tient waiting. Now we are able to offer you seed, producing 
plants with blooms immense in size and of the richest colors 
imaginable, that simply dazzle the onlooker and that you will 
sell at almost double the price common pansies sell for and 
sell them as fast as you reach the market even at times 
when other pansies go begging. Our American Pansy mix¬ 
ture is so superior and so absolutely unbeatable that we are 
making you the following unheard of offer. 
MONEY BACK IF NOT FULLY SATISFIED

nature's most wonderful gift to mankind, we ask but one favor. 
Drop us a postal card and tell us that the seed did not come up 
to your expectations and we will immediately mail you a check 
In full for your entire purchase of American Pansy seed. We will 
also do this: Upon request we will send you a trade packet of 
this pansy seed containing 450 to 500 seeds worth 40 cents. You 
plant the seed first for a trial and if you will find that the seed 
does not produce blooms VERY MUCH SUPERIOR to what you 
used to raise you send us the 40 cents—otherwise you need not send 
a cent. T. pkt. 40c; % oz. $1.50; 1 oz. $10.00; % lb. $37.50; 1 lb.

ORNITHOGALUM LACTEUM 
Darling Chincherichee. A bulbous plant producing star-like 
flowers of pure white with dark eyes, in dense racemes on stalks 
18-24 inches tall. A wonderful cut flower that has unparalleled 
keeping qualities. Can be sent long distances without refrigeration 
and will arrive in perfect condition. Not hardy, the bulbs must not 
be allowed to freeze. Seeds germinate readily. Sow in a cool house 
in the Spring in a seed bed, transplant into flats filled with good 
soil, leave the flats outdoors, carry in before freezing weather. 
Place flats on the benches the following year in October. About 
75% of your plants will give a crop of flowers and you will get a 
100% crop the third year and from then on. The plants stay in 
bloom for over two months and are in bloom for Easter. After 
blooming, the flats should be dried off and placed again on the 
benches the following October and this can be repeated for a period 
of years. If the bulbs are cold storaged they do best in a tem¬ 
perature of 36 deg. F. Ornlthogalum is a beautiful flower, greatly 
admired by all that have seen it and there is no reason to doubt 
that it will become one of the popular flowers like gladioli and 
others are today. T. pkt. 20c; % oz. 60c; oz. $4.00; lb. $40.00.
