Alneer’s Prize Collection Pansies. 
Shake speare’s Pansies 
These are the simple, quaint, little Pansies of Shakespeare’s 
time, and are suitable for any location in the garden. They 
can be very easily grown wherever Pansies are successful 
and are most ideal for the old fashioned garden, the rock- 
garden, or that shady location in the border. The habit of 
growth is similar to Violas, and they flower continually 
throughout the season. The flowers range through purples, 
yellows, blues, and whites, and are delightfully fragrant.
