PANSY FELIX 
This distinctive Pansy is really the 
“cat’s whiskers’—hence the name 
“Felix”, suggested by the prominent 
dark veining in every flower. Uni- 
formly true to this type, with well 
ruffled flowers of good size carried 
on fairly dwarf plants. Colors are 
rich and unusual—including purple, 
apricot and wine shades together 
with pastel bronzes and smoky tones 
difficult to describe. Each flower is 
marked with the dark “whiskers” 
characteristic of this strain, and the 
over-all effect is indeed striking. We 
are exclusive distributors for this ex- 
cellent Pansy. Tr. pkt., $1.00; 
¥ oz., $3.00; % oz., $5.00; 1 oz., 
$15.00. Available August on.

VIBRA - SEEDER 
So simple, yet so practical! Even the finest of seeds can be spaced with complete ac- 
curacy. After a little experience or practice, it is very possible to greatly reduce the 
quantity needed by eliminating loss thru “bunching.” NO necessity of changing parts 
to adapt the seeder to a special type or size of seed—equally good on all sizes and 
shapes. We use this seeder extensively in our own seed sowing operations. Price 
each, $1.95.
