all, 20 Prizes—Total, $200.00. 
This Is the largest sum of money ever offered for 
specimen Pansy blossoms and is something worth 
trying to secure. 
Competition open to all my customers who purchase either an 8 cent 
or 12 cent packet of the “Royal Show.” The contest closes Oct. 15tb, 
1896, at 6 p. m., when the prizes will be Immediately awarded tho suc¬ 
cessful competitors. All blossoms must be carefully pressed and 
mailed to me before this date, with the name and full address of 
the sender on back of “Competition Envelope.” which accompanies 
each order. In case there are several flowers received of exactly the 
same size, Beauty and Markings of the flowers will take first place. 
Heretofore, I have limited tho number of prizes to ten. This season 
I double the number, which gives ten more chances to premium 
winners and I trust that every one of my pansy lovers will enter the 
contest this season and break the record of 27a inches by a blossom 
measuring at least 314 inches across, which I am satisfied can be ac¬ 
complished with a favorable season.
