ROCK’S GIANT PANSIES 
Rock’s selections as listed below are of the highest 
types under cultivation; seed especially selected from the 
largest and most beautiful stocks. For early spring flow¬ 
ers sow seed in early August and give plants a protection 
of a straw mulch during the winter; where possible, plant 
in a cold frame. For summer blooming sow indoors in 
a box or coldframe in early March and transplant to a 
cool, partially shaded situation in April. Seed sown out¬ 
doors in April will produce blooms the last of June.
