Vautier's nammoth Pansies. 



This strain of enormous Pansies has been raised 

 and perfected for over 20 years by Chas. H. Vautier, 

 one of our most experienced market gardeners. It 

 would be almost impossible to express in words what 

 ought to be said in favor of this strain. In size and 

 perfect form they rival anything heretofore introduced. 

 The flowers measure zyi to 4 inches across, of most 

 perfect form, circular shape ; the plants being bushy 

 and compact, and flowering profusely. The colors are 

 rich and varied, embracing all the fancy spotted and 

 striped, and self colors. Our leading Philadelphia 

 florists obtain their plants from this strain, paying the 

 highest price. Our seed is all saved from the choicest 

 plants, and we recommend the strain to all lovers of 

 magnificent large Pansies. Choice mixed, per pkt., 

 25cts. ; 5 pkts., $1.00 ; 1,4^02., Si. 50
