Giant Trimardeau 
i lie peculiar suggestive beauty of the Pansy, has given it a place in the favor and estimation of thousands of peo- 
ple which cannot be filled by the substitution of any other flower : and in case the pansy is omitted, there is a vacancy un- 
filled in the flower garden, and an incompleteness which cannot be remedied -but by planting this delightful and popular 
perennial. Its popularity, although of remote date, is ever increasing and extending, and now, there is no flower of 
this class that is so universally admired as the Pansy, in its most perfect state. The increasing interest in its culture 
has given rise to the introduction of new and improved sorts, and thus we have a number of varieties of surpassing 
beauty, and of exceedingly large flowers, which are produced profusely and abundantly from spring until autumn. 
The following varieties I have listed, feeling assured of their superiority, and believing they will give the most gen- 
eral .satisfaction of any kinds now existing. 
Giant Trimardeau Pansies. 
(See Cut.) 
An entirely distinct and beautiful race, recently offered, which has commended itself to all lovers of this popular 
flower ; the plants are of vigorous though compact habit ; the flowers are carried well, and each one is marked with 
three large blotches or spots ; they are of refined form, and present a notable difference from those of all known 
races, in being of a size hitherto quite unattained in this genius. Price, per pkt., 25 cts. 
Low’s Superb Pansies. 
(See Cut.) 
It affords me much pleasure to offer this superior strain of pansy 
seed to my customers, as I am fully assured that its rare and wonderful 
beauty, will please everybody who is at all interested in pansy culture. 
It is the result of continued and careful efforts in selecting and train- 
ing. and in its unique and peculiar markings, far surpasses anything 1 
have previously grown ; the almost infinite variety of shades and colors 
it produces, renders it extremely desirable as a show pansy. Among 
the many varieties and various strains from different seedsmen and 
florists grown on my grounds last season, these far excelled them all 
in beauty, and were the delight of all visitors and customers who saw 
them. I distributed large quantities of plants of the various strains, 
but these gave the greatest satisfaction. The Giant varieties give 
larger blooms, but the greater diversity of color renders these more 
popular. Seeds, extra selected, per pkt., 25 cts. ; per 500 seed, Si. 00; 
per 1000 seed. Si. 50. 
Odier, or French Blotched. — A most beautiful and strik- 
ing variety ; producing an abundance of large-eyed flowers, blotched 
on each petal. Splendid and very popular. Price per pkt., 15 cts. ; 4 
pkts., 50 cts. 
Normandie Pansy. — For general purposes this is, by many, considered to be the most fitting and desirable 
strain obtainable, but in the opinion of many in this section, the Giant is preferable. However this is an excellent 
variety, free blooming, large and perfectly marked flowers. Price per pkt., 1 5 cts. : 4 pkts., 50 cts. 
Imperial German. — Excellent. From the Pansy specialist of Europe ; his best strain. Price per pkt., 15 
cts. ; 4 pkts., 50 cts. 
“ The Giant.” — This is a new and exceedingly valuable sort; of extremely large and beautiful flowers, free 
bloomers, strong, thrifty plant, and best suited for general use. Do not omit to try it. It will surely please and give 
perfect satisfaction. Price per pkt., 25 cts. 
Pansies in Colors. — From twelve separate and distinct colors from imported seed, superior stock ; each color 
separate or the twelve mixed. Price per pkt., in separate colors, 25 cts. ; twelve pkts., #2.00.
