Morse's Superb Pansies 
All our Pansy seed is obtained from the most noted European specialists. Pansies thrive best in a moist, shady 
location and in rich, loamy soil. Seed should be sown in the autumn for early spring blossoms, or can be sown 
early in the year for good flowers later in the spring. The blossoms are usually larger in the spring and again in the 
fall, and while they bloom freely all summer, the blossoms are small during the hot months. While the plants carry 
over well with a little covering during the winter, it is best to plant new seed each year. 
We offer the following extra selected strains of superior large flowers especially for pansy fanciers, all at 25c 
per pkt. Special offer, 5 pkts. $1.00: 
Dr. Faust, jet black; Five Spotted on white ground; Striped Mixed; Azure Blue, white edge; Giant Fancy, light blue; 
Goldelse, clear yellow; Cardinal, blood red; Emperor William, purple, violet shaded; Snow White. 
SPLENDID MIXTURES 
MORSE'S PRIZE STRAIN. The Seed of Morse's 
Prize Strain Pansy is grown for us by a noted specialist 
in Germany, and is saved from exhibition flowers, in- 
cluding almost every shade of color, exquisitely spotted 
and blotched, veined, mottled and margined, and fancy 
varieties. This strain is so beautiful that no description 
or praise can do it justice, being unsurpassed for rich 
and varied colors and immense size. 
Pkt. of 500 seeds, 50c.

with a dark blotch at the base of each petal. One of the 
finest varieties. Pkt., 25c. 
Cassier's Giant, Mixed: a splendid mixture of various 
shades and markings. The blossoms are perfectly round 
and are blotched at the base of 3 to 5 of the petals. Pkt., 25c. 
Giant Trimardeau, Mixed: the largest flowering type of 
pansies, called the French strain. The top petals are larger

Giant Masterpiece: these new pansies have a most beautiful 
combination of rich velvety coloring and attractive wavy or 
ruffled petals. This wavy effect gives a graceful appearance 
rarely seen in pansies, and while they are really very large, 
they appear larger on this account. Pkt., 25c/
