PLATT'S SUPERLATIVE PANSY 
Pansy. 
Heartsease 
The pansy stands in a class by itself. It is a 
flower that everyone admires, even if only a small 
place to raise them. The pansy produces best 
results during the cool days of spring, and in a 
sandy loam thoroughly prepared and supplied with 
well-rotted manure. To assist germination by re¬ 
taining moisture, cover the seed bed with sheeting 
or single burlap, removing as soon as seedlings 
begin to appear. From this time on it is important 
never to let the soil become dry; to do so is 
fatal; keep moist but not soaking wet. For early 
spring flowers, sow seed in August and protect 
during the winter. 
Pansies in Mixtures. 
Platt’s Superlative Mixed. This is a very rich 
mixture of giant long-stemmed pansies, early and 
free blooming, containing the choicest sorts grown 
by foremost specialists. It has a very wide varia¬ 
tion of colors, including new velvet-like red and 
gold shades, also ruffled types. The plant is of 
strong, compact growth. To those wishing extra 
quality we can highly recommend it as one of the 
finest obtainable. Price per oz., $10.00; per Y~oz., 
$1.50; per pkt., 25c. 
Roggli or Swiss Giants. Very attractive, unusual 
colors, many heretofore unknown in pansies. This 
pansy is so outstanding in its size and magnificent 
colors that it has created a sensation wherever 
shown. Where commercial growers have intro¬ 
duced it, the ordinary pansies are a thing of the 
past. In several instances, the demand for plants 
exceeded the supply, at good prices, while other 
pansy plants could not be sold even at a sacrifice.
