PANSY 
A universal favorite with young and old. Every child sees the face in the Pansy, and aside from its great beauty, * 
all treasure it as the symbol of modest worth and true affection. The smallest yard must have its Pansies. Not poo: 
forlorn plants, struggling unaided with heat and drouth and hard baked ground, though even there yielding us handful 
of cheery bloom; but, rather, strong, vigorous plants, rioting in the cool, deep mellow beds they love, made rich win 
fertilizers, kept free from weeds and shaded from the hot afternoon sun. In such a bed one may gather greAt velvets 
Pansies by the hundreds — flowers so radiantly beautiful that they scarcely seem of the earth. Although the Pansy lov* 
coolness, and gives its largest, finest blooms in early spring and late autumn, they are so easy to grow that those living fj 
the South can grow superb ones by giving rich bed, sheltered location and abundant water. Sow seed either in house or }• 
open ground. In the open ground sow seed very early in spring, while the ground is yet cool and moist, for late sum me 
and fall bloom, or in August and September for spring and early summer bloom. For fall-sown seed have the bed moit 
and kept shaded by boards or papers until the plants appear. These will make vigorous plants that will endurfe the wintr 
if protected by a few evergreen boughs, or other light covering. Do not let the plants seed if you wish to keep them j 
bloom. Poor Pansy seed is dear at any price. Ours is saved with great care and is the best.

CHILDS’ SUPERFINE PANSY. 
The Pansy is our leading specialty in seeds, and testi¬ 
monials show that for years we have sold the finest Pansy 
seed that has been sold in this country. As the introducers 
of the Imperial German and Giant Excelsior we have had 
the finest strains of these, the best of all Pansies; Childs’ 
Superfine is merely a careful selection from them. The 
plants which show the greatest vigor and perfection in 
growth, and beauty in size and shape of flower, are selected 
for seed. They are carefully cultivated and the seeds saved 
only from a few of the largest and most perfect flowers of 
the finest colors. We grow it in Northern Germany, where 
the Pansy attains the greatest perfection, and we can em¬ 
phatically say that this is the finest Pansy seed ever offered 
in the world; the very best that can be grown or had at 
price. Per pkt., of 25 seeds, 30c.
