FINER PANSY SEED 
GIANT SWISS. This famous Swiss type of pansy is round 
in form and open faced, with a definite blotch. Our re- 
selected strain has an unusually wide variation of clear 
brilliant colors, including pink and rose shades not always 
found in this type. Its range also includes yellow, orange, 
henna, flame, carmine, fuchsia and blue. Under proper 
culture, the blossoms are from 3 to 4 inches in diameter, 
and the plants are very compact. 
JUMBO. This earliest and largest of the hybrid pansies, 
has many rayed centers and is often two-toned and ruf- 
fled. It contains exquisite lavender and orchid pastels, 
striking bronze-gold tones and unbelievably beautiful yel- 
lows, purples and maroons. In our plantings, blooms mea- 
suring 4 inches and over are often found. 
HYBRID BLEND. In addition to the interesting colors of the 
Jumbo, this mixture includes gorgeous shades of velvety 
red, copper, and delicate pastel tones in pink, peach, apri- 
cot and rose. It is made up for those who are interested in 
exceptionally large blossoms and the unusual in color. 
Be sure to allow ample time for germination of either Clarke Blend or 
Hybrid Blend, for each of these mixtures is composed of several strains, 
which will vary a little, both in time required for germination, and de- 
velopment of seedlings. 

It is our experience that the stronger colors, such as yellow and purple, 
develop their seedlings faster than the more delicate pastel tones. There- 
fore, when transplanting, take both small and large seedlings. 
Any one of the above four varieties. pkt. $1.25; three pkts. 
$3.50: half pkt. 75c; three half pkts. $2.00. 
SEPARATE COLORS 
The blooms of the four separate colors listed below are 
always ai little smaller than the blossoms of either the 
mixed or the Hybrid types, but the mass planting of these 
separate colors, in either beds or borders, produces a gar- 
den effect which can be accomplished in no other way. 
CORONATION GOLD is the largest and best pure yellow 
Swiss Pansy and is definitely fragrant. It is a charming 
ground cover for blue Scillas or Hyacinths; for red or 
white Tulips; or for the many red or copper-toned Azaleas. 
IMPROVED FIREBEACON. This is a coppery red Swiss 
pansy—the red of the wallflower rather than a purple red 
—amnd often has a definite touch of orange. It is very rich, 
and at the same time a most unique and striking shade. 
Is very effective when planted with yellow flowered bulbs, 
Wallflowers, Marigolds, yellow-bronze Chrysanthemums, 
or yellow-bronze Iris. 
MONT BLANC. Floriferous, with large early blossoms. It 
is the finest, largest, pure: white Pansy. A most pleasing 
combination with magenta or red Azaleas, pink or red 
Tulips, or yellow Daffodils, blue Hyacinths, blue Iris, pink 
Zinnias, Delphinium. 
ULLSWATER. A deep ultramarine blue Swiss Pansy. 
Should be planted in acid.soil to hold its true color. It is a 
stunning contrast when used with yellow or pink flowered 
bulbs. 
Any one of the above four separate colors, pkt. $1.00; 
three pkts. $2.50; half pkt. 50c; three half pkts. $1.25
