fact the very best I've seen. 



I am pleased to be able to say that 

 all seeds I have had from you have 

 been fresh and good, and in every 

 way just as you represent them to be. 



If the seeds I am now ordering are 

 equal to the previous lots I have had 

 I shall be more than satisfied.

 such lovely Pansies.

"VAUGHAN'S BEST" LARGE-FLOWERING SINGLE PETUNIA 



For freedom of bloom, varietv of colors, ease of culture and effectiveness Petunias take 

 rank with Astors, Phlox and Verbenas. If only a little care is bes-owed upon them 

 Petunias will produce their handsome, sweet-scented flowers in their delicate and 

 gorgeous colors throughout the whole Summer. 



" Vaughan's Best " Mixture of Large Flowering Petunias 



This mixture is made up by ourselves and includes all the best sorts and colors of the 

 Large flowering and Fringed sorts, and the unsurpassed Superbissima varieties, with 

 their delicately veined throats in various colors and their truly mammoth flowers. We 

 are positive that no other Petunia Mixture can produce flowers with as wide a range 

 of colors as our Vaughan's Best. Packet, 25c; 3 packets for 60c. 



NEW SALVIA SPLENDENS, DROOPING SPIKES 



This new, large flowering Silvia (Scarlet Sage) has three times the flowering capacity on each spike of the 

 ordinary Salvia Splendens. '1 he flowers are produced in great numbers, causing the spikes to droop by their 

 weight. The flowers are of the most brilliant, dazzling scarlet, produced in endless profusion and until late 

 in the Fall. Pkt. (75 seeds) 10c, 3 for 25c, V& oz. 40c
