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 price, 

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

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



/\/eTi» GUnt Pa.nsy. Madame Perret, ^ 



■^ (The best and ouly Pink Pansy.) 



This novelty is specially distinguished from other 

 Pansies by the plant being full and spreading, with very 

 broad and extremely dark -gTeen leaves. The straight 

 and stiff stems it possesses cause the fiowers to stand 

 out well from the foliage. The color of the blossom 

 ranges through all the shades of red, from a pink to a 

 tine deep purple, with an intermediate bright red edged 

 with white. The face of the flowers in some cases is reg- 

 u lar in color, while in others it is lined and striped. The 

 extraordinary size of the flowers, which reach as much 

 as 3 to SVo inches in diameter, make it a novelty of the 

 first rank. Pkt., 100 seeds, I2c.; 3 for 30c. 



/xTeTu Giant Pansy, President McKinley. 



Flowers are of extremely large size and circular 

 form, measuring from 2H.to3 inches across. Theground- 

 eolor is a deep, rich golden yellow, but each petal is so 

 heavily blotched that theyellow appears only as a wide, 

 well-marked border. The large blotches are so rich 

 and velvety as to appear almost black, but closer ex- 

 amination shows it to be a deep red brown, shaded 

 with violet markings around'the small, golden-yellow 

 eye. Pkt., 100 se^ds, 10c.
