FLOWER SEEDS — Continued

OUR PANSY SEEDS ARE IMPORTED 
We import our pansy seeds direct from the leading growers in Europe, and in that way we 
are assured that we have seeds that have passed the experimental stage and are bound to give 
you Fine flowers. 
For outdoor bedding seeds should be sown in boxes very early and covered with glass, then 
transplanted. 
PANSIES are favorites with all, but for best re- 
sults you must start with the good strains. 
PANSY SEED germinates and the plants grow 
more freely in the cool, early days of spring, and 
for summer blooming should be sown by the later 
part of April, or early May. A soil containing a 
portion of leaf mould, well enriched with well- 
decayed cow manure, will be the most satisfac- 
tory for the growing of this flower, and it should 
be well dug and made fine and level. 
ORCHID FLOWERING. A mixture of delicate 
shades and pleasing light tones. Flowers light 
shades and entirely new. Pkt., 20c. 
TRIMARDEAU. The largest flowering type of 
pansies; called the French strain. The petals are 
different sizes and very beautifully marked. Pkt., 
15c. 
BUGNOT SUPERB. A round ruffled flve-petal 
type, with soft blended colors and tints, veined 
on the margin, and a dark blotch at the base of 
each petal. One of the finest varieties. Pkt., 25c.

practically all the varieties, shades and tints, with 
the exception of the rarest ones. Pkt., 10c.

MASTERPIECE PANSY. What is prettier and 
gives more pleasure than a bed of pansies? Packet 
contains enough seed to be assured of 100 plants. 
Sold only in 25c packets. Try one. 
Our stock of Pansy seed, especially of this 
variety, is the finest to be had in all of Europe. 
The flowers have been known to measure up to 4 
inches across and invariably run between 2 and 
3 inches. Healthy, robust plants producing flow- 
ers on extra long stems, which have elegantly 
waved or curled petals, giving the flower a dis- 
tinctly refined appearance. The seed comes in 
mixed colors, with a greater portion of the 
blotched varieties. There is no finer quality of 
pansies in existence than we are offering and we 
defy competition. Pansies delight in semi-shaded, 
cool locations, and they must be kept supplied 
with moisture during the hot months of the year. 
DIPPE’S SELECTED STOCK 
We have secured a selected strain of this choice 
flower, which bears fully 80% of double flowers. 
They bloom very early. A beautiful soft pink, 
long stems. Fine for cut flowers. Pkt., 15c. 
TUFTED PANSIES OR VIOLAS 
Few people appreciate the beauty of these flow- 
ers but no one who has once seen a bed or border 
of them can fail to realize how much they add 
to a garden. 
They are especially adapted to shady places 
and are invaluable for edging flower beds or 
walks. 
While not so large as the other pansies, they 
bloom much more freely and possess a wonderful 
color effect. We have them in a variety of colors. 
Pkt.. 10c. 
PENTSTEMON. Similar to the Fox Glove, but 
in a greater variety of colors. It is a hardy 
perennial and blooms the first year from seed.

factory. Mixed, pkt., 10c.
