R. fir*/. FARQUHAR dr. CO.'S SEED CATALOGUE.

Viola Tricolor!)

For many years choice Pansy Seeds have

been a specialty with us. By repeated per-

sonal visits we have made ourselves familiar

with the strains of the leading specialists in

the several countries of Europe, with whom

we contract yearly for seeds. We are thus

enabled to offer the finest in existence.

Pansies thrive best in a cool, moist but well drained soil,

enriched with well-rotted barn-yard manure or fine ground bone.

Seeds sown in Spring in a partially shaded situation will produce

fine plants for autumn flowering. The finest blooms are to be

obtained however by sowing in July or August, giving the

plants protection during winter, when they will bloom profusely

in the spring and summer.

FARQUHAR'S FINEST SHOW PANSIES. No. 5855. Packet of about 250 seeds, .50

No. 5860. Packet of over 100 seeds, .25

Daniel Roberts, Georgetown, Colo., writes Feb. 1, 1899 :

" The finest pansy bed that zuas ever seen in Colorado was in my garden last summer. Many people from

other states admired them and said they were the fifiest they ever saw. T have given away all of your old catalogues

and you are going to have some new customers this spring."
