GINAL SWISS GIANT PANSIES 
MIXED. 
Do not confuse this with the Swiss 
strain offered below which is several 
generations removed from the original. 
Seeds we offer here are direct from 
Mr. Roggli, the Swiss Originator of 
this world renowned strain. Since it 
was originally offered it has become 
the standard others attempt to attain, 
but the Roggli’s have continued to im- } 
prove it and it is still the finest to be § 
had in the world today. Huge flowers ; 
are produced on long erect stems. The 
color range is superb. There is a 
tendency toward the handsome deeper 
tones of red and blue, but it is well 
balanced with lighter yellows, whites, 
light blues. 60 seeds 25¢c; 300 seeds

GIANT 
PANSIES 
A PARK SPECIALTY 
Pansies are well and favorably known, 
so that a description of their exquisite 
ss beauty, and usefulness in the garden 
4 is unnecessary. They are simply indis- 
; pensable, and if we were to name a 
half dozen of our best seedling flow- 
ers, the Pansy would be one of them. 
There is, however, much difference in 
the strains, some being greatly supe- 
rior .n vigor and free-blooming qual- 
ity to other plants as well as the great 
size, form, variety, and richness of col- 
ors and variations. We are pleased to 
say that the seeds we offer are from 
Pansy specialists, all of the new crop, 
and cannot be surpassed in quality, 
regardless of claim or prize.
