Improved Super Strain. “The World’s Fin-

This is without doubt the last word in Pansies. 
Extra long stem, capped with flowers of enor- 
mous size and gorgeous ecolors—ineluding the 
real deep maroon, dark crimson, etc.; in fact 
every color in the rainbow. 
In my trials the past summer, both on the 
farm and at home, Swiss Giant excelled any- 
thing that I have ever seen either in size of 
bloom, length of stem, varied markings or { 
distinctive colors as well as continually bloom- 
ing from early spring until latter part of No- 
vember. Seed may be sown out of doors in 
April and will bloom in July, but larger flow- 
ers develop from the second setting of blooms.

Mixture of the World’s Finest Pansies 
There is a vast difference in Pansy Seed. I know of no 
other flower in which quality of the strain is of such vast 
importance as in Pansies. I have specialized on Pansies 
for many years and believe that this Mixture represents 
the largest flowered varieties and the finest array of 
colors (with varied markings) of any obtainable at the 
present time. Many of the blooms are most beautifully 
blotched. The flower is heavy, thick and velvety with a 
waxy appearance, and crinkled at the edges. Blooms
