Beokert's Giant-Flowering Pansy 



BECKERT'S SUPERB PANSIES HHP 



Best results are obtained by sowing- the seed in July or 

 August and carrying the young plants over the winter in 

 cold-frames or in a sheltered spot in the garden, protected 

 by a deep covering of straw or leaves. These plants will 

 bear flowers early the next spring and continue throughout 

 the season. The seed may also be sown in late April and the 

 plants from this sowing will commence to bloom in late 

 June. Pull-blown flowers should be removed every few days 

 to prevent their going to seed. Do not spare the hose during 

 hot spells.
