Pansies F av ° ri tes 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 difference in the price of 
the various mixtures offered. 
Spring 1 Planting. Seed should be sown in hotbeds or boxes, 
then transplanted to open ground after freezing is over. It is a 
mistake to plant Pansies in the shade of a tree or building. During 
dry weather the bed 
should be watered 
daily, and in extreme 
cases twice a day for 
the best results. Cul¬

Pall Planting. 
Many gardeners pre¬ 
fer August sowing in 
hotbeds, covering well 
with, straw, mulching 
with manure when 
winter sets in, grad¬ 
ually uncovering on 
warm days in early 
spring. These will pro¬ 
duce the early April 
blossoms. Pansies are 
successfully grown 
from seed even by the 
novice; however, we 
recommend our full¬ 
blooming plants. Ready Pansies, Denver Giants, 
in April.

Petunias A garden without these 
favorites could hardly be 
called complete; there are few which 
equal them for effect. They commence 
blooming in July if sown outside in 
May, and continue to flower in great 
masses until destroyed by frost. Their 
culture is the most simple; any soil 
seems to suit them, while, of course, 
a good rich earth adds greatly to the 
richness of color. The various strains 
which we offer have been obtained 
from specialists, and we are confident 
that they will give satisfactory results. 
For early blooming sow early in the 
house and cultivate in small pots or 
flats till the weather has settled.

"DEPENDABLE GRADE” FLOWER SEEDS 
For your guidance and to make the results of your efforts more certain you will find cultural direc¬ 
tions on most of the packets. 
Flowers are usually known as Annuals, Biennials and Perennials. 
Annuals bloom and ripen seed the first year and then perish. 
Biennials do not generally bloom the first year and are in perfection the second year only. 
Perennials flower several years in succession, many blooming the first year from seed sown early 
and are used for permanent plantings. 
Por price list Perennial seeds, see page 10. 
Hardy Perennials and Biennials may be sown either in early fall or spring and require no pro¬ 
tection through the winter. Hardy Annuals may be sown either in late fall or spring. They often 
self-sow in the fall. 
Half-Hardy Annuals, Biennials and Perennials cannot be sown in open ground until warm 
weather; they may, if desired, be started early inside and transplanted afterwards. The latter two need 
protection in winter or may be carried through in cold frames or greenhouses. _
