...Moore & Simon's Grand Pansies.. A universal favorite with young and old. Every child sees the face in the pansy, and, aside from its great beauty, we will treasure it as the eymbol of modest worth and true affection. The smallest yard must have its Pansies. Not poor, forlorn plants struggling unaidf d with heat and drouth and hard-baked ground, though even there yielding us handfuls of cheery bloom; but, rather, strong, vigorous plants, rioting in the cool, deep mellow beds they love, made rich with fertilizers, kept free from weeds acd shaded from the hot afternoon sun. In such a bed one may gather great velvety Pansies by the hundreds—flowers so radiantly beautiful that they scarcely seem cf the earth. Although the Pansy loves coolness, and gives its largest, finest blooms in early spring and late autumn, they are so easy to grow that those living in the South can grow superb ones by giving rich bed, sheltered location, and abundant water. Do not let the plants seed if you wish to keep them in bloom freely all the time. New Qiant

Packets " 1645 Sweet Scented Pansies This new type is a cross between the Pansy and the V olet, combining the ideal properties of each. The flowers are much larger than the Violet, more like Pansies, but with the delicious fragrance of the former. The flowers are also quite free from central rays and markings, and the habit of the plant is decidedly dwarf and compact, producing its flowers on long footstalks, and they appear continually from early spring until late fall. The plants possess to a consider- able extent the hardy and robust nature of the Violet, and make splendid pot as well as garden pi nts. The range of color runs through white buff canary and azute blue, and the coloring of each is exceedingly delicate and charming. A most important novelty, and one in which all admirers of the Pansy, and Violet will be especially delighted. Our strain is wondcrfnlly improved "ver that wc previously sold.
