OUK STRAIN OF PANSY AMERICA is an unbeatable strain. 
Do not overlook that we say OUR STRAIN OF AMERICA. 
Since we introduced Pansy America many other growers 
started plantation for seed production. Comparing these 
strains our strain will be found far ahead in range of colors 
and what is of immense importance our seed will be found 
producing round, compact, neat plants of dwarf growth, the 
blooms carried on rather short stout stalks placed just above 
the foliage and so arranged as to produce the effect of an 
artistically arranged boquet. This dwarf compact habit of 
the plants and the fact that the petals of the flowers are flat, 
not fluted or otherwise distorted, makes our strain way su¬ 
perior. If you want to avoid plants that grow tall, produc¬ 
ing bloom on long spindly stalks, plants that the wind whips 
back and forth and sometimes breaks the plants, causing 
them to die, you want the compact growing America, the or¬ 
iginal strain as introduced by us.

A FINE LAWN 
six weeks after seeding can be had by using our Special Lawn Grass 
Mixture. You can buy lawn grass mixtures for half the price we 
ask, which fact is well known to us. We also know that this low 
priced mixture frequently contains an Incredible amount of weed 
seeds and other matter that it should not contain. 
We would lower our prices with pleasure, if we could get high 
grade seeds that we use, at low prices. We do not and never will 
send out low grade seed in order to meet low prices of others. 
To completely satisfy you, to create and maintain a feeling that 
prompts you to recommend our seeds with a happy smile, is not an 
easy task and impossible to accomplish when sending out dead seeds, 
chaff, weeds, and dust mixed together and call it lawn grass seed.
