Pansies are now produced in almost infinite variety of form, color and markings. Their variety of bloom, brilliancy 

 of coloring and long keeping characteristics render them general favorites. We have been interested in the bringing 

 forward of advanced types of large varieties, both in this country and in Europe, and our stocks are the very best ob- 

 tainable. We spare no pains or expense to satisfy the most critical trade. 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 comprises the best kinds on the market. Pansies do best in very rich, moist soil and cool, moist atmosphere. A 

 situation sheltered from high winds and exposed to the morning sun is most favorable. Frequent sprinkUngs are 



advantageous.
