Burgess* New Fragrant Pansy—i 
MYOSOTIS (Forget-Me-Not) 
Few spring flowers are more admired than the lovely Forget-Me-Nots, which are es¬ 
pecially effective when grown in masses. The Alpestris varieties are biennial and come 
into bloom very early in the spring and are largely used for bedding or borders in con¬ 
nection with spring-flowering bulbs. Pansies, etc. They also bloom again in the fall; 
bloom freely the first season and still more profusely the second spring. They do best 
in shady, moist situations. .

Swiss Giant Pansies 
New Swiss Giant Pansies 
The Most Gorgeous We Have Ever Seen 
If you really want extraordinary Pansies, by all means sow 
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% 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 
pkts., 65c, postpaid. 
This new Pansy novelty has a most 
delightful fragrance which in no way 
compares to the faint smell usually 
found in Pansies. A dozen or two 
flowers in a vase in a reasonable size 
room will fill the entire air with a 
sweet yet delicate perfume. Our 
new fragrant Pansies were, a few 
years ago, accidentally found grow¬ 
ing in a field of Roggli Giants in 
Japan. They are mammoth in size 
and we now have them in a fine as¬ 
sortment of shades, ranging from 
the most delicate to the brightest, 
richest, and most gorgeous colors. 
This is a wonderful Pansy for bou¬ 
quets, and we believe it to be one of 
the most noteworthy novelties of re¬ 
cent years. Pkt., 35c. 
GIANT RUFFLED MASTERPIECE. Giant- 
sized flowers of most striking character, each 
petal being conspicuously curled or waved, giv¬ 
ing them the effect of a double flower. The 
colors are mainly rich dark shades, bordered, 
blotched, or marked in ray-like veinings with 
contrasting colors. Bloom freely and con¬ 
tinuously as long as the weather remains cool. 
Pkt., 20c; 3 pkts., 50c.

until late in the fall. The name “Orchid-Flowered” has been
