C. (Reeser, Seedsman and Florist, 
These Xew Superb Pansies which T 
offer are the result of the most careful 
attention and study for a long period of 
years, and were raised by a celebrated 
Pansy grower i.i Germany, who has de¬ 
voted his whole energies for many years 
to the ^improvement of this beautiful 
flower, from whom we import the seeds. 
U'hey have been brought as near perfec¬ 
tion as it is possible to bring them, as 
the endless variety and extremely rich, 
brilliant and charming shades of color 
will convince you—colors so brilliant 
that it was not thought possible a few 
years ago cotri-D be produced. The 
combinations of color in the same flower 
are exquisite and wonderful, and so del¬ 
icate that no description can convey any 
adecjuate idea of their beauty. There 
arc over forty varieties, striped, 
spotted, bordered and fringed in rain¬ 
bow colors, WITH RICH VELVETY TEX- 
TLkE. Some light yellow, with deep 
violet spots, the upper petals carmine, 
edged N» ith white ; yellow, with crimson 
maroon spots and blue rim ; white, with 
carmine spots and blue rims, deep blue,^ 
with j'ellow center edged black; violet 
with white center and carmine edges; 
brown and golden bronze, jet black; 
ultra-marine blue, pure white, intense 
, yellow, etc. Py means of the most 
careful selection and treatment, the fin¬ 
est and newest sorts are produced, and 
consequently of extraordinary perfec¬ 
tion. Per packet, 25 cents. 
l>y taking advantage of our liberal 
discounts you can get six packets of the 
above for only $1.00. 
THE BLACK PRINCE PANSY. 
I take pleasure in offering the Black 
Princess, a distinct new Pansy of ster¬ 
ling merit. The flowers are considerably 
argerinsize than King of the Blacks, 
are of much greater substance and quite 
distinct in color. The rich glossy black 
has a peculiarly soft, velvety appearance 
hitherto unknown; the magnificent large 
n<jwers are of fine circular form and 
carried upright well above the foliage. 
The plants are of very compact, bushy 
habit, and flower so profusely that a bed 
• 'flhe Black Prince makes a sight not often equaled. l*er pkt. 10 cts.; 6 pkts. for 50 
NEW SUPEKIJ PANSIES. 
RED RIDING HOOD PANSY. 
TRIMARDEAU. 
An entirely new and distinct variety. The plants are of a very strong, compact 
liabit; the flowejs of immense size and splendid shape, and stand well above the foH- 
liige, each flower distinctly marked witli three large blotches. The seed we offer of 
this spendid novelty was saved from none but well formed flowers of the richest and 
most varied colors, and is sure to give the best of satisfaction. Pet. 10 cts.; 6 pkts. 50 
cts.; 12 pkts. for $1.00. 
This is also an entirely new color of the Imperial German strain. The flowers are of 
good size, fine circular form, and of the most brilliant solid red color we have ever 
seen in Pansies. A charming novelty. Per pkt. 10 cts.; 6 pkts. 50 cts. 
IMPROVED STRIPED. 
A fine, new class, producing large, perfectly formed flowersof the most brilliant and 
exquisite tints of coloring—each flower being handsomely striped. This new strain is 
an improvement on the Belgian or any other striped varieties. 10 cts., 6 for 50c.
