The Pansy is the most deservedly popu- 

 lar flower of the times. It grows easily 

 and blooms a long time. The beautiful 

 flowers have a fascination that few can re- 

 sist. We have selected our Pansy seed

 our superb New Varieties, page 72; they 

 cannot be excelled. Below we offer the 

 good old kinds you all know ; they cannot 

 fail to give satisfaction. The seed should 

 be started early in pots or boxes. Our 

 extra-sized packets have full cultural di- 

 rections printed on each.
