Pansy. Truly speaking a perennial, but an annual 
in California. To obtain the best results the seed 
should be sown in August, September, or early 
part of October. Sow the seed in boxes of fine, 
rich soil mixed with plenty of leaf mold and sand, 
cover the seed lightly and keep in a frame, lath 
house, or outside in some sheltered and partially 
shaded place. When the plants are large enough 
to handle, transplant to beds of rich, well prepared 
soil, and cover the surface with a layer of well 
rotted, sifted manure. Pansies prefer a rather 
heavy soil with plenty of well rotted manure, this 
is very essential. Indeed it is almost impossible 
to use too much manure on pansies and the richer 
the soil the larger and more perfect will he the 
flowers. Later sowings may be made up to the 
beginning of February, but they will not do as well 
as those sown early in the fall and the blooming 
period will be much shorter.

Pentstemon. Perennial, 2 to 3 feet. Free flowering 
plants for borders or beds. Colors in various 
shades of white, pink, red and purpie, beautifully 
spotted and marked. Sow the seed in spring or 
early fall in seed boxes and when large enough 
transplant. 
- Hartwegi grandiflorus. Large-flowered, superb, 
mixed. Pkt. 10c. 
Petunia. Perennial 1 to 1% feet. Charming plants 
for large beds and borders, succeeding well in a 
sunny situation and blooming for the greater part 
of the year. Sow the seed in February in seed 
nans or boxes of light soil, cover the seed very 
lightly and water with a fine spray. When the 
plants are large enough transplant to the open 
ground. 
Note.—Seed saved from the most carefully hybrid¬ 
ized flowers, produce about 30 per cent double 
flowers, the balance being singles of unusually fine 
quality. The weaker seedlings should be carefully 
saved, as these invariably produce the double 
flowers. In a measure the same is true of the 
single sorts, the small, weak seedlings generally 
produce the largest and finest flowers, while the 
large, strong seedlings usually turn out to be of 
the most common types.
