WORLD RENOWNED==OF HIGHEST PERFECTION. 



A UNIVERSAL favorite with 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 affection. The smallest yard must have its Pansies.- Not poor, forlorn 

 plants, struggling unaided wi h 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. Although the Pansy loves coolness, it gives its largest, finest blooms iu 

 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, shel- 

 tered location and abundant water. Sow seed either in house or open ground. In the open ground sow seed very early in 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 vig- 

 orous plants that will endure the winter if protected by a few evergreen boughs, or other light covering. Do not let the plants seed 

 if you wish to keep them in bloom. Poor pansy seed is dear at any price. Mine is saved with great care, and is the best.
