PANsIES.

The kind that everybody bought few years
ago, because they were SO hardy. All of
sudden they disappeared, and people took
what Pansies they could find. A few have
been grown this season, and we are the first

flower is little more brilliant than the
ordinary pansies boast of and their hardness
makes them particularly desirable for this
climate.
