Dear Friends: 
It is our belief that American gardeners are looking for 
flowers of distinction and are willing to pay the cost of the 
creative and technical skill necessary to produce new and 
better strains. 
More than fifty years of experience are behind our efforts. 
During that period the pansy has come out of the kitchen 
earden to become the featured attraction of famous parks 
and eardens throughout the civilized world. We believe 
that we have been instrumental in raising the status of the 
pansy to the top rank of favorites among flower lovers. 
With pansies increasing in popularity in every city and 
village of our nation, we find that a drastic change in our 
production program is necessary. Our first step is to elimi- 

AHONDRUEEOUUGGUUOEDOONOUOEOELODEASUAEDCGSOUGUAEOUONOGG ff GUUDODOSENOUGEOOUECOUNOOOROODOUOULOOOOOLOLOUSUOOAOAUAE 
nate those mixtures which ean be replaced by inereased 
production of our three specialties. At the insistenee of 
customers, who want us to develop these high quality strains 
which we alone can maintain, we intend to coneentrate on 
Jumbo mixed, Super Swiss “400” mixed, and Butterfly 
Hybrids, a combination that we believe will contribute most 
to the improvement of pansy culture throughout the world. 
Owing to shortage of labor and crop during last year it 
will again be necessary for us to limit quantities. We refuse 
to compromise quality in order to produce more seed but you 
will find germination so high that our prices will be lower 
than most pansy seed. We feel assured that growers will 
exercise utmost care in germination so that they may realize 
a full return for thei investment of time, money and labor. 

These Prices Will Replace All Other Price Lists

SWISS 
Sea Blue—A genuine blue pansy with darker blotch. Very 
uniform in color and one of our best separate colors for 
size and substance. Exceptional for color contrast and 
merits our recommendation. 
Gorgeous Red—The reddest pansy we have ever produced 
with deeper red bloteh. Not quite as brilliant as Irene. 
We have never been able to produce enough of this strain 
to fill orders as it requires heavy rogueing all season and is 
a shy seeder. 
Super Swiss ‘400’ Mixed—A strain of the finest known 
Swiss types grown in a perfectly balanced mixture and 
containing more fine reds, golden yellows, rose and fuchsia 
shades, three-tone color effects, blues, violets, and every 
shade in between, all beautifully blotched and bordered in 
contrasting hues.
