THE LOVETT COMPANY. 



PANSIES. 



In common with every lover of flowers, we place the Pansy at the head of the list of lesirable plants grown 

 from seed. It is a universal favorite and it has been a fruitful theme for the poets of many generations. TTe 

 prize it so highly that we have made it one of our leading specialties, and are confident that flowers grown from 

 our seed cannot be excelled for their size and coloring, their beauty and substance, and are certain that thev wiU 

 give great dehght. Our several mixtures have been carefuUy selected, and embrace a wonderful variety of color 

 and markings. Much of the success in producing fine flowers depends upon culture and management. 



The best plants are obtained from seed sown in the faU and protected during the winter, but verv fine 

 effects are secm-ed from seed sown in the house in the spring. They require fresh soiL weU enriched.
