ROSS' EXHIBITION PANSIES 
Blooms Abundantly from Early Spring to Severe Frost 
A Lovely / Velvety Assortment of Colors that Endures All Climates 
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 pre¬ 
pared and supplied with well-rotted manure. To assist 
germination by retaining moisture, cover the seed bed 
with sheeting or single burlap, removing as soon as seed¬ 
lings 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.
