slender stalks crowned with flow r ers. The blossoms are

PANSIES 
Pansies thrive best in a moist, 
sunny location and in rich, loamy 
soil. Seed should be sown in the 
autumn for early spring blossoms 
or can be sown early in the year 
for good flowers later in the 
spring. The plants must be trans¬ 
planted twice in order to get the, 
largest flowers; once from the 
seed box to a chosen bed, and 
again to the open garden. This is 
important for large size pansies; 
use manure liberally. The blos¬ 
soms are usually larger in the 
spring and again in the fall, and w*hile they bloom freely, 
all summer, the blossoms are small during the hot months. 
It is much more interesting, satisfactory and inex¬ 
pensive to grow your own pa^geg" from se%d. By so doing 
you may select and carry ' but yodr individual Color 
scheme; you may also select your own types and take ad¬ 
vantage of some of the finest varieties, the plants of 
which are not offered for sale.

PETUNIAS 
There are marvelous possibilities in home garden Pe¬ 
tunia growing. Many new and improved types may be 
trained in interesting form on lattice, pillars, mass bed¬ 
ding, etc. The culture of Petunias is simple. Seeds may be 
planted from September to March in cold frames or boxes. 
Equal parts of loam soil and fine river sand provide a 
good seed bed. 
Broadcast seeds on the surface and sift fine sand to 
barely cover the seed. Water ‘with a fine fog spray. A 
covering of glass will assist in holding the moisture until 
seeds are germinated and should be removed to give seed¬ 
lings fresh air and to harden them. Do not expose, the very 
voung seedlings to hot sun, but give them plenty of light 
and air the first few days after germination. A cloth 
screen is sufficient protection. The very best strains of 
Petunias wull produce a small percentage of inferior flow*- 
ers, and the smaller plants often produce the best flowers; 
therefore, plants should be taken as they come.

Annual Poppies should be sown as early in the spring 
as possible where they are to remain, as ihey do not 
stand transplanting. Sow very thinly, preferably m qloudy 
weather or after a shower; barely cover the seed, press 
down firmly and they will come up in a few days, if they 
come up too thickly they must be thinned out to stand 3 
To 4 inches or more apart if you wish best results. It is 
w*eH to make several sowings at intervals to keep up a 
succession of bloom. ' ... , ,
