80 D. M. BERRY’ COS] DESCRIPTIVE: CARALOGUE 
e@ Pansies are now produced in an almost infinite variety of 
colors and markings. Their brilliancy of shading, extended 
ansles season of blooming and long keeping characteristics make 
them general favorites. The strains now offered are far 
superior to the old Heart’s Ease or Viola Tricolor and 
the esteem in which they were held by older generations has been heightened by the 
greater variety and more brilliant colors of the improved sorts. We have been interested 
in the bringing forward of advanced types of very Jarge varieties in this country as well 
as in Europe, and our stocks are the very best obtainable. We spare neither pains nor 
expense to satisfy the most critical trade. Every year we visit the gardens of the most 
expert specialists and are in position to give our customers the benefit of their knowledge. 
We have annually both out of doors and under glass extensive trials of Pansies from 
the most successful European growers and from prominent seedsmen. While the varia- 
tions in shades of color and markings appear almost limitless our list includes the very 
best strains the world produces. 
Seed may be sown indoors very early in spring, or a little later in the open ground, 
and transplanted when an inch high. Such plants will commence to bloom in June. 
sown in July,the plants will bloom in the fall, or if sown in September, the following spring. 
Well pulverized soil should be used and the seeds covered one-eighth to one-fourth inch 
deep with fine soil firmly pressed down. The largest and best flowers are produced by 
young plants which have been grown rather slowly in a partially shaded situation, and in 
very rich soil; coolness and moisture are necessary. A situation sheltered from high 
winds and exposed to the morning sun is most favorable and frequent sprinklings are advan- 
tageous. Grown indoors pansies make a good winter blooming pot plant. Hardy perennial 
but usually grown as an annual or biennial. Four to six inches high.
