TJ A TXTCV The Pansy is a universal favor- 
irxvLlOX ite. and its charming 
blooms are most effective in beds, lines or in clumps in the 
mixed border. The wonderful diversity in 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 contnbute 
tothis Wemakeaspeeialtvof thePANSY. andguarantee 
that •■ EWING-S PRIZE STRAIN " will produce flowers 
that cannot be surpassed in size, shape or brilliancy or 
coloring, and in it will be found representatives of all the best 
varieties of the present time. On this account we think it 
necessary only to offer, separately, representatives of a few 
of the leading and distinct strains. Though a hardy peren- 
nial, the largest and best blooms are always obtained from 
the first year's growth from seed blooms all summer.
