DON'S GIANT WINTER FLOWERING 
PANSIES 
This lovely Pansy is one of the most impor¬ 
tant horticultural introductions of recent 
years; the plants grow to a height of 2 x h 
to 3 feet, with 6 to 8 strong upright stems 
bearing numerous good-sized blooms on 
flower stems 10 to 12 inches long. Seed 
should be sown under glass in July-August, 
and the plants benched in the greenhouse 
about October. Set the plants 12 inches apart 
in the bench, and support in the same man¬ 
ner as Carnations. They may also be grown 
in 6-inch pots sunk in the bench if desired. 
The color range is excellent, and if the blooms 
are kept cut as they mature, the flowering 
period will continue from December until 
May. At the Chicago spring flower show 
last season, an exhibit of Don's Winter Flow¬ 
ering Pansy by Mr. Fritz Bahr attracted con¬ 
siderable attention. We recommend them 
very highly.
