©TTR. LARGE FLOWERING NEW 

 IMPERIAL GERMAN PANSIES are 



the best in existence for general planting. They are the 

 labor of many years' careful selection and cultivation, and 

 the originator takes such pride in keeping his strain up to 

 a high standard, that none of the crack strains recently 

 offered are equal to it for general 'planting. The plants are 

 entirely hardy in all ordinary situations ; of fine size and com- 

 pact growth ; blooming profusely all through the Summer. The 

 magnificent flowers are extra large, perfectly shaped, and em- 

 brace the rarest and most beautiful vivid colors, superbly mottled, 

 veined, marbled and spotted on backgrounds of every shade ; also 

 striped and fancy flowers of unique beauty, and flowers with distinct 

 eyes and contrasting rims of striking novelty. Our Imperial German 

 Pansies will thrive splendidly with little care in almost any situation, 

 while they richly reward the amattur who cultivates carefully and 

 in the most approved manner. Price of the entire collection offered 

 below, 25 varieties in all, 1 packet each for $2. This is a complete 

 collection of Pansies, at a low price that cannot be equaled.
