1. May's Special riixture for Florists. For years past 
we have made Pan.^y seeds our specialty and the thou- 
sands of tratimoniaLs and the large number of florists 
that we supply animally with seeds prove conclusive- 
ly that our strains of this popular flower are unsur- 
passed. The plants produced from this mixture are of 
the greatest vigor and perfection in growth as well as 
beauty; in size, color and shape of the flowers. The 
collection that we offer has been carefully selected from 
over a hundred strains which we have tested in our 
greenhouses, and we are positive that there is not 
another firmin the world tliat can offer a finer mixture. 
Some of the flowers will be solid colors of large size, 
while others will be blotched, stained, marked or 
margined in the showiest manner. The rich and varied 
colors of this mixture cannot fail to please the most 
exacting pan.^y specialists. We have tried many of 
the high priced mixtures offered by Tarious hovi-ses.

Mixture, it is thoroughly first-class in every par- 
ticular, and we know efiual to some that is being 
sold at nearly double this price by some firms. In 
making up this collection we have endeavored to 
select the thriftiest and strongest growing vai^ 
ieties, such sorts as we know by experience would

PANSY SEEDS AT S CENTS PER PACKET. We

pose to show our many f ri(*nds that we can supply 
them with almost all the colors at the above price, 
and ^'ive them regular size packets. Of course the 
seed is not so carefully saved or selected from the 
largest flowers , but it is very good, and we are certain 
those who invest will be perfectly satisfied. If you 
want the very finest varieties and mast perfect blos- 
soms, we must ask you to pay a little more and get
