30 Superior Flower Seed 
The STORRS & HARRISON CO 
New Pentstemon “Sensation.” 
Improved Swiss Giant Pansies. 
fPANSY 
Pansy seed sown 
the latter part of 
April is best for 
spring sowing; Double Giant Flowering Petunias, 
under normal con¬ 
ditions, producing 
flowers by the last of June and con¬ 
tinuously until fall. A well enriched, 
finely worked soil is best. If drilled 
in, seed should be covered not over 
4 times its own depth. If thinly cov¬ 
ered (paper will do), to preserve 
moisture, germination should occur 
within 8 to 12 days. When the plants 
are sufficiently developed, transfer 
to desired location, allowing about 9 
inches for interval. Many i)eople 
start them in hotbeds or in boxes in 
the house, about 2 weeks before the 
probable earliest planting time. 
Improved Swiss Giant. Some¬ 
thing new and rare. Shades never 
before seen in Pansies. Their col¬ 
ors are beautifully combined, all 
flowers 3- or 6-blotched. Then the 
size. Three inches in diameter as 
an average, perfectly round with 
overlapping petals, well up above 
the luxuriant foliage, on long stur¬ 
dy stems. Mixed only.

ITrimardeau. A particularly robust, 
hardy strain with richly colored

ter results and greater popularity 
for this type than obtainable from
