 PANSY. 



The Pansy is one of the most beautiful and popular flowers 

 raised and is so familiar to all that it is needless to say any- 

 thing in its praise. They give such a profusion of bright, 

 beautiful flowers during the spring and autumn months that 

 they are a necessity to every garden. We make pansy seed a 

 specialty, and the strains we offer are unsurpassed. Seed can 

 be sown at almost any time of the year, but the best time to 

 sow for summer and autumn show is early in the spring. All 

 flowers should be picked as soon as they fade, the plants will 

 then bloom more freely. Vautier's New Mammoth for size 

 and brilliancy is unequalled. FAUST'S PANSIES ARE 

 THE FINEST IN THE WORLD.
