Our L.arge Flowering New Imperial Ger- 

 man Pansies are the best in existence 

 for general planting. They are the labor of many- 

 years' careful selection and cultivation, and the originator 

 jj 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 all 

 ordinary situations; of fine size and compactgrowth; bloom- 

 ing profusely all through the Summer. The magnificent 

 flowers 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 flow- 

 ers with distinct eyes and contrasting rims of striking nov- 

 elty. Our Imperial German Pansies will thrive splendidly with little care in almost any situation, while 

 they richly reward the amateur who cultivates carefully and in the most approved manner. Price of 

 the entire collection offered below, 25 varieties in all, 1 packet each, for $1.75. This is a complete col- 

 lection of Pansies, at a low price, that cannot be equaled.
