GERMAIN SEED AND PLANT CO. 
SCABIOSA, “AZURE FAIRY.” 
A grand new tall double annual Scabious of delicate shades of lilac, lavender and azure blue. On ac¬ 
count of its large size, fine color and long stems, it is especially recommended for cutting purposes. Pkt. 10c. 
Pansy “Masterpiece.” 
Pansy 
“Masterpiece” 
The new Giant Curled or Ruffled 
Pansy. This remarkable new type 
represents one of the greatest suc¬ 
cesses in hybridizing of late years, 
and the highest perfection in the 
Giant Five Spotted Pansies, for 
which reason the originator named 
it "Masterpiece.” The principal 
difference from other pansies con¬ 
sists in the quite original form of 
the flowers, the border of each 
petal being curled and undulated. 
The enormous flowers are borne on 
long stems and are of great sub¬ 
stance, containing the richest com¬ 
binations of color, ever seen in a 
five-spotted Pansy. Each petal is 
marked with a large dark blotch, 
and most of the flowers are mar¬ 
gined with a light, white or yellow 
edge. The general habit of the 
plant is strong, bushy, compact 
and remarkably healthy. Per pkt.

NEW SWEET PEA 
“Mont Blanc.” 
This is the earliest Sweet Pea yet introduced 
and may be regarded as the forerunner of an 
extra early flowering race. It appeared five 
years ago as a single plant in a field of Earliest 
Blanche Ferry, and was in bloom a week before 
that variety had expanded its first flower. The 
plants have not such rank growth as the old 
sorts, and are not so tall, but neater, and more 
graceful in habit. The leaves are unusually 
narrow and of a pleasing light gray-green color. 
The flowers are large and of the purest white, 
in shape resembling Emily Henderson, but the 
standard is somewhat wider. The flowers are 
borne well clear of the foliage, so that scarcely 
a flower is hidden. In a trial made of several 
white varieties, including Blanche Burpee and 
Emily Henderson, all planted the same day, 
"Mont Blanc” produced its first flower 12 days 
before any of the others, and was in full bloom 
17 davs before Emily Henderson. Per pkt. 10c.
