"MASTERPIECE" 

 OR RUFFLED PANSY 



This strain comes nearer to "Dou- 

 ble Pansy" than anything else in- 

 troduced under the name. The num- 

 ber of Dftals is the same as that in 

 the other Pansy flowers, but they 

 are crimped and curled in such a 

 fashion that the flowers appear dou- 

 ble. The flowers are of enormous 

 size, often 3 inches across, and the 

 color variations and combinations 

 are odd and striking. Pkt., 150 

 seeds, 10 cts. 



BLACK PRINCE PANSY 



A distinct Pancy of sterling merit. 

 The rich, glossy black has a peculiar 

 soft velvety appearance; the mag- 

 nificent, large flowers are of fine 

 circular form and carried upright 

 well above the foliage; plants are 

 of very compact bushy habit. Pkt., 

 150 seeds, 5 cts. 



NEW GIANT TBIMABDEAU PANSY— Remarkable for extra large size of the 

 flowers. Pkt., 150 seeds, 5 cts. 



NEW BED ivnXED PANSY — The most brilliant Pansy mixture ever offered ; made 

 up from a collection of all the best red and fiery shades. Pkt., 150 seeds, 5 cts. 



FIBE KING PANSY— Comes almost absolutely true, scarcely a plant bearing 

 flowers at variance from the type, which is very distinct and striking. The lower 

 petals each have a large blotch of deep brown-red or magenta, margined with yellow, 

 while the upper petals are of a bright reddish-brown. Pkt., 150 seeds, 5 cts. 



SNOW QUEEN PANSY— Pure satiny white, with yellow dot in center of flower, 

 sometimes marked near center with faint blue or purple lines. Pkt., 150 seeds, 5 cts. 



PEACOCK PANSY — A beautiful variety of ultramarine blue in the upper petals 

 of the flower, edged with a thin white line, within which is a space of purplish 

 crimson, passing into a rich central blotch of deep blue, shading to black. Named 

 "Peacock" because the blending colors resemble those of peacock feathers. Pkt., 150 



SWEET-SCENTED PANSIES— The perfume of the violet, the beauty of the 

 pansy. This class is the result of crossing the Pansy with the Sweet Violet. The 

 resulting hybrids, in addition to retaining the delightful Violet perfume, produce the 

 most beautiful Pansy-like blossoms, 2 to ly^ inches across, of great substance and of 

 an endless variety of colors. Mixed colors. Pkt., 150 seeds, 5 cts. 



GOOD MIXED — Fine for bedding; many rich colors. Pkt., 300 seeds, 4 cts. 



NOTICE— ONE PACKET EACH OF THE 19 VABIETIES FOB 95 CTS. 



PORTULACA, DOUBLE FLOWERING 



MOSS BOSE — One of the most showy and beautiful annuals, with abundant, 

 highly-colored flowers. For baskets, beds, masses or edgings it is invaluable. The 

 seed I offer will give a good proportion of double flowers. Pkt., 1000 seeds, 5 cts.; 

 oz., $2.00. 



PLATYCODON 



CHINESE BELL. FLOWEB— Hardy perennials, producing very showy flowers 

 during the whole season. They form large clumps and are excellent for planting in 

 permant borders or among shrubbery. Mixed blue and white. Pkt., 300 seeds, 5 cts. 



Bakersfield, Calif., March 7, 1915. 

 Last July I bought pansy seed from you and planted them the first day of August 

 and they commenced blooming the first of January. Sorpe of the bloom measured 

 2% inches across. Sold 50 dozen plants at 25 cents per dozen. Thought you would 

 like to know how they do in California. M. A. Goar. 2.509 H Street.
