1076. ENGELMANN’S GIANTS. H. H. P. Of all the strains of 
Pansies on the market today, we believe that Mr, Carl Engelmann of 
England has produced the very finest strain of all. Mr. Engelmann 
has won outstanding awards and medals at the great spring show 
at Chelsea each year on his strains of Pansies. The seed that we 
offer is imported from the originator, This strain is a very vigorous 
growing, compact and early flowering type, and contains a great 
variety of shades both dark and light, all of the blotched type 
with very huge, well formed blossoms. The blend of colors is too 
difficult to describe in -words and we refer you to the illustration 
shown at left. We highly recommend this strain of Pansies. Start 
seed indoors in flats early in February for early spring blooms,
