Dwarf, Quality Mixture. The dwarf varieties grow only a 
foot high. The plants are covered with the beautiful blooms 
continuously. This is one of the most satisfactory summer 
flowers to grow that I know of. As a border or in solid mass 
they make a most magnificent sight. The more flowers you 
cut off the more come on, and the stems being long makes 
them very valuable for bouquets. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 cts.,

Hardy Biennial 
Who does not know and love the Pansy blossom? No artist, 
however great his ability, can blend colors so gorgeously, so 
inexpressibly beautiful as our Creator has painted these little 
gems. Do not plan your flower-garden without allowing for a 
bed of Pansies. I offer only two mixtures and they are abso- 
lutely the grandest of all. What is the use of planting anything 
less than the best? These mLxtures include every conceivable 
color, and the seed is saved from the largest specimen flowers 
of the most varied colorings. 
How-to Grow Pansies. In sowing the seed, never allow your 
seed-beds to become dry, for any dryness after the seeds sprout 
is absolutely fatal. When your seedlings or young plants are 
ready to set out or transplant to where you want them to bloom, 
dig your plant-bed to a depth of lo to 12 inches, pulverize 
thoroughly to a depth of 6 to 8 inches, mix in 2 to 3 inches of 
well-rotted manure, or Wizard Brand Sheep Manure. Cultivate 
often: too little cultivation is the cause of most failures in 
obtaining first-class results. Good drainage is necessary; set 
your plants deep in rows 8 inches apart so you can cultivate, 
and set plants 6 inches apart in the rows. 
Schell's Exquisite Exhibition Giants 
Positively incomparable. Friends, words cannot describe to 
you the marvelous beauty of the unusual color markings and 
shades of the flowers produced from this mixture. And the 
sine — you will think your eyes are deceiving you. for perhaps 
you have never seen their equal, as the flowers average 4 inches 
in diameter. The most rigid selection of mother plants is made 
and these seed plants are reset in the fall and undergo the rigors 
of winter unprotected, thus making them extremely hardy and 
vigorous. The colors include lavendtr and gold, red with silver 
rim. red and gold, pure white, red. yellow, rose, bronze, violet, 
black, lavender, etc., with a dozen or more variations in each 
of these colors. The flowers are borne on much longer stems 
than other strains. If you want to see something of unusual 
beauty, grow these Giants. It costs much to produce a strain 
of Pansies like these, yet I am willing to refund your money 
if you are not glad you have them after they bloom. Pkt. 50 cts., 
^oz. $1, Hoz. $1.75. Koz. S3. Koz. $5.50. oz. $10. 
One ounce will make about 6,000 plants 
ScheU*s Mammoth Mixture Pansies. The splendid mbcture 
of very large-flowering, beautifully colored Pansies which 
I have been offering for years past. Next to my Exhibition 
Giants, it is the best mixture possible to produce. Many 
commercial growers have been getting this mixture from 
us for years.
