The KENILWORTH Giant Pansy Seed 



KENLL.WORTH GIANT PRIZE. I have Improved this strain by selecting and 

 saving seed from the best shaped flowers of the most gorgeous color for many 

 years. It is of the blocked Masterpiece type. The plants distinguish them- 

 selves by their robust growth and healthy-looking foliage; they are deep 

 rooted and stand the hot, dry weather better than most other varieties. The 

 large flowers don long, thick sterna are carried well above the foliage in the 

 most graceful manner, are of enormous size and of good substance. The 

 petals are exceedingly broad and cover each other in such a manner as to 

 make the flowers appear almost double. The border of each petal being 

 conspicuously undulated and curled, the gorgeous and varied colored blos- 

 soms of velvety texture, perfect form and giant size, frequently measuring 

 3'/4 inches in diameter; the ground color such as yellow, white, deep orange, 

 mahogany brown, bronze blue, and endless variations. Most petals are beau- 

 tifully marked with a large blotch, a few are self-colored. Thev are spe- 

 cially fine for planting under glass or outside for cut flowers at all seasons.

flower seeds were received, not only 

 from the trade in this country, but 

 from Enf,'l;ind. Canada, Australia and 

 also practically all other countries 

 whose soil was not invaded or block- 

 aded. Many know how tlie growers 

 rose to the occasion and that for the 

 last eight years it has been necessary 

 to almost double the acreage each year. 



Seed Growing Sections. 



It has been impossible for me to com- 

 pile accurate data on the acreage de- 

 voted to flower seeds in California, but 



I believe that, if we omit the sweet 

 pea acreage, the total will run well over 

 2,000 acres. Some of the leading vari- 

 eties are asters, alyssum, antirrhinum, 

 calendula, candytuft, cosmos, larkspur, 

 mignonette, nasturtium, jietuuia, stocks, 

 verbena and zinnia. 



-•\gain omitting the sweet pea acre- 

 age, we And the growing of small 

 flower seeds confined to the southern 

 part of the state and to practically two 

 distinct districts. The southern part 

 of San Luis Obispo county, with Guada- 

 loupe and Lompoc in the northern part 



of Santa Barbara county, forms one dis- 

 trict, and Los Angeles, with surround- 

 ing territory, the other district. 



The growers quickly realized that 

 this increase in business would not be 

 lasting unless the greatest efforts were 

 m.-ido along tlie lines of quality, and to 

 this end their combined efforts have 

 been directed. 



Quality the Slogan. 



The production of quality flower 

 seeds was set up as tho guiding star 

 to be followed, regardless of cost of
