Cannell & Sons’ Complete Seed Guide. 
Cannells PansiGS {Viola tricolor)'-^-* We grow the largest and 
most complete collection of all this family in the kingdom. Pansies and 
Violas form a separate department in our gardens; for years we have 
been improving all classes, the Rainbow section in particular, these varieties 
possess more real salvia blue colour than any other kinds, and arc favourites 
with every one. The seeds we now offer — if the plants are put in open 
beds, previously deeply dug, and manured good ground — will be a charm 
indeed ; they are not large, but lovely in the extreme. 
h.p. Dp. Sankey’s StPiped — For many years this gentleman, the 
oldest and most successful hybridiser and raiser of flowers in the world, has 
so improved these kinds that they will now and for henceforth form a very 
distinct class: colours wonderfully bright and attractive, and gives us a 
new feature in Pansies, h ft. 1 . 9 . per pkt.

When exhibited in the great show at the Temple Gardens it caused

* It should be distinctly understood, and undoubtedly so. that many mistakes 
and disappointments arise from the name “SHOW PANSY ” for that title is 
misleading to yonng beginners and amatenrs. The Pansy shown under that heading 
is vory small and of only one or two colours, and but seldom shown at exhibitions, 
nowadays. Formerly it was the only class of bloom staged; but since the intro, 
duetion of the " Fancy Pansy" they have quite excelled the old “Show.” Many 
persons therefore think because the Fancies are the only kinds met with nt all the 
large exhibitions they are “ Show Pansies." 'that ie not so, fortlie difference between 
them are as distinct as Show and Fancy Dahlias. One is limited to a few colours, 
whereas the other has a much wider range of colour, and also larger flowers and 
broader petals, the markings not so even and rogular in their colouration ns the old 
Show Pansy. We wish all oar customers to make themselves thoroughly acquainted 
with these observations when ordering their Pansy Seed. 
h.p. Pansy Rainbow — No Pansies are so lovely and elegant as 
these, not on account of their great size as their surprising colours, almost 
every shade can be seen in them ; but a bright blue and purple prevails 
blended one into the other, hence its name ; they are most deliciously 
scented and free flowering, and the surprise of all, in our opinion they will 
give something more than satisfaction. 4 ft. Is. and 2*. 6rf. per pkt. 
h.p. Pansy Show, Extra Choice, Mixed— Saved from onr acre 
of Pansies, the finest collection in the South of England. £ ft. Is. -and 
2s. 6<f. per pkt. See Collection. 
h.p. Pansy Snow Queen — We have many white Pansies, but none 
can compare with this; it is so white and pure that all others appear dirty 
when planted by the side of it ; therefore the effect is most pleasing. It is 
certainly one of the best novelties introduced amongst Pansies for years.
