NEW! RUFFLED RAINBOW 
Try Ruffled Rainbow—a pedigreed Pansy of absolute uni- 
formity, excellent color range and uniquely attractive, ruffled 
petals. A very fine, dwarf, uniform, brightly colored Pansy. 
There’s a “world of difference” between Pansy strains, both in 
quality and characteristics. For an “all-purpose” strain, we recom- 
mend Ball Giant Mixture. But if your trade can use mixtures with 
special and unusual characteristics which Pansy breeders have 
worked into their species, better check the list over thoroughly. 
New this year and strongly recommended is the richly colored 
ruffled-petaled strain, Ruffled Rainbow.
