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 experience teaches us to know 

 that those spring sown — that is, dur- 

 ing January, February and March — 

 bloom better during the hot, dry 

 weather in summer than those that 

 have been sown in September and 

 "wintered over" in cold frames; 

 these bloom earlier, but get exhausted 

 before the hot, dry weather sets in. 



Mammoth Flowering 

 Pansies. 



Carrie's Superfine Scotch 

 Pansy — This beautiful ;strain is 

 saved for us by one of the largest 

 and most noted Pansy growers i* 

 Scotland from varieties that have 

 received the first premium at the 3 

 'international flower shows 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 8 inches'! 

 across), and for richness of coiorand beautiful markings it has no equal. 25

 inches high. H P.
