BECKERT SEED AND BULB COMPANY 



PANSIES 



BHH. Cool weather and 

 moist soil produce the 

 largest and finest Pan- 

 :,; sies. The best time to 



sow is during July or 

 4j August, in shaded 

 ^ frames in which the plants, 

 given some protection, may 

 be carried over winter and set 

 out early the following spring 

 when they will commence to 

 bloom at once and continue all 

 summer if supplied with plenty of 

 water. Next best is to sow indoors 

 f or in the hotbed in February or 

 March. Seed sown outdoors in May 

 will give blooming plants in the fall. 

 Space pansy plants at least a foot apart 

 and keep them picked.
