Pansies 
PANSY 
(Viola Tricolor) 
The Pansy is one of our specialties. For size 
and form of flowers, variety and brilliancy 
of colors and markings, nothing approaches 
it. Breck’s Boston Prize is imported by us 
from the most experienced growers. The 
flowers are large, wonderful in their color¬ 
ing, and unsurpassed by any other mixture. 
The English and Scotch Prize Pansies are re¬ 
markably 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 very particular. 
Pansies 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 pro¬ 
tected with a frame during winter. Spring 
sown seed does very well, although the flow¬ 
ers produced are not so large. Oz. Pkt.
