DESCRIPTION. 
This is the finest strain of 
Pansies that we have been 
able to secure in Europe, 
which as every one knows, 
is where the' best pansy 
seed is raised. 
The introducer says of the 
Belgian strain, that the 
seed has been carefully se- 
lected each season for sev- 
eral years, from the largest 
and most handsomely 
marked flowers, and as a 
result almoB?; every con- 
ceivable shade and color is 
found in this grand strain, 
together with the largest 
sized flowers. They bloom 
throughout the entire sum- 
mer and furnish an endless 
variety of colors, some 
self or solid, others blotch- 
ed, striped and veined in the 
most charming manner. 
We have tried the strain 
the past season andconsider 
it far superior to any we 
have ever had, and know 
that all our customers who 
plant this strain will be 
greatly pleased with the 
wonderful size of flowers as 
well as with the beautiful 
combination of .shades and 
colors. Pkt. 25c., 3 pkts.
