CURRIE'S SUPERFINE SCOTCH. 



We make a specialty of choice Pansies. 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 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 



'wintered over 1
