Break's Rainbow Nasturtiums (Tro/tseolum). 
Many people are disappointed in the Nasturtiums they raise. A great variety of soft and pleasing colors were 
looked for, but only old hard reds and yellows were produced. This result is chiefly due to importing cheap seeds. 
The seed we offer is a selected strain and mixed in proper proportions so that our customers may be assured of 
having all the effective shades of pink, rose, scarlet, crimson, brick, claret, chocolate, brown, garnet, orange, primrose, 
yellow and white. Seed may be planted, one inch deep, early in April, where wanted to bloom or in any convenient 
place, and the plants when large enough transplanted to the beds, etc.

Pansy (Viola Tricolor). 
The Pansy is one of our specialties. For size and form of 
flowers, variety and brilliancy of colors and markings, there is 
nothing approaches those we offer. Breck’s Boston Brize is an 
American strain and is superior to any European mixture. The 
flowers are immensely large and wonderful in their coloring. 
The English and Scotch Prize Pansies are remarkably fine ; 
they are from the finest collections in these countries. 
Our Trimardeau Pansies embrace the cream of that type, and 
will give perfect satisfaction in every particular. 
Pansies repay good treatment in profusion and size and bright¬ 
ness of flower, as well as in large, handsome foliage. They delight 
in a cool, moist soil and a situation that protects them from cutting 
winds as well as the midday sun. To obtain large flowers early in 
spring, seed should be sown in July or August and the plants 
protected with a frame during winter. Spring sown seed does 
very well, although the flowers produced are not so large.
