TYPE OF AMERICA PANSY 
The flowers are well rounded, petals thick and velvety, 
piants dwarf and compact, a combination hard to beat. 
PANSY AMERICA 
World’s Best Pansy 
Best of all because its colors are brighter and more var- 
ied than those of other pansies, its petals are thick and vel- 
vety, the flowers do not curl up and do not look wilted and 
sick as do many fluted large flowered thin petaled pansies. 
The plants are of compact and dwarf growth, the blooms are 
carried on short and stiff stems. In a word Pansy America 
is so very superior that anybody at a glance can see that 
Pansy America is THE PANSY It is only a few years ago 
that we introduced Pansy America. Today every seedman 
of importance is listing it. A proof that America is way 
ahead of other pansies. 
America Pansy has flowers of great size. In our trials 
we find that other strains of pansies come close in size to 
our America and some have even just as big flowers as our 
America. But the immense size in other pansies is of little 
value for the reason that, not possessing the thick, velvety, 
very substantial petals of America the flowers of these large 
flowered strains curl up or partly close at the first approach 
of hot weather. All pansies that we tried so far( we have 
tried a great many strains) grow tall, the plants become 
“leggy” the wind whips the plants back and forth, the bloom 
is carried on tall spindly stalks and none can compare with 
our Pansy America. Pansy America is an early blooming 
pansy. It beats in earliness other strains of pansies from two 
to fully four weeks. 
. We are paying much attention to our plantations of 
America Pansy, in order to have superior seed. We are sure 
that the brightest colored, the largest and wide open flowers 
on short, compact plants will result only by using our strain 
of America. T. pkt. 30c; vs oz. 60c; % oz. $1.10; oz. $8.00;

We are recommending our Pansy America very strongly. 
This we do because we are absoluely sure that no one, that 
will try, will be anywhere near disappointed. Pansy America 
cannot be over-praised. It is as near perfection as anything 
on this earth can be. You are welcome to a packet contain- 
ing about 500 seeds absolutely free for the asking so that 
you can try our strain of A. P. at our expense. Give our 
Pansy a trial. This done we assure you that Pansy America 
will be the only Pansy that you will care to grow. This 
whether you grow pansies for bedding purposes or in the 
greenhouses for cut flowers. Ask for a free sample. 
PANSY AMERICA—Was introduced by us several years ago 
and proved to be the best of all large flowering pansies. Now 
there are on the market several strains. If you will grow 
plants from our seed and also from seed not from us, you 
will find our strain the best. We try new strains every year. 
None can compare with our America.
