Our Superb I S OF THIS POPULAR FLOWER. Pansy plants planted in the spring as soon as the frost is out of the ground, will begin to bloom at once, and afford daily pleasure for a month before coleus or geraniums could be even planted. If snow should fall after planting they would not be hurt. In fact, to get the best results from pansies, they should be planted just as early as they can be. To get best results and extra large flowers, the soil must be extremely rich—we use equal parts well rotted manure and soil. Pansies have been one of our specialties for a number of years. The combination of colors in the same flowers is exquisite and wonderful, and yet so delicate that no description can convey an adequate idea of their beauty, embracing so many varieties—striped, spotted, bordered and fringed ; in rainbow colors, with rich, velvety text- ures ; some light yellow with deep violet spots, the upper petals carmine, edged with white ; 3'ellow with crimson maroon spots and blue rims ; deep blue with yellow center, edged black ; violet with white center and carmine edges ; brown and golden bronze ; jet black; ultramarine blue ; pure white ; intense yellow.
