VIS BROTHERS* SUPER-GIANT PANSIES 
Without. Exception the Largest and Most Beautiful Pansies in Cultivation 
The Very Best Pansy Seeds 
I wish to state here that ail of my Pansy seeds 
are of the new crop and of the best possible quality. The 
low price of my seeds is not a criterion of their excellence. 
There are none better, regardless of price. I do not deal in 
cheap seeds, but offer the best seeds at the price asked. As 
to Pansies I refer you to pages 42 and 43. You can abso¬ 
lutely depend upon the seeds there offered. Those who 
once get my seeds become regular patrons. 
Dear Mr. Park: The Roggli Giant Pansies last Spring were 
wonderful, so large, so many colors and variegation::, hardly 
any two alike. They certainly were admired by all who saw 
them. Mrs. K. Wittig, Henry Co., Mo., Aug. 27, 103 4 . 
Dear Mr. Park: Last year I sent for some Pansy seeds; 
they came up wonderfully arid bice soured well. They were 
the best Pansy seeds I ever had. The Monkey Flower(Mim- 
ulus) came up well and blossomed nicely; the Cyclamen also 
were beautiful. All of your seeds'were good. Mrs. J. Hawkey, 
Knox Co., Ohio, March 29, 1934. 
Finest Bedding Pansies. Pansies excel in beauty and 
attractiveness when grown in beds, and tlio seeds I offer 
are of the finest bedding strains. The flowers arc not so 
large as the special named Pansies but the plants stool out 
and bloom more freely than the other Pansies, whilo the fine 
colors are in great diversity and make a fine display above 
the foliage. They may be sown in Fall or early Spring, and 
the plants will bloom freely until hot weather. 200 seeds 
5cts., 1-4 oz. 20cts. 
SARS ago Mr. John Vis, a florist of 
Holland, began the improvement of 
Pansies. His three sons later became 
partners in the business and continued im¬ 
provements until their strain is unrivalled 
today. The plants are of special vigor, excel 
in hardine-ss and free-blboming, forming 
clumps of thrifty foliage, above which the 
long-stemmed flowers are produced in won¬ 
derful abundance so that a bed in full bloom 
is a glorious sight. But the greatest improve¬ 
ments have been in the flowers, which are 
of enormous size and exquisite form, while 
the colors and variegations are marvelous in 
range, showing many new shades and tints, 
often with peculiar and distinct markings 
and blotches, strikingly attractive. The Vis 
Brothers are Pansy specialists, and their best 
efforts have been given to Pansy improve¬ 
ment so that their strain is as near perfection 
as possible. Their climate is just right for 
the full development of the Pansy, and this 
has greatly aided them in their work. Their 
Super-Giant Strain is, however, being in¬ 
creased in beauty and value by very careful 
selection from the acres of Pansies they have 
under cultivation. They arc intelligent, wide¬ 
awake men, and are leaving no stone unturn¬ 
ed in Pansy culture and improvement that 
will add to the beauty, attractiveness, and 
desirability of their various strains. I offer 
their seeds with entire confidence, knowing 
that they are of the new crop and embraco 
their latest improvements. I hope that every 
one of my patron-friends will get seeds of 
Vis’ Super-Giant Pansies. I am sure that they 
will afford much satisfaction and pleasure. 
Tufted Pansies.— The Tufted Pansies are 
hybrids of Viola Cornuta and other species. 
They resemble Pansies in form, but differ 
more or less in size, foliage, and growth. 
They come in various self colors, as well as 
variegations and are well adapted for beds 
or borders as the plants endure hot sun bet¬ 
ter than Pansies and bloom freely for a long 
time. They are easily grown from seeds. 5Gs.
