/£ 0" 33 Call L VAUGHAN'S INTERNA- TIONAL PANSIES Vaughan's International Pansy Mixture was first offered by us in 1889. We import from all the best European sources. Each year has added to th<- quality of its flowers and variety of its colors. We buy every year, novelties of known merit to improve the mix- ture; it is always complete, always the latest and always the best mixture. We add to all Pansy Mixtures which we now buy, more than 50 per cent of the choicest named kinds obtainable1, each in correct proportion. This is one of the Specialties that has estab- lished the reputation of Vaughan's Flower Seeds, and one which we main- tain most carefully. Trade pkt., 50c; Ys oz., $1.50; lA oz., $5.00; oz., $10.00. Vaughan's Giant Pansy Mixture Embraces, besides all the separate shades and colors, five special strains not listed elsewhere, and which can only be had in this and our Inter- national Mixture. This mixture in- cludes the richest reds, coppers and bronzes, together with the most delicate rose and pink shadings, all the distinct colors of Trimardeau and the splendid, Cassier strain. Trade pkt., 50c; Ys oz., 75c; oz., $5.00; Yt, lb., $18.00. Vaughan's Cut Flower Mixture This mixture is put up by ourselves and contains mostly light colored sorts. We have sold this mixture for several seasons to some of our Chicago cut- flower growers, who have realized big returns from the sale of flowers. Pansies are as easily grown as violets, require ess care and bring better results. Trade pkt., 25c; Ys oz., 60c; oz., $4.00. New Early - Flowering Giant Pansies The new strain produces its giant flowers about four weeks earlier than other known types. In March, when the old type pansies hardly show any buds the plants of the new strain bore from 3 to 5 of their giant flowers.

While the flowers of this strain do not grow as large as those of the Giant Pansies, they excel them bv a much greater number of flowers to a plant. Trade Pkt., 25c; \i oz., 50c; oz., $1.80.
