PRESIDENT CARNOT. 



A valuable Pansy, foi which we aie indebted to a 

 celebiated fi lench glower. The floweis are large, of ele- 

 gant shape 'V deep, \el\ety, \iolet blotch crosses the 

 greater surface of each of the h\e petals, the outer edge 

 of which lb margined with cleai white The two colors 

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



TRIMARDEAU. Golden Qiant. 



Imagine large, golden yellow Pansies measuring 8 

 inches across. This alone Is sutticlent to stamp the 

 Golden Giant as one of the handsomest Introductions 

 in Pansies, being remarkable not only for enormous size 

 of flowers, but its robust growth, eclipsing any other 

 strain of this well known and popular tlower 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 davs seem to have no effect, w hile other sorts invariably 

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

 TRIMARDEAU. Lord Beaconsfield. 

 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. 

 Gieatlv 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 charminglj' 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 ultramai me 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 flery reddish brown. Comes almost absolutely true, but 

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

 VICTORIA RED. 

 A decidedly rich color, unusually found in the pansy, being a beautiful, deep red throughout. For size of flowers and uniformity of color, is 

 unequalled, and is bound to become a favorite. A bed of these pansies produce a striking effect. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 



BUGNOT'S SUPERB BLOTCHED. ._ ^ . v, - i. 



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 magnihcent effect. 

 The large and brilliant flowers are produced in great numbers and borne well above the foliage on strong steins. 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, flrmness 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. Pkt., 20 cts.; 3 phts., 50 cts.
