MISS C. H. LIPPINCOTT, HUDSON, WISCONSIN. 



Sweet-Scented Pansies. 



The Perfume of the Violet. 



The Beauty of the Pansy. 



This class is the result of crossing 

 the Pansy (vio'a tri-eolor) with the 

 Sweet Violet (viola cornula). The re- 

 sulting hybrids, in addition to retain- 

 ing the delightful Violet perfume, pro- 

 duce the most beautiful Pansy-like 

 blossoms, 2 to 2\ inches across, of 

 great substance and of an endless 

 variety of colors. They are not equal- 

 ly fragrant, though the majority are 

 as highly scented as the sweetest 

 Violet. Mixed colors. 



Pkt., 150 seeds, 5 ets. 



Emperor Frederick Pansy. 



The first color is deep, velvety 

 brown, shaded into a narrow band of 

 deep, golden yellow, which borders 

 each petal. The perfect flowers show 

 a distinct face, marking a rich gold 

 and dark brown. 



Pkt., 139 seeds, 5 ets. 



Pansy, Emperor William. 



Ultramarine blue with 



violet eye. 



"Masterpiece" or Ruffled Pansy. 



This strain comes nearer to "Double Pansy" than 

 anything else introduced under the name. The 

 number of petals is the same as that in the other 

 Pansy flowers, but they are crimped and curled in 

 such a fashion that the flowers appear double. The 

 flowers are of enormous size, often 3 inches across, 

 and the color variations and combinations are odd 

 and striking. 



Pkt., 150 seeds, 10 ets. 



Pkt., 150 seeds, 5 ets. 



New Imperial German Pansy. 



This mixture embraces seed of 

 over fifty colors and markings, and 

 is guaranteed to equal any strain 

 offered as Imperial German. 

 Pkt., 150 seeds, 5 ets. 



Pansy, Good Mixed. 



Fine for bedding; many rich 

 colors. Pkt., 300 seeds, 5 ets. 



NOTICE. — One packet of each 

 of the seventeen varieties of 

 Pansies for 75 cents. 



Primula Sinensis; Chinese Primrose. 



Many persons seem to think that Primulas are successfully propagated only in the 

 greenhouse hence we find amateurs often reluctant to attempt their culture. They are 

 uneaualed as winter bloomers, easily grown if the right conditions are observed, and give 

 a succession of flowers throughout the season, and are prized for both their beauty and 

 delicate fragrance. Single fringed, finest mixed. Pkt., 50 seeds, 10 ets. 



Primula, Double. 



Best mixed, all colors. Pkt., 30 seeds, 13 ets. 



Primula Obconica. 



Primula Obconica is as near an everblooming plant as it is possible to obtain. It has 

 been known to flower for over twelve months without a break. Pkt., 100 seeds, 5 ets. 



Polyanthus, Primula Elatior. 



Showy early spring, free flowering plants, fine for either pot or outdoor culture, 

 hardy perennials; 9 inches. The best single; all colors mixed. Pkt.. 230 seeds, 10 ets. 

 Star Primula. ( Primula Stellata Hybrkla.) 



Many of the blooms are eoual in form and purity of color to those of the Chinese 

 Primula and as they last longer and the plants can be much more easily grown, they 

 d-serve 'to b- widely cultivated. Of the seed now offered the mixture contains seven 

 charming and distinct colors. Pkt., 100 seeds, 10 ets. 



The Mexican Primrose. 



The superb colors, combined with airy grace and a beautiful form, make a flower 

 which is almost perfection. The plant seldom grows over ten inches in height, but 

 inclines to a trailing habit, sweeping its branches out over the ground, or drooping out 

 over the sides of the pot, holding its large, silky flowers erect As a window plant it 

 combines great hardiness and ease of culture with unrivaled beauty and piofus.on of 

 bloom. In the open ground it grows freely and profusely; Will thrive well under an> and 

 all conditions and bloom the year around in pots, or during the spring, summer and fall, 

 in the garden. Pkt., 100 seeds, 6 ets.
