ZVOLANEK’S GIANT CLIMBING PANSY 
After many years of painstaking work, Mr. Zvolanek has succeeded 
in producing this magnificent strain of Tree Pansy, which we consider 
the finest of its type. The plants grow to a height of 3 feet and produce 
immense blooms on stems 16 to 18 inches long. The colors are a pleasing 
blend of light and dark shades. This strain is very free flowering, making 
this ideal for winter forcing, when the blooms will command a high price. 
We offer the originator’s strictly new-crop seed. 
Trade pkt. (100 seeds) $1.75; $5.00 per 3 trade pkts.
