Dreer's Pansies 



Dreer's Royal Exhibition 



We doubt if there is any other mixture of Pansies 

 to be had anywhere that can compare with Dreer's 

 Royal Exhibition. The utmost care has been used to 

 make it the finest mixture obtainable at any price 

 and consequently we recommend it most highly. It 

 contains the most beautiful of all Pansies. • Every 

 bloom is well rounded and of perfect form. The texture 

 of the petals is heavy and strong, giving good lasting 

 qualities to the blooms. The color range simply defies 

 description for it is not only most extensive but repre- 

 sents a good color balance of all desirable shades.
