BUTZER’S GIANT PANSIES 
Pansies are too well known to re¬ 
quire any description, as they are fa¬ 
vorites with all. For best results you 
must start with a good strain. The 
finest Pansies are, as a rule, shy 
seeders, which accounts for the dif¬ 
ference in the price of the various 
mixtures offered. 
Sow Pansy seed in August or Sep¬ 
tember, in fresh, moist soil, cover 
lightly and press seeds in with a board. 
Keep the bed moist by watering, and 
if the weather is hot and dry by 
mulching with straw or by shading 
with cloth. The seeds will germinate 
in about two weeks, when the straw 
or cloth should be removed. In from four to 
six weeks, transplant to a slightly raised bed, 
setting the plants about 3 inches apart each 
way. Protect during winter with straw or 
leaves, and transplant to desired location early 
in the spring. Seed may be sown in the open 
ground in the spring as soon as soil can be 
fitted. 
PANSY PLANTS 
The plants here offered are grown from our 
choicest strains of seed, and for size of bloom, 
richness of coloring and texture will be found 
unsurpassed by any other strain. We offer 
good strong plants, raised from seed sown last 
August at $1.00 per dozen, postpaid. 
We have discarded the ordinary Pansies in separate colors in favor of these, which 
produce very large flowers, plants of strong robust growth, and well adapted to the con¬ 
ditions of our climate.
