WHY NOT JUMBOS? 
Never in our forty years as pansy specialists have we ever 
seen a strain of Mastodon pansies “go over” like Jumbo 
mixed. 
First of all Jumbo is a very early bloomer, and any whole- 
sale grower knows that getting into the market ahead oi 
strong competition “brings home the bacon.” In fact the only 
way to make real money out of blooming pansy plants is to 
be a few jumps ahead of the selling rush that is bound to 
come before the spring season is over. 
Four inch blooms and larger are not uncommon in our seed 
fields of Jumbo. A most unusual feature is the wide range of 
vivid colors mostly all absolutely unique to big pansies—no 
washed out shades which you all know are a “flop” when 
your customers see them. Keep away from washed out 
shades of pansies. It’s a wide range of colors, and a riot of 
colors in your baskets, flats, and gardens that makes your 
cash register ring the bell. By the way, what do you know 
about three tone pansies? 
We also highly recommend our Super Maple Leai Mixed 
and our Super Swiss “400” mixed. They are grand strains. 
I{ my ideas about marketing pansies agree with yours let 
us have the pleasure of serving you with some Jumbo pansy 
seed and don’t forget that our strains are all grown to suit a 
high class American trade, and also that all our finest pansies 
are to be found in our mixtures. 
It is a pleasure for me to say that almost fifty years of 
exclusive cultivation of pansies does not mean that there is 
nothing more for me to learn about pansies. On the contrary, 
they are a constant study. 
Therefore, your counsel will be of value, or your questions 
answered cheerfully. if within my power.
