JOHN LEWIS CHILDS, 
Fancy Striped Pansies* 
These are real gems of fantastic coloring. A strain 
made up of various colors, all elegantly and grotesquely 
striped and variegated. These Pansies will be greatly 
admired for their odd and beautiful and distinct stripes —10 
Fancy Scarlet and Red Pansies* 
This is a mixture of all the new colors in scarlet and 
red which have been recently introduced, such as Fiery 
Face, Cardinal, Fire King, etc. It runs largely to very 
bright colors.10 
Fancy Margined Pansies* 
The large, fine blossoms of these are of various colors, 
white, blue, black, yellow, purple, etc., all with beautiful 
margins of white and gold, bordering each flower. The 
effect is very unique and beautiful...•.».10

FLORAL PARK N. Y. 
. Violet-Scented Pansies* 
This new type is a cross between the Pansy and the 
Yiolet, combining the ideal properties of each. The flowers 
are much larger than the Yiolet, more like Pansies, but with 
the delicious fragrance of the former. The flowers are also 
quite free from central rays and markings, and the habit of 
the plant is decidedly dwarf and compact^ producing its 
flowers on long foot-stalks, and they appear continually 
from early spring until late fall. The plants possess to a 
considerable extent the hardy and robust nature of the 
Yiolet, and make splendid pot as well as garden'plants. 
This unique strain originated with Dr. Stuart, of Chirnside, 
England, and was named by him “Violetta.” They are now 
called “Tufted Pansies,” “Miniature Pansies,” and “Violet- 
Scented Pansies.” The latter name seems to us to be the 
most appropriate. The range of color runs through white, 
buff, canary and azure blue, and the coloring of each is 
exceedingly delicate and charming. A most important 
novelty, and one in which all admirers of the Pansy and 
Yiolet will be especially delighted. We first introduced this 
strain several years ago, since when it has been wonderfully 
improved.....20 
Violet-Pansy Papilio* 
A decided novelty, and a cross between the Pansy and 
Violet. The flowers are Violet-shaped, large, and borne m 
endless profusion, a plant showing from 20 to 40 blossoms 
every day from spring until late fall. Color, a lovely violet- 
lilac, in some plants darker than others, with a dark eye. 
For bedding purposes this new Violet-Pansy is one of tne 
best we have seen in a long time..... ■
