PANSY. 



■ This well-known favorite is, without doubt, one of the 

 most satisfactory flowers to grow, especially now that cul- 

 tivation has brought forth such a bewildering variety of 

 forms isizes and colors. If large flowers are wanted in early 

 Sprinig, the seeds should be sown in Autumn in a frame. 

 For Spring sowing, get the seed in as early as possible, and 

 keep the ground well watered and thoroughly stirred up to 

 kill weeds. The Pansy delights in a rich, moist soil, and 

 the largest flowers are borne upon young plants. While 

 they require plenty of sunshine in the Spring, the hot 

 Summer sun is apt to dry them up and cause the flowers to 



become small. Our seed is all from carefully selected 

 large flowers, and with proper care in growing will yield 

 handsome returns.

PETUNIA 



(a) The two varieties of single 

 Petunias aie very distinct, one pro- 

 ducing numerous small flowers, and 

 the other, the Grandiflora section, 

 bearing immense flowers four to five inches in 

 diameter. For bedding the former variety is the 

 better, but for single specimens the latter gives the 

 greatest satisfaction . The seeds of the double varieties are 

 not as strong as those of thei single, and much care is 

 needed to get them to germinate. Seeds can be sown in 

 a cold frame, hot-bed, or open ground, and few flowers will 

 give greater pleasure. They are very hardy, free-flowering, 

 and blooms from June until frost.
