VAUQHAN'S PANSIES. 



MASTERPIECE— NEW GIANT CURLED. 



This strain comes nearer to " Double Pansies " than anything ever introduced 

 under that name. In reality the number of petals is the same as that in other Pansy 

 flowers, but they are crimped and curled in such a fashion that the flowers appear 

 double. The flowers are of enormous size, often 3 inches across, and the color vari- 

 ations and combinations are oda aiiu striking. Trade Pkt., 50c.; '/soz., 75c.; % oz . 

 11.35; oz, 15.00. 



PSYCHE. Not one of the many Pansy varieties has such a winning appearance as 

 Psyche. The plant is perfect in habit and very floriferous. Each 

 flower is elegantly curled and undulated and in every respect a beauty in form and 

 color. The characteristic five velvety violet blotches or eyes are surrounded by a 

 broad white edge. Comes true from seed. Trade Pkt., 50c.; '/e oz., 80c,; oz., $5.00. 



BRIDESMAID. The flowers of this new interesting variety are very large and of 

 — fine form. Its ground color is a Rosy White, rivaling in delicacy 

 and beauty with the finest Apple-blossom, and most strikingly setting off the dark 

 blotches of ihe center. Trade^i'kt., 25c.; >a oz., SOa; oz., $3.75. 



RUBY. This new variety embraces the richest shadei. of red colors from scarlet, 

 — ^— scarlet-orange, wine-red to rose. Originating from the Giant Gassier class 

 It possesses the same regular dwarf habit of the plants and the large size and fine 

 form of the flowers. Trade Pkt. (250 seeds) 25c. 



GIANT PRETIOSA. The flowers of this novelty are similar to those of the 

 — — ^— Masterpiece Pansy, each petal is marked with a very 

 large blotch of deep violet color, these blotches are surrounded by a brilliant crimson 

 rose background and the ground color is margined with a pure white edge. A very 

 effective and bright variety, and we are sure that this novelty will please our custo- 

 mers. Trade Pkt, (250 seeds), 2,5c. 



NEW ORCHID-FLOWERE D PANSI ES. A most interesUng type of 



Pansies of the Giant Flowered 

 Class, containing a mixture of the most surprising, novel, unique and beautiful color 

 combinations, entirely new among Pansies. The ground color of nearly all the 

 flowers is in light shades, the petals are marked with large brown or golden yellow 

 blotches which diffuse into rays and veins toward the edge. The upper petals are 

 upright and sort of plaited, which gives the flowers their resemblance to orchids. 

 The colors range in the terra cotta shadings as well as in che flesh, orange, rose, pink 

 and lilac. Trade Pkt. (250 seeds), 25c.
