PANSIES. 



We make a specialty of choice Pansies, and our coUectiou containsthe 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 become exhausted before 

 the hot, dry weather sets in.

 for us by one of the largest and most noted Pansy 

 growers in Scotland from varieties that have received 

 the farst premium at the iiiternational 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 

 measuring over three inches across), and for richness 

 of color and beautiful markings it has no equal in 



mixed colors 25 



Currie's International Hixture — This splendid mixture embraces all the va- 

 rieties offered in the large flowering class, and cannot be surpassed for 



richne.'sof blooms, or variety of color and markings 25

regularly marked with velvety purple black spots, which gives it the face-like appearance 16 



Victoria— New; flowers large and brilliant red 10 



Peacock— So named because the beautiful ultramarine blue contained In the 

 upper petals ofthe flower most nearly resembles the peculiar shade of this 

 color in the feather of the peacock. It is a striking variety 10 



Sweet-Scented — A class of Pansy with delightful fragrance and long-stemmed 

 habit. The flowers are borne on long stems as on the Violet, which renders 

 them very valuable for cutting. Although not all sweet-scented, the 

 greater proportion will be found to be of a very pleasing Violet odor 10
