“FINEST ALL 
‘ROUND STRAIN 
IN TRIALS.” 
—from our 1950 
Flowering Trial 
Reports. 
Repeated observation of 
this strain in our flower- 
ing trials has indicated 
its clear superiority. While 
not quite as early bloom- 
ing as some domestic 
strains, Roggli Pansies 
have a depth and rich- 
ness of color, huge flow- 
er size and dwarf, yet 
vigorous habit which 
make them stand apart 
from other Pansies. Note 
the large, deep blotches 
which are characteristic 
of this strain.
