CURRIE BROTHERS' HORTICULTURAL GUIDE. 



PAN&IB&. 



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 experi- 

 ence teaches us to know that those spring sown — that is, duriDg January, February and March- 

 bloom better during the hot, dry weather in summer than those that "have been sown in Sep- 

 tember and " wintered over " in cold frames ; these bloom earlier, but get exhausted 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 Pan- 

 sy growers in Scotland from varieties that have received 

 the first premium at the international 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 



Odier, or Five-Spotted (Imperial German) — A distinctly blotched variety 



of great beauty '. 15 



mammoth Butterfly— A magnificent strain of spotted and blotched flowers, 



reminding one of the gorgeous hues on the butterfly's wings 15 



Bugnot's Superh 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 



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



Extra Choice English — From a superb collection; mixed 10 



German — Extra choice mixed ; very fine 10 



Coquette de Foissy — Reddish lavender, with three maroon blotches on lower petals, nove 



and distinct 10 



Fiery Faces — Purple scarlet, with a yellow margin and yellow eye. The three lower petals 

 are 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 

 of the flower most nearly resembles the peculiar shade of thiscolor 



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



Sweet-Scented — A class of Pansy with delightful lragrance and 

 long-stemmed habit. The flowers are borne on long stems as on 

 the Violet, which renders ihem very valuable for cutting. Al- 

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

 to be of a very pleasing Violet odor
