MISS MARY E. MARTIN, FLORAL PARK, NEW YORK. 



MY PANSY DEPARTMENT. 



I not only aim to make my list include all standard as well as the best new sorts, but I strive, regardless of 

 trice, to import only the best quality of each particular kind, and always give my customers "new crop " seed, 

 ly Pansies are second to none offered by any other in this country. 



INTERNATIONAL 



THE WORLD'S 

 . . . BEST . . . 



PANSIES. 



A sample flower of one of the 100 different kinds 

 found in my International Pansy Mixture. 



New Orchid-Floivered Pansies. 



Do you know Pansies will live 



My International Pansy Mixture is, and 



always has been, literally a " World's Best " 

 Mixture. While searching the world over 

 among the growers for the best in every 

 land, we are not satisfied to accept any mix- 

 ture because varied in color, but the flowers 

 must come near a high standard of form 

 which we have set, must be composed of 

 well-rounded, perfect-shaped flowers, must 

 show a wide range of colorings and mark- 

 ings, must have thick, velvety petals with 

 fluted or semi-double edges, and must stand 

 erect on good stiff stems with healthy, strong 

 growth of plant. While every solid color 

 must be represented, there is also all pos- 

 sible variations of each one of these. The 

 whites have all possible variations of stripes, 

 veinings and shadings. The same is true of the 

 yellows, purples, browns, reds and other distinct 

 shades, besides many shades of pink, mahogany, 

 fire-colored, bronze-gold, etc. 



At the Pan-American Exposition they were awarded 



first prize. They are a Gold Medal Brand. 



Packet, 100 seeds, lOc; 3 for 25c. 



New Orchid=Flowered Pansies. 



A mixture of the most surprising, novel, unique, 

 and beautiful color combinations — entirely new 

 among Pansies. The ground color of nearly all the 

 flowers is in light shades, the petals are marked with 

 large brown or golden yellow blotches which diffuse 

 into rays and veins toward the edge. The upper 

 petals are upright and sort of plaited, which gives 

 the flowers their resemblance to orchids. 

 Packet, 100 seeds, lOc; 3 for 25c. 



New Giant Pansy, Madame Perret, 



The Best and Only Pink Pansy. 



The extraordinary size of the flowers make it a 

 novelty of the first rank. 



Packet, 100 seeds, lOc; 3 for 25c. 



Masterpiece Pansy. This strain comes nearer 

 to "Double Pansies" than anything ever introduced. 

 Petals are crimpled and curled in such a fashion that 

 the flowers appear double. The flowers are of enor- 

 mous size, often 3 inches across, and the color varia- 

 tions and combinations are odd and striking. 

 Packets, lOc; 3 for 25c. 



Normandie. These I love best. So many rich 

 colors, such lovely shape. Rich as velvet and bright 

 as poppies. They come from sunny France. Fifty 

 kinds and colors. Packet, 200 seeds, 8c.; 3 for 20c. 



Mammoth Butterfly. The flowers are very 

 large. In coloring they are varied, seldom two alike 

 in 100 plants. Mottled and spotted, streaked, tigered 

 and splashed, rich wine-reds, chocolate, velvety red, 

 lavender, violet and purple shades. 



Packet, 100 seeds, Sc; Yz oz., 2Sc. 



Giant Paris. (Parisian Fancy.) The premier 

 French Pansy, considered by many as superior to all 

 others. Very large, elegantly and beautifully mar- 

 ked. Packet, 200 seeds, 6c.; 2 for 10c. ; Vs oz., 25c. 



out all Winter and bloom the next year?
