PANSIES 
To grow the finest and largest Pansies, remember plants thrive 
best in cool weather; sow seed at a time that will bring them into 
bloom very early in the spring or fall. Without a doubt, the best 
results are secured by sowing in late July or August and protecting 
the young plants over winter with a covering of strawy manure or 
a deep blanket of leaves. They will then be ready to begin bloom¬ 
ing as soon as the weather opens up in the spring and will con¬ 
tinue to flower until hot weather. The next best time to sow is 
very early in the spring, in February or March, starting the seed 
in a box indoors or in a coldframe and setting the plants outdoors 
the latter part of April. Pansies should be given plenty of room, 
at least 8 inches between plants, and good cultivation, also a 
liberal supply of water during dry weather. If set out in a spot 
that is shaded part of the day, where the soil is deep and moist, 
and the flowers picked daily, the plants may be kept blooming 
all summer, but the flowers always run small in hot weather. Fall¬ 
blooming plants are secured by sowing in June or early July.

PETUNIAS 
For solid beds of color, borders and edging, vases and porch- 
boxes; in fact for every purpose except cutting, the Petunias are 
surpassed by few if any of the easily grown garden annuals. 
They come into bloom early and continue to flower profusely all 
summer long, thriving on poor soil and in the hottest weather. 
Sow the seed in April or May, scattering it thinly on fine sifted 
soil and, instead of covering it, press it firmly into contact with the 
earth with a smooth board. When the seedlings are about 2 inches 
high, transplant them to the place where you want them to bloom.
