SELECTED PANSY SEED 
For Summer and Autumn Sowings 
Growing Pansies from Summer and Autumn-Sown Seed. Sow the 
seed in July, August or the early part of September in the open ground on a 
finely prepared seedbed sheltered from hot sun, or protect with a light cover- 
ing of hay or straw or even burlap, to keep the ground moist until the seedlings 
are up. Thin the seedlings to 3 or 4 inches apart—in about 6 weeks the young 
plants can be removed to their permanent flowering quarters, where they must 
be again covered with hay to a depth of about 3 inches after freezing weather 
sets in. Another way to winter over autumn-grown seedlings is to transplant 
them 3 or 4 inches apart according to their size into coldframes, and trans- 
plant to flowering quarters as early in the spring as possible. 
The Pansy is hardy with slight protection, and thrives best when grown cool. 
MAMMOTH BUTTERFLY 
This ‘“‘Butterfly’’ race originated from selections made by the late Peter 
Henderson—who was particularly fond of Pansies—from the best American, 
English, Scotch, French and German varieties. This process of selection has 
been followed by us ever since, and from the legion of ‘‘most beautiful’’ Pansies 
among Henderson’s Butterflies we have chosen this offering.

gation.

BUGNOT’S LARGE STAINED FRENCH 
These Pansies are distinguished by their varied colors and strong markings. 
There is a large ‘“‘blotch”’ on each of the five petals, with a band of some strik- 
ingly contrasting color, over all of which is thrown a cobweb like netting of 
yet another hue.

GIANT RUFFLED 
The broad petals seem to be ‘‘gathered’’ to the stem, causing them to be 
fluted from center to circumference, not unlike “‘frilled’’ velvet. The unusual 
substance of the flowers, enables them to present bold, open and handsome 
faces, during windy or dry summer weather, when other Pansy flowers droop 
or wilt. The flowers are borne on strong stems well above the foliage and con- 
tain rich combinations of coloring not found in other Pansies.

SWISS GIANT or Roggli’s Hybrids 
These varieties were raised by a Pansy Specialist in Switzerland and have 
created a decided sensation in floricultural circles. The plants are very robust, 
and the enormous flowers of heavy texture are carried on strong stems well 
above the leaves. We have pleasure in offering to our customers, the very 
distinct varieties described below.

Rockeries and Rock Gardens 
4761 Collection of 15 varieties of perennial Flower seeds, $2.00 Postpaid.
