Pansies 
PANSIES 
Pansies are hardy biennials and are indispensable 
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 strag- 
gly and worn out, besides giving more graceful 
material for flower arrangements. They afford an 
unusual 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 Forget-me-nots. The Pansies offered here, 
are the largest flowered and finest varieties obtain- 
able. Only the best and most expensive 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. 
Giant Swiss, extra fine color range, grown from our 
own seed. 
Steele’s Jumbo, especially large flowered. 
In separate colors, for mass planting, the following 
are available: 
Improved Firebeacon, fiery red, an unusually rich 
shade. Very fine. Use with wallflowers or with yell- 
low flowered bulbs or shrubs. 
Mont Blanc, largest pure white, fine with magenta or 
red Azaleas, with pink or red tulips, etc. 
Ullswater, deep blue with black blotches, a stunning 
contrast with yellow flowered bulbs or shrubs.
