Pansies always have been a great specialty with us and we are justly proud of the 
quality and trueness to type of our strains. Pansies succeed best in rich, well-drained 
soil in a sunny position, and produce their finest flowers in the cool, early days of 
spring. Keep flowers picked during the summer, plants pinched back, and you will 
get a nice lot of flowers again in the fall. For earliest blooms, start seed indoors. 
Trimardeau or Giant Bedding 
Plants are compact, free blooming, of neat habit, and very hardy. Flowers are 
large, borne on strong, stiff stems long enough for cutting. Popular everywhere 
for beds and edgings where certain colors or color combinations are desired. 
Portulaca 
Rose Moss, Sun Plant (H BS 
For a brilliant display in low bor¬ 
ders. edgings, beds, rock gardens, or 
ground cover nothing can excel 
portulaca. Blooms early and con¬ 
tinuously until frost; must have a 
sunny location, but will grow in 
almost any soil if well drained. 
Forms a dense, thick carpet; 4 to 
6 in. tall. Nice to sow between 
stepping stones. Seed is very fine so 
should be barely covered when sown. 
Double Large Flowered 
P'lowers are like little roses. Seed 
saved from perfectly double flowers 
will produce some singles. As singles 
usually bloom first, they can be re¬ 
moved if desired and a double flow¬ 
ering plant put in its place later. 
2654 Pink Bright and lively color. 
2655 Red Large scarlet-red blooms. 
2656 Salmon Exquisite shade.
