St. Louis Seed Co.'s Giant Pansies 
(Tender Perennial) 
Culture: Seed may be sown indoors very early in spring, or a little later in the open ground, trans¬ 
planted 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 September, the following spring. Well pulverized soil should be used and 
the seeds covered 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 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. Half hardy perennial but usually 
grown as an annual or biennial. 6 inches.
