Pansy (Heartease) 



The Pansy is the most popular of all flowers 

 grown from seed. It is everywhere popular, both 

 for the brilliant beauty of its flowers and the long 

 continuation of bloom. By plucking off the 

 flowers as soon as they begin to fade, the suc- 

 ceeding flowers will be much more numerous and 

 of larger size than if they are allowed to go to 

 seed. Pansies delight in a cool, moist situation, 

 partially protected from the hot noon-day sun; in 

 exposed positions in the hot summer weather, the 

 flowers will be smaller. Seed sown in the latter 

 part of August or forepart of September will 

 make strong young plants for early spring 

 blooming. Protect in winter with leaves or ever- 

 green branches. Hardy perennials. 



MADAME FERRET. This new giant variety is 

 something jiew in Pansies. The color ranges 

 through all the shades of red, from a pink to 

 fine purple, edged with white, while in others 

 it is lined and' striped. The plant is strong, 

 the flowers are borne well above the foliage and 

 the blossoms arc of extraordinary size, which 

 reach as much as 3 to 3 V2 inches in diameter. 

 It is a novelty of the finest rank, and one that 

 is sure to be sought after by lovers of pansies. 

 A bed of this variety will attract a great deal 

 of attention. Per pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts. 



GIANT TRIMARDEAU. A distinct and beautiful 

 Pansy, the flowers are of very large size; some

 ful shades of color that are found in other
