Little Giants Mixed 
(Introducer's Description) 
From our Trial Ground—the most unique Marigold novelty of the decade. 
A Marigold that will average only a height of 15 inches and yet will 
actually produce a head of twenty to thirty-five beautiful four-inch 
flowers. 
Little Giants throws blooms varying in form from the informal Carnation 
type to the perfect Fistulosa globe. The plants are very closely compact 
and the stems short. Its foliage is a beautiful dark bluish green. 
Although Little Giants range in height from 10 to 15 inches, a fraction 
percentage of taller plants will show up. However, these are easily 
detected at the transplanting stage as they all have light colored foliage 
—Little Giants being a deep bluish green. Little Giants is strongly rec¬ 
ommended for bedding and pot plants, especially the latter—as it will 
bloom a head of twenty-five flowers all at the same time. Color ranges 
from a yellow to a very bright orange, with many shades in between.

FLOWERING PANSY 
Pansies at Their Loveliest 
One of the most important horticultural introductions of recent years. 
Plants grow 2*/2 to 3 V 2 feet high, with six to eight strong upright stems 
bearing numerous good sized blooms on flower stems ten to twelve 
inches long. 
Sow in July-August 
Seed should be sown under glass in July or August, and the plants 
benched in the greenhouse about October. Set the plants twelve inches 
apart in the bench and support in the same manner as Carnations. They 
may also be grown in 6-inch pgts sunk in the bench if desired. 
A Wealth of Bloom from December to May 
The color range is excellent, and if the blooms are kept cut as they 
mature the flowering period will continue from December well on into the 
spring. Our illustration shows some of the plants grown in pots and 
exhibited at the Chicago spring flower show by Mr. Fritz Bahr, where 
they attracted considerable favorable attention.
