Tait’s Unrivaled Pansies 
A popular half-hardy perennial, and one 
of our specialties. The seed we offer is 
produced by the best Pansy growers in 
the world, and for size and coloring, Tait’s 
mixtures are unsurpassed. In the south, 
while the seed may be sown in the spring, 
a longer blooming season will result when 
the seed is sown in August and September, 
as the plants need only a slight protection 
to go through the winter. Pansies do best 
in cool moist soil that is protected from 
winds and the mid-day suns. Height 8 ins.
