M ill satisfy your critical trade both as to size and variation of color¬ 
ing. Truly the ’ last word” in Pansy mixtures and is our exclusive 
strain. 
If you are looking for “the unusual in Pansies” and your trade will 
pay the price for product, here it is. We have searched the world over 
to find a better mixture. However, thus far we have been unable to

a premium over stock produced from other so-called “fancy” mixtures.

cultures to A. B. C. “De Luxe” Mixed.
