CURRIE BROTHERS CO. FARM AND GARDEN ANNUAL 



PANSIES. 



We make -a specialty of choice Pansies, and our collection contains the finest varieties 

 now in cultivation. The seed may be sown any time from September to March, though 

 our experience teaches us that those spring sown — that is, during January, February 

 and March — bloom better during the hot dry weather in summer than those that havi 

 been exhausted before the hot, dry weather sets in. 



MAMMOTH FLOWERING PANSIES. 

 Currie's Superfine Scotch — This beautiful strain is saved for us by one of Pkt. 

 the largest and most noted Pansy growers in Scotland from varieties that 

 have received the first premium at the international flower show of Great 

 Britain and other prominent exhibitions for a number of years, and to- 

 day it remains pre-eminently the finest strain of Pansy in cultivation. It 

 is unexcelled by any in size of flower (many of the single blooms measur- 

 ing over three inches across), and for richness of color and beautiful 

 markings, it has no equal. Mixed colors
