In this variety we offer the nearest approach to a Scarlet Pansy. 

 The color of the flower is not the real scarlet as it is found in 

 Geraniums; it would properly be called a brownish scarlet. It 

 represents the brightest color in Pansies grown up to the present 

 time. The flowers are of good size and substance and of perfect form. 

 The three lower petals are marbled with a large dark blotch. Its 

 bright color makes it very valuable for bedding. Price, per packet, 

 35 cts.
