Biennial — Culture “G” 
Blooms April to Jul^ 
A popular biennial, and one of our specialties. The seed we offer is produced by 
the best Pansy growers in the world, and for size and coloring, Tait’s mixtures are 
unsurpassed. In the south, while the seed may be sown in the spring, a longer 
blooming season will result when the seed is sown in August and September, as the 
plants need only a slight protection to go through the winter. Pansies do best in 
cool moist soil that is protected from winds and the mid-day suns. Height 8 inches.
