D. M. FERRY & CO'S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE 



Pansies 



Pansies are now produced -^ 



in an almost infinite variety ^ ■ ^ 



of colors and markings. 

 Their brilliancy of shading, 

 extended season of blooming and long 

 keeping characteristics make them 

 general favorites. We have been in- 

 terested in the bringing forward of 

 advanced types of very large varieties 

 in this country as well as in Europe, 

 and our stocks are the very best ob- 

 tainable. "We spare neither pains 

 nor expense to satisfy the most crit- 

 ical trade. Every year we visit the 

 gardens of the most expert specialists 

 in Europe and therefore are in posi- 

 tion to give our customers the benefit 

 of their knowledge. 



Pansies do best in very rich, moist 

 soil and cool, moist atmosphere. A 

 situation sheltered from high winds 

 and exposed to the morning sun is 

 most favorable and frequent sprink- 

 lings are advantageous. Hardy per- 

 ennial, about four inches high.
