PANSY (HO 6 in.) 
We all know and love Pansies, and especially the fine 
large flowering strains. The delicate texture of a pansy 
blossom brings out to its fullest value the rich color com¬ 
binations and gives us flowers whose charm is never dulled. 
Pansies are always at their best in mixtures, therefore we 
have selected some of the finest strains and offer these in 
mixtures. Our Exhibition Mixture, we believe to be the 
finest of the large flowered kinds. The Orchid Flowered 
offers an especially rare blending of unusual colors. The 
Mastodons are famous the world over for their large flowers. 
The Masterpieces give us a ruffled flower of large size and 
unique appearance, while Bugnots bring out the favorite 
blotches of the pansy to perfection. The Tufted or Violas 
are especially recommended for sowing on lawns or wood- 
lots where they may become established. Pansies like a 
moist rich soil and should never be planted in hot locations 
Seed may be started outdoors early in the spring but should 
be covered with canvas. Or they may be started indoors 
or in a cold frame and transplanted. Then they can be 
sowed from June to August and kept in a cold frame or 
protected spots for winter and early spring blooms.

PETUNIA (HO 8 to 18 in.) 
No other flower will bloom so constantly throughout the 
summer as the Petunia. For this reason it makes one of 
our best bedding and box plants. It begins to bloom soon 
after the plants come up and from then until frost is a 
mass of brilliant color. The Dwarf or Nana Erecta sorts 
are of dwarf upright growth and make good beds or box 
flowers. The bedding kinds are spreading in their growth 
and cover a lot of space. The Balcony type is one of the 
finest of the petunias and is especially desirable for window 
and porch boxes. They grow up for a while and then hang 
down giving a mass of blooms. The Ruffled Giants give 
some doubles and many fine fringed flowers. Our selection 
of Large Double Fringed is one of the finest to be had and 
will produce as many doubles as any seed grown. But no 
seed will produce much over 30% doubles. However, from 
the doubles will come many fringed flowers and some of the 
finest of large singles. Petunias like full sunlight. Start 
seed either outdoors or indoors. 
LARGE RUFFLED 
The best of the large fringed or double petunias. These 
seed are very expensive and hard to secure.
