SUPERB NOBf^ANOlE PANSIES (Seeds). 



The PANSY is a universal favor- 

 ite, and we have great pleasure in 

 offering Seeds of these magnificent 

 NEW VARIETIES, many of which 

 surpass in size and beauty any be- 

 fore seen. The illustration gives an 

 idea of the average size of each 

 flower when well grown, but we can- 

 not picture their splendid colors, 

 which embraces every shade of ma- 

 roon, purple, yellow, red, bronze 

 and white, all wonderfully blotched, 

 margined and clouded with other 

 distinct colors, presenting a brilhant 

 display impossible to describe. 

 Seed may be sown in pots or boxes, 

 or in hot beds, or later in open 

 ground ; transplant when one inch 

 high. The Pansy should have a 

 cool, partially shaded situation, and 

 the ground cannot be too rich.
