MY SPECIALTY "QUALITY" FLOWER SEEDS 



FOR LATE SUMMER AND AUTUMN SOWING 



PANSIES 



My Pansy Seed during the past season gave unprecedented 

 satisfaction and every order booked last year was duplicated 

 and increased tliis year. All the testimonials received mentioned 

 specially tlie high grade of flowers — color, form and size of the 

 individual blossoms. One customer said I could write the testi- 

 monial myself, and to use his own words, " could make it as 

 strong as I liked." Tliis year, by adding improved types, intend- 

 ing cu.stomers can absolutely rely on a duplication of this season's 

 success with increased satisfaction. My " mark " for this strain 

 is "Challenge," and it is all the word denotes.

 specialists of America and Europe. All large flowers of good 

 substance in an infinite variety of color and markings. New

 as pot plants for winter and spring flowering. See special 

 notes on these two last named varieties. Page 21
