DREER'S 

 ROYAI. EXHIBITION PAIVSY. 



This strain comprises a beautiful collection of colors and 

 markings; and we are confident it will prove satisfactory for 

 perfection of form, firmness of texture, freedom of bloom and 

 elegance of coloring. Florists and amateurs desiring charming 

 "show" flowers should not neglect the strain herein offered, as 

 it is the result of many years' careful selection and hybridiza- 

 tion, and embraces all the attractive features that tend to make 

 the Pansy the people's flower. To prevent failure we oflfer the 

 following method for sowing the seed : Select a goAd piece of 

 ground, dig and rake thoroughly and evenly, scatter the seed 

 on the surface and cover thinly by sieving over it some rich soil, 

 pat gently with a piece of board or the back of a spade, give a 

 tkorough watering, and shade during the middle of the day.

Pfll^SIES. 



This attractive plant is too well known to require any descrip- 

 tion, as it is a favorite with all ; the seed can be sown from Sep- 

 tember to March. The best plants are obtained from seed sown 

 in the autumn, and protected during winter ; these flower early 

 in the spring. The plants from s|iring sowing should be planted 

 in a shady border; they produce fine large flowers in the 

 autumn. Pansies require fresh soil, enriched with decomposed 

 manure.
