PANSY PARK PERFECTION PANSIES. largest in size—Most perfect in form—Greatest variety of rich and raiv Perfection is the word that best expresses the superior qualities of this magnificent strain of Tansies, for it is per- fection in the size and form of blooms, while no other con- tains such a great variety of rich and rare colors. The seeds have been saved with the greatest care from the very linest, largest flowers of the German and French types, many of which were of gigan- tic size, measuring from three to four inches in diameter. It coiitains every color, shade and tint known in the Pansy, and many unique combina- tions not before seen. They are of the most perfect form, with thick, velvety petals, some elegantly veined with maroon on white, bluish or reddish ground. I have made a specialty of Pansy culture for twenty years, and having tested all the strains offered during that time, including all the new strains and mixtures so extensively advertised dur- ing the past few years, I know that Pansy Park Perfection is the peer of them all, and I offer it feeling confident that it will give the greatest satis- faction to all lovers of choice Pansies. These Pansies were first introduced in my 18fl6 Catalog in which I also offered $ in eight prizes for largest pressed flowers sent before Nov. 15th. It created a great deal of interest and much competition. The first prize was won by Amelia Pitcher, Yolo, Cal., with a bloom measuring three and one-fourth inches in diameter, a trifle larger than the above engraving. The other prizes were won by blooms almost as large grown in Maine, New York, Iowa and Montana. These were very large for flowers grown in summer and early fall. As is well known the very largest flowers can be grown only in spring on plants kept over winter. Per packet, 25 cents; t
