> The Pansy is a universal favorite, and its 
U A |\l \# charming blooms are most effective in 
1 I m i beds, lines or in clumps in the mixed 
• • — border. The wonderful diversity m the 
colors and the markings of the flowers, as well as the ease of culture, 
and the length of time it continues to bloom, all contribute to this. We 
make a specialty of the Pansv, and guarantee that ' EWlNCi b 
PRIZE STRAIN " will produce flowers that cannot be surpassed 
in size, shape or brilliancy of coloring, and in it will be found repre- 
sentatives of all the best varieties of the present time. On this 
account we think it necessary only to offer, separately, represent.itiycs 
of a few of the leading and distinct strains. Though a hardy perennial, 
the largest and be.st blooms are always obtained from the first year .1 
growth from seed; blooms all summer.
