This mixture is the result of many years' selection from the world's finest 
strains. The seed is hand-picked from personally selected plants and will 
germinate 100%. We are constantly searching for varieties to improve this 
mixture, but we have been unable to improve on A. B. C. "De Luxe," which 
justifies us to call this unquestionably the world's finest strain of fancy 
Pansies. We highly recommend it for cut flowers as well as spring plant 
sales. Growers tell us that A. B. C. "De Luxe" Pansy plants easily com¬ 
mand a premium over stock produced from other so-called fancy mixtures. 
This superb strain of Pansies is of largest size, richest and most varied 
colors, and contains several shades of beautiful reds. You will make no 
mistake confining your Pansy cultures to this outstanding mixture.

DON’S GIANT WINTER-FLOWERING 
Mixture. One of the most important horticultural introductions of recent 
years. Plants grow 2 V 2 to 3V2 feet high, with six to eight strong upright 
stems bearing numerous good sized blooms on flower stems 10 to 12 
inches long. 
Seed should be sown under glass, and the plants benched in the green¬ 
house. Set the plants 12 inches apart in the bench and support in the 
same manner as Carnations. They may also be grown in 6-inch pots sunk 
in the bench if desired. 
The color range is excellent, and if the blooms are kept cut as they mature 
the flowering period will continue from December well on into the spring.

In ike event you have overlooked providing sufficient 
pansies for spring sales, a sowing can be made to good 
advantage in January. Sow in flats and carry in a car¬ 
nation bouse temperature until seedlings are ready to 
transplant, wbicb should also be done in flats and set 
in a cold bouse; later moved out to protected frames.
