SALZER’S FROST PROOF 
PANSIES 
Biennial. Salzer’s Frost Proof Pansies are what their 
name implies; they successfully winter through the severe 
climate of this north country and bloom long after frost. 
For a number of years Frost Proof Pansies at our Cliffwood 
Farm have delightfully sui-prised us with the number of 
beautiful blossoms we pick during the cold months. 
The flowers themselves are very large, often measuring 
3 inches across, and are produced in a beautiful variance of 
colors from deepest black to snow white. Miss Essye E. 
Turner, Box 188, Crestview, Fla., writes, “La.st winter I 
grew some of yonr Pnnsie.s that were five inches in diam¬ 
eter.” Mrs. C. F. Peterson, R. D. 2, Ellendale, Minn., writes, 
“I ]>lante<l some of your Pansies and never before had such 
loA-ely Pansies.” Mrs. George H. Clark, R. D. 8, Box 130, 
Yakima, Wash., writes, “I have gorgeous Pansies from your 
see<l.” 
We are able to give you varieties in straight colors as 
listed, or straight blended Cliffwood mixture in all colors 
of bronze, blue, mahogany, yellow, mauve, black, etc.

SHAKESPEARE PANSY 
Four years ago a little stray 
Pansy was discovered in our grow¬ 
ings, that was so simple, quaint, and 
sweet, that we saved it for seed. 
It is in no sense a large florist 
Pansy, but is of the quaint, unique 
type of the Pansies of Shakespeare’s 
time, described in the book “Flowers 
from Stratford on Avon.” It is al¬ 
most identical with the original va¬ 
riety of Pansy, prettily marked, 
with many petals reflexed, charming 
and different. Mixed colors. 2283—
