CURRIE'S SUPERFINE SCOTCH. 



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

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

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

 and March — bloom better during the hot, dry weather in summer than those that have been 

 sown in September and "wintered over" in cold frames; these bloom earlier, but get ex- 

 hausted before the hot, dry weather sets in.

Mammoth Flowering Pansies. 



Currie's Superfine Scotch— This beautiful strain 

 is saved for us by one of the largest and most noted 

 Pansy growers in Scotland from varieties that have 

 received the first premium at the international flow- 

 er show of Great Britain and other prominent exhi- 

 bitions 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 measuring over three inches 

 across), and for richness of color and beautiful 



markings it has no equal in mixed colors 25 



Odier, or Five-Spotted (Imperial German)— A dis- 

 tinctly blotched variety of great beauty 15 



Mammoth Butterfly — A magnificent strain of spot- 

 ted and blotched flowers, reminding one of the gor- 

 geous hues on the butterfly's wings 15 



Bugnot's Superb Blotched — Very beautiful, extra, large flowering variety.. 15 



Cassier— A very rich and showy large flowered sort, beautifully blotched 15 



Currie's International Mixture — This splendid mixture embraces all the 

 varieties offered above, and cannot be surpassed for richness of blooms, or 

 variety of color and markings 25 



Choice Large Flowering Pansies. 



Currie's Fancy — Beautifully striped, blotched and marbled 10 



Extr a Choice English — From a superb collection ; mixed 19 



German — Extra choice mixed : very fine 10 



Victoria — New, flowers large and brilliant red 10 



Peacock— So named because the beautiful ultra-marine blue contained in the upper petals 

 of the flower most nearly resembles the peculiar shade of this color in the feather of the 



peacock. It is a striking variety 10 



Fiery Faces — See Novelties, page 36 25 



Sweet Scented— A class of Pansy obtained by selecting and crossing Viola Cornuta and V. 

 Odorata, retaining all the size and beauty of the former, with the de- 

 lightful fragrance and long-stemmed habit of the latter. They are 

 more perennial than the ordinary sorts of Violas or Pansies ; more 

 tufted in their habit of growth. The flowers are borne on long stems 

 as on the Violet, which renders them very valuable for cuttiug. Al- 

 though not all sweet-scented, the greater proportion will be found to 

 be of a very pleasing Violet odor.
