PAINSIBS 



Are among the finest flowers in cultivation. Their variety of bloom, brill- 

 iancy of coloring and long keeping characteristics render them general 

 favorites. Pansies have been in cultivation for hundreds of years and are 



^ now produced in almost infinite variety of form, color and markings. We 



^—^——^^—^^-^^———^^—^—^^-^—^ have been interested in the bringing forward of advanced types of large 

 varieties both in this country and in Europe, and are able to say without boasting that our stocks are the very best obtain- 

 able. We spare no pains or expense to satisfy the most critical irade. 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 com- 

 prises the best kinds on the market. Pansies do best in very rich, moist soil and cool moist atmosphere. A situation shel- 

 tered from high winds and exposed to the morning sun is most favorable. Frequent sprinklings are advantageous. 



Ferry's Superblssima Blotched. A magnificent 

 new Pansy, having large, broad, thick, brilliantly 

 colored petals forming most perfectly shaped 

 flowers. These are not only of immense size, but 

 the petals have great substance and are very

 flower. It is distinctly superior rather than 



simply different from old strains Pkt. 15cts
