PANSIES 
Pansies are hardy biennials and are indis¬ 
pensable spring garden material. Planted 
in the fall or spring, in fine rich loam, they 
will produce a profusion of color well into 
the summer, if the seed pods are kept 
picked. Pick the entire branch, instead of 
just the flower. This will keep the plant 
from becoming straggly and worn out, 
besides giving more graceful material for 
flower arrangements. They afford an un¬ 
usual opportunity for working out exquisite 
color combinations when used as a ground 
cover for spring bulbs or under flowering 
trees and shrubs. Try them instead of For¬ 
get-me-nots. The Pansies offered here, are 
the largest flowered and finest varieties 
obtainable. Only the best and most ex¬ 
pensive foreign and domestic seed is used. 
The blossoms are usually from 3 inches to 
5 inches in diameter, and of good texture; 
many ruffled, in superb colors and shades. 
The plants are of good size, sturdy, with a 
fine root system. They are established 
plants from the field not seedlings taken 
from the seed bed. In mixed colors, the 
following are offered at $1.00 per dozen. 
At the garden, 75c per dozen. 
Steele's Jumbo, especially large flowered. 
Steele's Swiss 400, fine color range. 
Oregon Giants, very large ruffled blooms on stiff
