Pansy Engelmann' s Giant Mixture

BODGER SEEDS, Ltd.

SEED GROWERS (JVholcsale Only)

CALIFORNIA’S CHOICEST FLOWER SEEDS-SINCE 1890 El Monte, Los Angeles County, U. S. A.

E\GELMANx\ S PANSIES

As the result of an e\tensi\-e tour throu-th the Pansy ^row- in"; districts of Europe ^ye selected and offered to the trade last year Eiyuelmann's Special and Enttelmann’s Giant. Both of these strains have been tried out and found to be what the trade wanted. Everyone who has grown either of these strains has been enthusiastic over them. I'he immense size of the blooms and the beautiful range of color will undoubt¬ edly increase sales on this popular flower, especially where blooming plants are sold. If you have not already tried these we hope you will do so this year. 'To those who have used these strains we urge the early placing of orders as the crop will be somewhat limited.

The flowers are a clear buttercup yellow fully as large as Campfire (Sensation) or Ball’s Orange and with good strong stems for cutting.

ANTIRRHINUM MAJESTIC SNOWSTORM LEPTOSYNE STILLMANII

These four improved cut flower varieties will be found listed in our 1933 contract list. We consider these very de¬ sirable and recommend that you list them this spring. New crop seed will be available within the next four weeks.

We hope that you will give your consideration to new or additional items lor your 1934 spring catalog at this time amu cover immediately as flow'er seeds are selling out rapidly and we have already found it necessary to discontinue booking or¬ ders for some of the most popular varieties. We also expect an unusually heavy late demand and suggest that you antici¬ pate your requirements liberally as we feel that it will be very difficult to pick up the necessary fill-in items next spring.
