the best in existence for general planting. We make this 

 statement with increased assurance, as our sales of Impe- 

 rial German Pansies the past season were upwards of 

 io,oco separate packages. The plants are entirely hardy 

 in all ordinary situations ; of fine size and compact growth ; 

 blooming profusely all through the Summer. The magnificent 

 flowers are extra large, perfectly shaped, and embrace 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 situa- 

 tion, while they richly reward the amateur who cultivates carefully 

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

 offered below, 35 varieties in all, i packet each for $2.50. This 

 is a complete collection of Pansies, at a low price, that cannot be 

 equaled.
