SI. Louis Seed Go.’s Giant Pansies 
(Tender Perennial) 
Culture: Seed may be sown indoors very early 
in spring, or a little later in the open ground, trans¬ 
planted when an inch high. Such plants will 
commence to bloom in June. If sown in July, the 
plants will bloom in the fall, or if sown in Sep¬ 
tember, the following spring. Well pulverized 
soil should be used and the seeds covered one- 
eighth to one-fourth inch deep with fine soil 
firmly pressed down. The largest and best flowers 
are produced by yoimg plants which have been 
grown rather slowly in a partially shaded situation, 
and in very rich soil; coolness and moisture are 
necessary. A situation sheltered from high winds 
and exposed to the morning sun is most favorable 
and frequent sprinklings are advantageous.
