brown shades. Pkt. 35c; Lg. Pkt. 65c; 4% Oz. $2.25. 
Dwarf Swiss Giants

PANSIES 
The Flower Everyone Knows and Loves 
There is a vast difference between ordinary pansies and the strains 
we offer. Let our customers tell you what they think of them. 
“My Swiss pansy mixture I purchased from you last year proved to be 
the most beautiful flowers I have ever had. The colors and size of blossoms 
are wonderful.” Mrs. H. A. Turner, Reading, Mass. 6/9/45 
“T raised some of your Maple Leaf Giant pansies this year and everyone 
told me they were the finest pansies they ever saw. Thanks to Harris for 
good seed.” Mr. Douglas Keefe, Peekskill, N. Y. 6/25/45 
“My Swiss Giant Pansies were beautiful—so large and such a gorgeous 
variety. I think every seed germinated. I gave many dozen plants away from 
one package of seed and still have some to plant besides a big bed of pansies 
for this year.” Mr. Claude S. Haynes, Arkville, N. Y. 2/1/45 
“For the past two years I have had the Giant Swiss Pansies and have 
never seen such beautiful ones. They have been displayed in one of our stores 
and nearly everyone remarked on the size and beauty. I have a half package 
in one bed now and the first picking I had nearly 200 blossoms.” 
Mrs. C. C. Vrooman, Greene, N. Y. 5/21/42 
Seed planted in early spring will produce fall blooming plants, 
some of which may be cut back and will winter over. For early spring 
flowers, sow the seed in a cool moist place in July and August. 
During the last few years we have missed the mass plantings of these 
gay flowers that give such a “‘well dressed look”’ to spring gardens. Noth- 
ing can compare with them in richness of color or their long period of 
bloom. 
3735—White Swiss. Large, pure, creamy white flowers on very compact 
plants. In our field they continued to bloom all summer and the plants 
remained very compact. Pkt. 40c; Lg. Pkt. 75c. 
3737—Coronation Gold. A large warm yellow pansy with no blotches. 
Beautiful when planted alone or with other colors. 
Pkt. 40c; Lg. Pkt. 75c. 
3738—Blue Swiss (Ullswater). A new color of unusual beauty and 
delicacy. They are a clear, rich blue with blue-black blotches. The low, 
compact plants are in full bloom from May until November and the 
plants are never long or floppy. Pkt. 40c; Lg. Pkt. 75c. 
3739—Red Swiss. Large rich glowing reddish mahogany. 
Pkt. 40c; Lg. Pkt. 75c. 
Viola or Tufted Panties 
Although not so large as pansies they bloom more profusely and over 
a longer period. Planted in clumps they brighten perennial borders in 
spring. If sheared in mid-summer they make new compact growth and 
masses of bloom in the fall. If given a light protection of straw or ever- 
green boughs, a Thanksgiving cutting is possible. Blooms the first year 
if seed is sown in early spring. 
3760—Mixed Colors. Our mixture contains yellows, white, lilac, violet 
and two-color combinations. 
Pkt. 25c; Lg. Pkt. 45c; 4% Oz. $1.00. 
3762—Chantreyland. Rich apricot-orange centers shading to 
orange at the edge of petals. One of the showiest. 
Pkt. 30c; Lg. Pkt. 55c; % Oz. $1.10.
