BUCKBEE'S "Full of Life" PdNSY SEEDS 



OF HIGHEST 

 PERFECTION 



A universal favorite with young and old, 

 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 with heat and drouth and )iard 

 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 Pan- 

 sies by the handfuls — flowers so radiantly 

 beautiful that they scarcely seem of the 

 earth. 



Poor Pansy seed is dear at any price. 

 Mine is saved with great care and is the 

 best 



Giant Madame Perret.

A superb new strain, large fJowers and 

 beautiful colors, blossoms ranging through 

 all the shades of red, from a pink to a fine, 

 deep purple, with an intermediate bright 

 red, edged with white. The face of the 

 flower in some c-ases is regular in color, 

 while in others it is lined and striped. 

 The extraordinary size of the flowers, 

 which reach as much as 3 to 3i inches 

 in diameter, makes it a novelty of the 

 first rank. Pkt. 7c

 orange, wine-red to rose. Plct. 8c.

 ing novel, unio.ue and beautiful 

 color combinations. The ground 

 color of nearly all the flowers is in 

 light shades, the petals are mark- 

 ed with large brown or golden yel- 

 low blotches, which gives the 

 flowers their resemblance to or- 

 chids. The colors range in the 

 terra cotta shadiifes as well as in 

 the flesh, orange, rose pink, and 

 lilac. Pkt, 8c.

 rich glossy black has a peculiarly soft, 

 vehety appearance, the magnificent 

 larire flowers are of fine circular form,

 Black Prince makes a sight not often 

 equaled. Pkt. 6c.

 flowering Pansies the colorings are won- 

 derfully rich and varied; everv shade and 

 tint of rose, canary-yellow, black, white, 

 cream lavender, garnet, sky-blue and 

 orange are produced in endless variations 

 and striking combinations, while others 

 have silvery grounds hea-\ily blotched 

 at the base of each petal with a dark rich 

 shade. The enormous flowers are of 

 thick velvety texture, perfect form, and 

 borne on long stems well above the foli- 

 age. The compact rounded plants are 

 of sturdy habit and deep rooted, so 

 that they bear the gigantic flowers pro- 

 fusely and continuously. I offer this 

 special blend to Pansy lovers with the 

 full assurance that the flowers produced 

 from this mixture will be larger and 

 finer than those of any other strain. As 

 my supply of seed is limited this season, I 

 ad> ise early orders. Pkt. 8c.
