PANSIES and VIOLAS 
s 
In Pansies, as with other 
lines, we are continually 
testing and comparing varie¬ 
ties, and we believe that our 
Giant Exhibition and Garden 
Strains are unexcelled for 
size, colouring and mark¬ 
ings, and are equal to the 
best and most highly bred 
that can be obtained any¬ 
where in the world. It 
should be understood the 
choicer strains or Pansies 
have not so much natural 
vigour, and both the raising 
of seed and the care of the 
plants require more than 
ordinary attention.

tion to the Giant Winter 
Flowering types (Hymalis) 
listed under “Violas.” 
VIOLAS 
These are now one of the 
fashionable bedding plants, 
and every keen gardener 
will w’ant to share in the 
pleasure and brightness they 
provide. This is a very hardy 
class, and remarkably free- 
flowering and long-lasting. 
The flowering season Is 
longer than any of the 
Pansies, thus for bedding 
and border work they are 
of great value in our 
climate. 
GIANT 
WINTER-FLOWERING 
This type are very precoci¬ 
ous bloomers, and the flow¬ 
ers are more of the Pansy 
shape, and, besides making 
a bright garden show for six 
to nine months, are quite 
suitable for posies.
