PANSY 
A.B. C. "De Luxe" Fancy Colored, Large 
Flowered Mixture 
(Our Exclusive Introduction) 
PANSY 
A. B. C. "De Luxe" Mixture 
Will satisfy your critical trade both as to size and variation of 
coloring. Truly the "last word" in Pansy mixtures, and is our 
exclusive strain. 
A superb strain of fancy Pansies of the largest size and the 
richest and most varied colors. New crop contains several 
shades of beautiful reds. 
The seed is hand-picked from personally selected plants and 
will germinate 100 per cent. Very robust, stocky plants, having 
a wonderful root system that will not heave. The result of many 
years' selection, this is unquestionably the world's finest strain 
of fancy Pansies, and will bloom two weeks earlier than any 
other 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 improve on "A. B. C. De Luxe. 
This exceptional mixture is highly recommended for cut flowers, 
likewise for spring plant sales. Numerous growers have told 
us that "De Luxe" Pansy plants in flower virtually sell them¬ 
selves and command a premium over stock produced from 
other so-called "fancy" mixtures. You will, we are quite sure, 
make no mistake in confining your Pansy cultures to A. B. C. 
"De Luxe" Mixed.
