PLATT’S SUPERLATIVE PANSY. 
Pansy. 
Heartsease. 
The pansy stands in a class by itself. It is a 
flower that everyone admires, even if only a small 
place to raise them. The pansy produces best 
results during the cool days of spring, and in a 
sandy loam thoroughly prepared and supplied 
with well-rotted manure. To assist germination 
by retaining moisture, cover the seed bed with 
sheeting or single burlap, removing as soon as 
seedlings begin to appear. From this time on it 
is important never to let the soil become dry; 
to do so is fatal; keep moist but not soaking 
wet. For early spring flowers, sow seed in 
August and protect during the winter. 
Pansies in Mixtures. 
Platt’s Superlative Mixed. This is a very rich 
mixture of giant long-stemmed pansies, early and 
free blooming, containing the choicest sorts grown 
by foremost specialists. It has a very wide varia¬ 
tion of colors, including new velvet-like red and 
gold shades, also ruffled types. The plant is of 
strong, compact growth. To those wishing extra 
quality we can highly recommend it as one of the 
finest obtainable. Oz., $5.50; %- oz., 85c.; pkt., 25c. 
Roggli or Swiss Giants. New variety of great 
size; an outstanding development in pansies. Very 
attractive, unusual colors, many heretofore un¬ 
known in pansies. This pansy is so outstanding in 
its size and magnificent colors that it has created 
a sensation wherever shown. Where commercial 
growers have introduced it, the ordinary pansies 
are a thing of the past. In several instances, the 
demand for plants exceeded the supply, at good 
prices, while other pansy plants could not be sold 
even at a sacrifice. Oz., $5.50; Y-oz., 85c.; pkt., 25c.
