Burgess’ Choice Pansies 
Swiss Giant Pansies 
Choice American 
and European Seecjl 
Pansies are favorites with all, and are 
too well known to require any descrip¬ 
tion. For best results you mus f t start 
with a good strain. We spare neither 
pains nor expense to satisfy the most 
critical trade. Our seed is produced and 
saved with great care and is the best. 
The finest Pansies are, as a rule, shy 
seeders, which accounts for the differ¬ 
ence in the price of the various mix¬ 
tures. 
BURGESS’ BEST GIANT FLOWERED. A 
fine assortment of colors and variations of 
colors, with the gigantic blossoms well above 
the foliage, erect on long, stiff stems. Burgess’ 
Best Giant Flowered and the New Swiss Giants 
are, we believe, the two best strains of giant 
flowered Pansies available. You will be mak¬ 
ing no mistake if you plant seed of both strains.

New Swiss Giant Pansies 
The Most Gorgeous We Have Ever Seen

these New Swiss Giants. They are of recent introduction, com¬ 
ing direct from Switzerland, and are, without exception, the 
most gorgeous Pansies we have ever seen. They are of immense 
size, often measuring 3*4 inches across, and are perfectly shaped 
flowers of thick velvety texture. The wide range of colorings and 
markings include the richest reds, coppers, bronzes, and yellows, 
together with the delicate rose-pinks and those beautiful light 
blues so much desired in Pansies. One of the outstanding fea¬ 
tures of this wonderful strain is that the long, stiff stems hold 
the flowers well above the foliage; and the fact that the blooms 
retain their size almost throughout the season, makes it most 
valuable as a cut-flower as well as for bedding. Pkt., 25c; 3
