PANSIES 
(25,000 seeds per ounce.) 
Altho the shutting off of our European sources of supply has 
affected our list of available Pansy seed, we are glad to report 
that the following very complete list of important varieties is 
available as indicated from tested 1941 crop and ready for im- 
mediate delivery. A January sowing of both Pansies and Violas 
will make nice small flowering plants to sell out of flats or pots 
in late spring and early summer. 
For larger plants a Fall sowing is advisable.

PHLOX Drummondi (Annual) 
14,000 S. For ease of culture, brilliant, positive colors and strains 
that come true, annual Phlox Drummondi can’t be beaten. We 
regularly sow our 
Phlox trials here at 
West Chicago right 
out in the field about 
the end of May, and 
they are a riot of 
color in early August. 
Certainly this can be 
said of few outdoor 
bedding plants that 
stand our hot mid- 
summer conditions! 
The Grandifloras have 
some value for cut- 
ting too. Phlox don’t 
stand transplanting 
well when their roots 
have to be disturbed 
which means sowing 
in April in pots or our 

Phlox should be sown direct in our 
new plant bands latitude for best results outdoors. 
for earlier outdoor 
flowering.
