THE DINGEE & CONABD COMPANY'S 



Magnificent Large Flowering New 

 Imperial German Pansies. 



Pansies are now one of our most popular 

 flowers, and as there is a friendly rivalry be- 

 tween Pansy lovers to excel each other in 

 growing them to the greatest perfection, we 

 feel satisfied, in The Large-Flowering 

 New Imperial German Pansies, we are 

 offering the best and finest strain of Pan- 

 sies that have ever been produced. They 

 were originated and brought to their pres- 

 ent high state of perfection by a noted 

 German Pansy grower, who has spent many 

 years in their careful selection and cultiva- 

 tion. The plants are of compact habit, 

 with vigorous and healthy foliage. The 

 flowers are extra large and combine great 

 substance with a range of color that is 

 truly beautiful and remarkable. We offer 

 all the best mixtures of these wonderful 

 Pansies, also sixteen separate colors, which 

 will enable our friends to grow them in 

 any combination desired. Full cultural 

 directions on each packet. 



The seed we offer is a speciai saving

Superb New Dahlias from Seed. 



It is not generally known that beautiful Dahlias can be raised from seed, quite as easily as from bulbs or plants, and 

 at less than one-tenth the cost. The seed can be sown in open ground, but it is best to start it in the house or hot- 

 bed : if then transplanted to good rich soil in a sunny position they commence to bloom in July, continuing until early 

 in November. The New Single Dahlias are recommended as being graceful, elegant and very popular. The seed we 

 offer was saved from a special strain and comprises a remarkable range of color. It must not be confounded with 

 the cheap imported seed generally sent out. 



Dahlia, Single. — Finest mixture. Per pkt. 20 cts. 



Dahlia, Double. — Finest mixture. Per pkt. 20 cts.; 3 pkts. either or both for 50 cts. ; 7 pkts. for $1.
