When Swiss Roggli Pansies were introduced we thought the acme of size, color and variega- 
tion in Pansies had been reached. They are indeed wonderful. 
developed by Sluis Brothers in Holland that surpasses everything hitherto known in Pansies. 
The flowers are not only Giants but Super-giants, their size being enormous—larger than all 
others, and what is more, they include a range of colors and variegations that have never been 
approached in giant Pansies. Messrs. Sluis have grown the seeds for us from special re- 
selected plants and flowers. Our seeds, can therefore, be absolutely relied upon to yield the 
finest—the very finest—Pansies in the world without any exception.

PANSIES 
A PARK SPECIALTY 
Parsies are well and favorably. known, 
so that a description of their exquisite 
beauty, and usefulness in the garden is 
unnecessary. They are simply indis- 
pensable, and if we were to name a half 
dozen of our best seedling flowers, the 
Pansy would be one of them. There is, 
however, much difference in the strains, 
some being greatly superior in vigor 
and free-blooming quality to other 
plants as well as the great size, form, 
variety, and richness of colors and var- 
iations. We are pleased to say that 
the seeds we offer are from Pansy spec- 
ialists, all of the new crop, and cannot 
be surpassed in quality, regardless of 
claim or price. 
PANSY CULTURE 
This is treated fully in ‘“The Gardener’s 
Handbook” which is sent free with every 
Z order. (hhp. Treated as annual.) 
Seed may be sown inside in late winter 
and transplanted as soon as the ground 
may be worked for spring and early 
summer bloom. Sow in June for autumn 
transplanting; Sow in August for very 
early spring transplanting and bloom. 
August sown seeds are best left in the 
propagating boxes for protection dur- 
ing winter. 
Pansies like a cool, moist, rich sandy 
loam. If located properly and the flow- 
ers are kept picked, they will bloom 
from early spring until frost. 
SWEET SCENTED PANSIES
