PETUNIAS 
New Fringed Petunias 
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 J uly 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.
