R. fir*/. FARQUHAR dr> CO.'S SEED CATALOGUE. 



Viola Tricolor!) 



For many years choice Pansy Seeds have 

 been a specialty with us. By repeated per- 

 sonal visits we have made ourselves familiar 

 with the strains of the leading specialists in 

 the several countries of Europe, with whom 

 we contract yearly for seeds. We are thus 

 enabled to offer the finest in existence. 



Pansies thrive best in a cool, moist but well drained soil, 

 enriched with well-rotted barn-yard manure or fine ground bone. 

 Seeds sown in Spring in a partially shaded situation will produce 

 fine plants for autumn flowering. The finest blooms are to be 

 obtained however by sowing in July or August, giving the 

 plants protection during winter, when they will bloom profusely 

 in the spring and summer.

Daniel Roberts, Georgetown, Colo., writes Feb. 1, 1899 : 



" The finest pansy bed that zuas ever seen in Colorado was in my garden last summer. Many people from 

 other states admired them and said they were the fifiest they ever saw. T have given away all of your old catalogues 

 and you are going to have some new customers this spring."
