Pansies, Re-selected Giant-flowered 
HESE are so 
well and favor¬ 
ably known that 
a description of 
their exquisite beauty 
and usefulness in the 
garden is unnecessary. 
They are simply indis¬ 
pensable, and if I were 
to name a half dozen of 
our best seedling flowers 
the Pansy would be one 
of them. There is, how¬ 
ever, much difference in 
the strains, some being 
greatly superior in the 
vigor and free-blooming 
quality' of other plants, 
as well as the great size, 
form, variety and rich¬ 
ness of colors and varie¬ 
gations. I am pleased to 
say that the seeds I offer 
are fromPansy special¬ 
ists, all of the new crop, 
and cannot be surpassed 
in quality, regardless of 
claim or price. I chal¬ 
lenge comparative trial. 
They are simply unri¬ 
valled . See pages 4 and 5,

G IANT^.WINTER BLOOMING PANSIES 
These are unusually hardy, and bloom very early in spring; indeed where winters are mild they bloom through¬ 
out the cold months with a little protection, as a cold frame or lath house they will bloom during the Northern 
winters. Started in August or early September, so as to come into bloom by winter, you may often dig fine firs 
out from beneath the snow. I offer only the giant-flowd varieties, as follows: Celestial Queen, sky blue, beautiful. 
Charm of March, rich velvety blue. Helios, pure golden yellow without eye. Ice King, silvery white with dark blue 
eye. Jove, purple-violet, upper petals azure shading to white. Jupiter, deep purple, top petals white. March Beauty, 
velvety dark blue, superb. Mars, cornflower blue. North Pole, pure snow-white. Winter Sun, golden yellow with a 
distinct dark eye. Woden, very dark almost black. These colors separate or mixed, 200 seeds. 1-16 oz. 15 cts. 
Note: I would call special attention to my offer of the famous Roggli Swiss Giant Pansies. The seeds were 
grown for me by a Holland specialist, and were saved from selected plants with large-flowd rich colored blooms. 
I am confident they cannot be excelled. You will find them not only of the highest quality in size, form and ex¬ 
quisite colors. Under favorable conditions every seed will germinate and give you a sturdy plant. 
PORTULACA the BEAUTIFUL ROSE MOSS 
These are among the most beautiful, free-blooming of our hardy annuals. 
The plants are low and spreading, and the seedlings begin to bloom when small, and in¬ 
crease in size and beauty with age. The single firs are cup-shaped, and the double appear 
like little double roses, and in a bed the display is wonderfully attractive throughout the 
summer. The plants like sandy soil and a sunny exposure, grow and bloom freely, and are 
never troubled with diseases or pests. They will endure more hot sun and drouth than al¬ 
most any other flower. They should be generally grown. Double-flowered, Benary’s Prize 
Strain; White, Orange, Striped, Rose, Salmon, Purple, separate 300 seeds. Double complete 
mixture SOOseeds. The single-flowered are gorgeous in a mixture of colors. Pkts. Mixed 600
