Pansy (Heartease) 



The Pansy is the most popular of all flowers 

 grown from seed. It is everywhere popular, both 

 for the brilliant beauty of its flowers and the long 

 continuation of bloom. By plucking off the 

 flowers as soon as they begin to fade, the suc- 

 ceeding flowers will be much more numerous and 

 of larger size than if they are allowed to go to 

 seed. Pansies delight in a cool, moist situation, 

 partially protected from the hot noon-day sun ; in 

 exposed positions in the hot summer weather, the 

 flowers will be smaller. Seed sown in the latter 

 part of August or forepart of September will 

 make strong young plants for early spring 

 blooming. Protect in winter with leaves or ever- 

 green branches. Hardy perennials. 

 MADAME PERRET. This new giant variety is 

 something new in Pansies. The color ranges 

 through all the shades of red, from a pink to 

 fine purple, edged with white, while in others 

 it is lined and striped. The plant is strong, 

 the flowers are borne well above the foliage and 

 the blossoms are of extraordinary size, which 

 reach as much as 3 to 3 % inches in diameter. 

 It is a novelty of the finest rank, and one that 

 is sure to be sought after by lovers of pansies. 

 A bed of this variety will attract a great deal 

 of attention. Per pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts.

PANSY 



"Masterpiece" 



New Giant Curled Pansy 



This strain represents the highest perfection in 

 the Giant Pansies, and for this reason is named 

 "Masterpiece." The chief difference from other 

 strains consists in the form from other flowers, 

 which is well shown in the illustration, the bor- 

 der of each petal being conspicuously curled or 

 waved, giving the flower a globular or double ap- 

 pearance. The plant is strong and bushy, the 

 flowers are borne well above the foliage, are of 

 enormous size, often 3 inches across and contain 

 the richest combination of colors that ever have 

 been offered in any strain of Pansies. Each 

 Petal is distinctly marked with a very large 

 dark blotch, and most of the flowers are mar- 

 gined with a light, white or yellow edge. 



One pkt. each of the above two varieties of Pansies, 25 cts.
