35 ORNITHOCALUM TENDER MIXED 
Here are beautiful,^ and rather easy, bulb-flowers, kinds 
suited for pot growing in any winter window, for the 
conservatory, or for the commercial florist. The blos¬ 
soms are carried in clusters on tall stems, and last long, 
not only on the growing bulb, but also when cut. They 
will, perhaps, hold longer in good decorative condition than 
will any other cut flower, opening up well to the last bud 
in the cluster. Colorings vary from pure white, to milk 
white, cream, lemon, gold and orange. Flower stems are 
of good length 12 to 24 inches. Seedlings will usually 
bloom within the year. Illustrated, page 66. Pkt. 15c; 1/32 
oz. 40c.

PANSY 
Averaging this and that together, we are pretty apt to 
find life giving us about what we pay for, and never is 
that truer than in the buying of Pansy seeds. Variety 
names in Pansies count for but little, it is the amount of 
selection work, and the results of that work as shown in 
the flowering of the individual strain that we should pay 
for, and those are precisely the points upon which the re¬ 
liable grower bases his price. It works almost automati¬ 
cally, the larger the Pansy-bloom, the fewer the seeds 
that are yielded. We offer values here that are fair, both 
to you and to us. 
NEW BABY PANSY—A daintiness of delight. The plants 
are of crowded bushy compactness, loaded with round, 
baby-size blossoms in all the gaiety and richness of color¬ 
ings that Pansy can bring. An entire plant will scarce 
reach five inches up or eight across, no straggling, waving 
sprawliness here; an edging of it will be surprise in gentle 
beauty. It is altogether, the finest selection of small-flow¬ 
ered or bedding Pansy that we have ever seen or grown, 
this through its three-line excellencies; (1), its great 
and long floriferousness, spring, summer, fall, with bonus 
during any few mild days of winter; (2), the low and 
mound-like plant habit, blossoms carried well above; (3), 
the wide range of pure hue and clean contrast. Pkt. 15c; 
oz. 50c ; Ys oz. 90c. 
PANSY CORONATION GOLD—Round, lightly ruffled blos- 
some three inches across, spicily sweet, canary yellow above, 
but lower petals with flush of golden orange. So long in 
the stem that they cut well. Pkt. 25c. 
PANSY LAKE OP THUN—Splendid Giant Swiss Pansy, 
with blossoms of ultramarine blue, deepening to a dark 
intensity toward the center. Pkt. 25c. 
PANSY ALPENGLOW—Blossoms of brilliant red-garnet, 
with cardinal lights, darkening toward rich velvet-maroon 
at the center. Pkt. 25c.

ture of large-flowered Pansies for mass effects. Wide range 
of colorings. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 30c; % oz. 50c.

size, carried on sturdy plants. Deep, rich, unusual shades, 
reds, salmon-rose, purple velvets and the like, along witb 
contrasting, vivid blotchings. Pkt. 25c; is oz. 75c; % oz. 
$1.25. 
PANSY TRIUMPHANT—Here, if you grow it well, you 
will reach the ultimate in Pansy size; nothing beyond. The 
enormous blossoms are round in form, with broad, thick 
petals that so overlap as to make the flowers seem almost 
double, an effect enhanced by the curled and undulate mar¬ 
gins. The colors are brilliant and varied, running mostly 
to richer tones, and usually with a contrasting spot on each 
petal. Vigorous plants, robustly stemmed. Here are Pansy 
aristocrats. Pkt. 50c; 1/32 oz. 75c; is oz. $1.35; % oz. 
$2.50.
