A. B. C. “DE LUXE” MIXTURE 
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 command a premium over stock pro¬ 
duced from other so-called fancy mixtures. This superb strain of 
Pansies is of largest size, richest and most varied colors, and con¬ 
tains several shades of beautiful reds. You will make no mistake 
confining your Pansy cultures to this outstanding mixture.

tish show type; immense flowers in bronze

Engleman's Giant Mixture. Contains a better

fine strain noted for its immense size blooms; 
however, we believe that A. B. C. "De Luxe"

PANSIES (Continued) 
DON’S GIANT W INTER-FLOWERING 
Mixture. One of the most important horticultural introductions of recent 
years. Plants grow 2Vi to 3 Vi 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.
