WORLD RENOWNED==OF HIGHEST PERFECTION. 



A universal favorite vrith young and old. Every child sees the face in the Pansy, and, aside from its great beauty, we all treasure 

 it as the symbol of modest worth and true aifection. The smallest yard must have its Pausies. Not poor, forlorn plants, struggling 

 with heat and drouth and hard baked ground, though even there yielding us handfuls of cheery bloom; but rather, strong, vigorous 

 plants, riotous in the cool, deep, mellow beds they love, made rich with fertilizers, kept free from weeds, and shaded from the hot 

 afternoon sun. In such a bed one may gather great, velvety Pansies by the handfuls — flowers so radiantly beautiful that they 

 scarcely seem of the earth. AUhough the Pansy loves coolness, it gives the largest, finest blooms in early Spring and late Autumn. 

 They are so easy to grow that those living in the South can grow superb ones by giving rich bed, sheltered location and abundant 

 water. Sow seed either in house or open ground. In tlie open ground sow seed very early in the Spring while the ground is yet cool 

 and moist, for late summer and fall bloom; or in August and September for Spring and early Summer bloom. For Fall-sown seed 

 have the bed moist and kept shaded by boards or papers until the plants appear. These will make vigorous plants that will endure 

 the winter if protected by a few cvei'green boughs or other ligh,t covering. Do not let the plants seed if you wish to keep them in 

 bloom. Poor Pansy seed is dear at anj' price. Mine is saved with great care and is the best.
