PANSY AMERICA 
World’s Best Pansy 
Best of all because its colors are brighter and more varied than 
those of other pansies, its petals are thick and velvety, the flo'wers do 
not curl up and do not look wilted and sick as do many fluted large 
flowered thin petaled pansies. The plants are of compact and dwarf 
growth, the blooms are carried on short and stiff stems. In a word 
Pansy America is so very superior that anybody at a glance can see 
that Pansy America is THE PANSY. It is only a few years ago that 
we introduced Pansy America. Today every seedman of importance 
is listing it. A proof that America is so way ahead of other pansies 
that if a seedman did not list it and did not have the seed for his 
customers he would be considered as a seedman that is behind the 
times. 
America Pansy has flowers of great size. In our trials we find that 
other strains of pansies come close in size to our America and some 
have even just as big flowers as our America. But the immense size 
in other pansies is of little value for the reason that, not possessing 
the thick, velvety, very substantial petals of America the flowers of 
these large flowered strains curl up or partly close at the first ap¬ 
proach of hot weather. All pansies that we tried so far (we have tried 
a great many strains) grow tall, the plants become "leggy” the wind 
whips the plants back and forth, the bloom is carried on tall spindly 
stalks and none can compare with our Pansy America. Pansy America 
is an early blooming pansy. It beats in earliness other strains of 
pansies from two to fully four weeks. 
We are paying much attention to our plantations of America Pansy, 
in order to have superior seed. We are sure that the brightest col¬ 
ored, the largest and wide open flowers on short, compact plants will 
result only by using our strain of America. T. pkt. 30c; 1/16 oz. 66c; 
% oz. $1.20; oz. $8.00; lb. $120.00. 
We are recommending our Pansy America very strongly. This we 
do because we are absolutely sure that no one, that will u-y, will be 
anywhere near disappointed. Pansy America cannot be over-praised. 
It is as near perfection as anything on this earth can be. You are 
welcome to a packet containing about 600 seeds absolutely free for 
the asking so that you can try our strain of A. P. at our expense. 
Give our Pansy a trial. This done we assure you that Pansy America 
will be the only Pansy that you will care to grow. This whether you 
--'or bedding purposes or in the greenhouse for cut 
a free sample. 
Tasmania Bean 
TASMANIA BEAN 
ALSO CALLED GUINEA BEAN 
Tasmania Bean is a variety of Cocozella, 
producing an immense amount of fruit, delicate 
in taste and nourishing, whether boiled, fried. 
stewed or baked. To many people, the fruit 
sliced, breaded and fried in butter tastes like 
a most tender veal steak. The fruit grows on 
STATICE DUMOSA 
THE FINEST STATICE FOB DKYING 
vines similar to those of squash but much 
more vigorous in growth. If given support 
the vines will climb and the fruit will hang 
down and be of fine, straight, symmetrical 
form. Pick when young, when the fruits weigh 
about 8 pounds or less. Cultivate same as for 
watermelons. Place 2 or 3 seeds in each hill, 
not more. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; % lb. 60c; lb. 
$ 2 . 00 . 
Of great value to the florist, in fact the most valuable of 
all Statices. In general appearance it resembles the well- 
known Incana Nana variety, which, when dried is being im¬ 
ported from Germany and here used in immense quantities 
in wreaths and other floral work. Dumosa differs from 
Incana Nana in having larger individual florets much brighter 
in color, clear silvery white when dry and lavender when 
fresh. The branched stalks are more than twice the size of 
Incana, the main stems twice as stout. For these reasons 
Dumosa is a highly valuable new variety. Height 20 in. 
Perfectly hardy without protection anywhere.
