Our targe Flowering New Impe- 

 rial German Paiisies are the best in exist- 

 ence for general planting. They are the labor of many 

 years' careful selection and cultivation, and the originator 

 takes such pride in keeping his strain up to a high standard, 

 that none of the crack strains recently offered are equal to 

 it for general planting. The plants are entirely hardy in a"' 

 ordinarysituations: of fine sizeand compact growth; bloom- 

 ing profusely all through the Summer. The magnificent flow- 

 ers are extra large, perfectly shaped, and embrace the rarest 

 and most beautiful vivid colors, superbly mottled, veined, 

 marbled and spotted on backgrounds of every shade; also 

 striped and fancy flowers of unique beauty, and flowers with 



tinct eyes and contrasting rims of striking novelty. Our 



perial German Pansies will thrive splendidly with little care in almost any situation, while they richly 



yard the amateur who cultivates carefully and in the most approved manner. Price of the entire col-
