Pansies are now produced in almost infinite 

 variety of form, color and markings. Their 

 variety of bloom, brilliancy of coloring and long 

 keeping characteristics render them general fa- 

 vorites. We have been interested in the bringing 

 forward of advanced types of large varieties, 

 both in this country and in Europe, and our 

 stocks are the very best obtainable. We spare 

 no pains or expense to satisfy the most critical 

 trade. We every year visit the gardens of the 

 most expert specialists in Europe, and we are in 

 position to give our customers the benefit of 

 their knowledge. The following list comprises 

 the best kinds on the market. Pansies do best in 

 very rich, moist soil and cool, moist atmosphere. 

 A situation sheltered from high winds and ex- 

 posed to the morning sun is most favorable. 

 Frequent sprinklings are advantageous.
