POPPY—Continued

PANSY 
a 
This well-known favorite is, without doubt, one of the 
most satisfactory flowers to grow, especially now that 
sultivation has brought forth such a bewildering variety 
of forms, sizes and colors. If large flowers are wanted 
fin early spring, the seeds should be sown in autumn in a 
frame. For spring sowing, get the seed in as early as 
possible, and keep the ground well watered and thor- 
oughly stirred up to kill weeds. The Pansy delights in a 
rich, moist soil, and the largest flowers are borne upon 
youns lants. While they require plenty of sunshine in 
he spring, the hot summer sun jis apt to dry them up and 
cause the flower to become small. Our seed is all from 
carefully selected large flowers, and with proper care in 
growing will yield handsome returns. 
Bugnot’s Giant Blotched.—Flowers of enormous size, 
nearly circular in form, and in a great variety of the 
handsomest and rarest colors, including some shades 
found in no other variety. Each petal has a distinct, 
deeply colored blotch. Pkt. 10c.; %4 oz. $1.00. 
Giant President Carnot.—Similar to preceding, in large 
size and splendid form, but the margin of petals is a

The underlying tint is a lovely ultramarine-blue, which

descent blending of rich shadings. Pkt. 5c.; %4 oz. 75c.
