PAN5Y 



(Viola Tricolor Maxima). 



Nothing can ever displace the Pansy 

 from the favor which it everywhere and 

 with everyone receives. It endures the 

 hardest winters and greets us in the 

 early spring almost before the sno^^' is 

 gone, and is the last to succumb to the 

 frosts of autumn. The seed may be 

 sown in the hotbed or open ground. 

 Many sow the seed in the fall, but if 

 sown in the spring, get it into the 

 ground very early as the spring rains 

 will produce the largest and most satis- 

 factory blossoms. The flowers will be 

 smaller during the heat and drouth of 

 summer, but upon the approach of 

 cooler weather and fall rains, you will 

 again find them increasing in size and 

 beauty. Young plants give the largest 

 flowers, hence old, worn-out plants 

 should be replaced. 



The seed I offer is selected from choice 

 and improved varieties and can be re- 

 lied upon.
