STANDARD FLOWER SEEDS.

PALSIES 



The Pansy is deservedly the most popular flower 

 of the times. The plants bloom in great profusion from 

 early Summer until after frost, and the truly royal colors 

 are a constant surprise and delight. We devote special 

 attention to the selection of Pansy seed, and the stock 

 of every variety we offer is the best that can be had, 

 regardless of expense. Our celebrated strain of Imperial German Pansy stills holds its own, a splendid collection of which 

 will be found on page 86. Below we offer the good old standard kinds you all know ; they cannot fail to give satisfaction. 

 Pansies may be sown in the open ground or hot-bed as desired ; the seed may be sown from early Spring until July for 

 Summer and Fall blooming plants, also in August and September for blooming early the next Spring. Our extra-sized 

 packets have full cultural directions printed on each.
