EXQUISITE COLORS AND MARKINGS. 



HOW TO SOW PANSY SEEDS. 



The best method for sowing Pansy seeds is to 

 select a good piece of rich ground, dig and rake tho- 

 roughly, scatter the seed evenly on the surface and cover 

 thinly by sieving over it some rich, light soil, pat gently 

 with a board or spade, water thoroughly, and shade dur- 

 ing the middle of the day. 



NEW STRIPED PARISIAN. 



One of the grand Pansy novelties of the j'ear. Flow- 

 ers are very large and sho wy, the colors ranging through 

 mostly light shades, each flower striped and mottled in 

 the most unique manner. Pkt., 15 cts.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 

 ^ PRESIDENT CARNOT. 



^ A valuable Pansy, for which we are indebted to a 

 J3 celebrated French grower. The flowers are large, of ele- 

 „ gant shape. A deep, velvety, violet blotch crosses the 

 greater surface of each of the five petals, the outer edge 

 of which is margined with clear white. The two colors 

 stand out in sharp contrast. Pkt., 15 cts.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 



TRIMARDEAU. Golden Giant. 



Imagine large, golden yellow Pansies measuring 8 

 Inches across. This alone is sufficient to stamp the 

 Golden Giant as one of the handsomest introductions 

 m Pansies, being remarkable not only for enormous size 

 of flowers, but its robust growth, eclipsing any other 

 strain of this well known and popular flower in this re- 

 spect. The large and perfect, pure golden yellow flowers 

 stand well above the foliage, and are uniquely blotched 

 with a large and dense black eye. One great advantage 

 the Trimardeau Pansies have over all other sorts is their 

 most vigorous habit, securing a start in the Spring on 

 which hot summer days seem to have no effect, while other sorts invariably 

 succumb and dwindle away. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 

 TRIMARDEAU. Lord Beaconsfleld. 

 Size of flowers and manner of growth same as the Golden Giant. Color a 

 rich, deep purple violet, shading off in the top petals to an almost white hue. 

 Greatly admired by all who saw them growing in our trial grounds at Briar 

 Crest the past summer. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 

 EMPEROR FREDERICK. 

 An exceedingly fine new variety from Germany, producing extra large flowers of per- 

 fect form. The ground color is of a deep, rich purple, with an outward margin of yellow 

 and scarlet. A very unique and charming contrast. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 



COQUETTE DE POISSY. 

 An entirely distinct and striking color different from anything before known in Pan- 

 sies. A charmingly dainty blending of pale blue and rose tints. Pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 cts. 

 PEACOCK. 

 A Striking variety; the form and substance of the flower is very perfect, the upper petals being of a beau- 

 tiful ultramarine blue, resembling in shade the peacock feather, while the lateral and lower petals are of a 

 deep claret, with white margins. Extremely odd and showy. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 



FIRE KING. 

 One of the handsomest pansies of late introduction. The three lower petals are a rich, golden yellow, with 

 a large blotch of deep, brown red; the upper petals a fiery reddish brown. Comes almost absolutely true, but 

 few plants bearing flowers varying from the type. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 



For size of flowers and uniformity of color, is 

 Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 



VICTORIA RED. 



A decidedly rich color, unusually found in the pahsy, being a beautiful, deep red throughout, 

 unequalled, and is bound to beconae a favorite. A bed of these pansies produce a striking effect. 



BUGNOT'S SUPERB BLOTCHED. 



A beautiful strain of various colored, very large, fine, perfect formed flowers, each petal distinctly and handsomely blotched with rich and 

 varied darker shades. The color of the blotches radiates through the ground color of the margin of the petals, producing a most magnificent effect. 

 The large and brilliant flowers are produced in great numbers and borne well above the foliage on strong stems. The Bugnot strain of Pansies is 

 highly endorsed by specialists in this line, and is also extensively grown for exhibition purposes. Packet, 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents. 



MAULE'S PRIZE MIXED PANSIES. 



The Finest Mixture of Pansies. At a great expense I have gathered together all the new introductions of both continents, and offer them 

 in one grand mixture. Many of the flowers are of mammoth proportions, measuring from 2 to 3 inches across, variously striped, blotched, veined 

 and marbled, superior to anything previously offered. If you wish a charming display of show pansies, you should plant at least a packet of 

 Maule's Prize Mixed. I feel confident that their perfection of form, firmness of texture, freedom of bloom, elegance and diversity of coloring, 

 united with large size and perfect form of flowers are features that tend to make this Pansy the people's flower. Pht., 30 cts.; 3 pkts., 50 cts.
