"hot-Mr Pansies. 



The perfume of the Violet 



combined with 

 the beauty of the Pansy. 



HIS new class is the result of crossing 

 the Pansy (Viola tricolor) with the 

 Sweet Yiolet ( Viola cornuia) ; the re- 

 sulting hybrids, in addition to retaining 

 the delightful violet perfume, produce the 

 most beautiful pansy-like blossoms, 2 to 1\ 

 inches across, of great substance and of an 

 endless variety of colors. The solid or selfs 

 are of remarkable puritv, and include 

 white, lemon, orange, claret, crimson, 

 maroon, lavender, purple, silver gray, rose, 

 black, blue, etc., etc. The fancy varieties 

 are exquisitely tinted, striped, blotched, 

 feathered, picotee-edged, etc. Their com- 

 binations and Mendings of color are more 

 chaste and harmonious than ordinary pansies and more varied than the rainbow. 



The plants are of easy culture, of hardy, vigorous growth, forming deep-rooting, compact tufted clumps. 

 Planted in masses or lines, they form perfect mats covered with myriads of flowers. They are more perennial 

 in character than pansies, throwing out new roots annually, adapting them, where situation and soil are 

 congenial, to permanent beds, edgings, etc., where they begin to make our garden gay in spring almost when 

 surrounded by snow, and continue to bloom with marvelous freedom until autumn. The flowers are borne on 

 long stems which shoot up like the violet directly from the roots, rendering the flowers of special value for 

 cutting purposes. They are not all equally fragrant, though the majority are as highly scented as the sweetest 

 violet, and the other high merits of this new strain, aside from their perfume, destine them to wide 

 popularity. (See cut.) 

 This season we only offer "Sweet-scented Pansies" in Mixed Colors. Price, per pkt., 25c.

New "Double Shirley" Poppies. 



The comparatively new strain of Shirley Poppies, 

 though only introduced a few years ago, has become 

 one of the most popular annuals for the summer 

 flower garden that we have ever offered. The absence 

 of black blood gives them their wonderfullv light, 

 bright tissue-paper-like appearance. The colors range 

 from purest white through pinks of all shades to 

 glowing scarlet, but a scarlet without black. Some are 

 red with white edges, and others veined and streaked 

 and flaked from the centre toward the edges in the 

 most charming confusion. The New Double Shirley 

 Poppies retain all of the beauty of colorings, grace of 

 form, large size, profusion of bloom and ease of 

 culture, blooming within a few weeks' time, and create 

 a beautiful bed when grown in quantity. The myriads 

 of lovely nodding flowers— almost no two alike— is an 

 inspiring sight. (See cut.)
