PANSY 
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. If sown in July, the plants will bloom in the fall, or if sown in Septem- 
ber, the following spring. Well pulverized soil should be used and the seeds cov¬ 
ered 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 a 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 advantageous 
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. 
MASTERPIECE, GIANT FRILLED. This strain comes nearer to the Double Pansies 
than anything ever introduced under that name. In reality the number of petals 
is the same as that in any other pansy flower but they are crimped and curled 
in such a fashion that the flowers appear double. The flowers are of enormous 
size, often three inches across, and the color variations and combinations are 
odd and striking. Pkt., 25c; y s oz., 75c.

ICELAND. While these are hardy perennials, they flower 
the first year from seed. Are of graceful habit, with bright 
green, fern-like foliage, formed in tufts, from which issue 
slender stalks about 15 in. high, bearing their brilliant 
flowers in endless profusion. For cutting, pick when in bud. 
and if the seed pods are picked off, they continue in flower 
the entire season. 
PHLOX 
In its great variety of rich colors, probably the most 
brilliant of all annuals. Fine for bedding, making a daz¬ 
zling show throughout the entire season. 
Seed is usually sown very early in spring outdoors in 
rows one foot apart. A sunny situation is desirable. Well 
pulverized soil, preferably rich and mellow, should be used 
and the seed, which germinates rather slowly, covered 
with about one-fourth inch of fine soil firmly pressed down. 
Thin to four inches apart. For very early blooming, seed 
may be sown outdoors in fall, or started indoors and 
transplanted early in April. Hardy annual; one foot high.
