PA|NSY SEED 

 From My Own 

 Great Creations 



I know that every one of the great host of Pansy lovers is 

 deeply interested in the development and improvement of this 

 gorgeous flower. My exhaustive experiments, covering a period 

 of more than eight years, have been made for the purpose of 

 adding to the brilliancy of the shades and colors, the size, the 

 prolific bearing, the vigor and the ease of growing. I have suc- 

 ceeded far beyond my greatest hopes and have produced a 

 strain of Pansies that is far superior to any other ever 

 put on the market. I do not supply any other seedsman 

 with this Pansy Seed, reserving every bit of the crop for my 

 Pansy-loving customers. Please do not forget that this strain of Pansy Seed can be secured only from 



BUCKBEE 'S MIXED PANSY SEED 



I pay particular attention to the blending of the Pansy Seed that makes up Buckbee's Famous "Full of Life" Mixtures. Nothing is too good 

 to be placed in these mixed packets. Each year finds them gaining in popularity. No "cull" seeds ever go into these mixtures, and I can con- 

 scientiously recommend them to my friends, knowing full well that every purchaser will be more than satisfied.
