BECKERT SEED AND BULB COMPANY 



Pansies — Universal Favorites. 



Pansies 



Cool weather and moist soil produce the 

 largest and finest Pansies. The best time 

 to saw is during- July or 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 watered plentifully. 



Next best is to sow indoors or in the hot- 

 bed in February or March. Seed sown in- 

 doors in May will give blooming plants in 

 the fall. Space Pansy plants at least a 

 foot apart and keep the faded flowers 

 picked.
