SUPERIOR FLOWER SEEDS J. MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. 4! 
Sweet William - Dianthus Barbatus (P) 
A universally admired perennial flower, which, when once started, will 
last for years. Free-flowering and attractive, producing a splendid effect in 
beds and borders. It is preferable to sow the seed very early in the spring 
every year and have vigorous young plants coming into bloom the same sea- 
son. They may be sown, however, in August to bloom the following spring. 
Very satisfactory results are also obtained by dividing the roots of old plants,

earlier indoors and transplanted to the beds in April or May. They succeed 
in almost any good garden soil.

Violas or Tufted Pansies (P) 
Well known, free-flowering hardy perennials, easily grown from 
seed. While the flowers are not so large as the regular type 
of Pansy, the blooms are produced in such an abundance and 
the flowering season so much longer that they are superior to 
pansies for some purposes. Seed sown in April produses flower- 
ing plants by June and from then on until frost they are a 
sheet of bloom.
