ABOVE—English Daisies 
and Forget-me-nots make a 
delightful bouquet. 
LEFT—Eneglish Daisies in 
a formal border. 
RIGHT—White Giant 
Pansies used effectively. 
Pansies and Violas, English Daisies and Forget-me-nots don’t sound 
like very spectacular flowers, do they? But if you think of them as humble 
little filler plants that stand aside to watch the full-dress parade of bolder 
Spring flowers, you are due for a surprise. 
One of the happiest uses for them is in border plantings. In the foreground 
of a perennial border, in front of Narcissus and Tulips, or masking the base 
of Spring-flowering shrubs, they are superbly beautiful. Don’t try to make this 
edging too precise and trim. Wherever you can, let it be somewhat irregular. 
Most pleasing masses of color in the rock-garden may be had with Violas. 
Avoid spottiness in the color effect by setting the plants m large groups. ~~ 
English Daisies and Forget-me-nots combine well to make a carpet in a 
partly shaded place. You will like them for their adaptability m the border, 
formal or informal. They perform real service in every well-planned Spring 
and early-Summer garden. 
If you want to have a particular color effect with your Pansies, try some of 
the named varieties, listed here and on the next pages. How about Lake of 
Thun Pansy as a border for King Alfred or some other good variety of Narcissus? 
Pansies and Violas make a special appeal to children, who seem to see a 
reflection of themselves in their up-turned faces. A fine way of encouraging 
young America to make a garden Is to start with a few Pansy plants, say as 
an Easter gift to be planted outdoors Easter Monday. And let your first 
admonition to the young gardener be this: Keep the wilted Pansies picked off. 
Don’t let them go to seed, or they will stop blooming. 
Pansies can boast of a long ancestry—ain fact, they are members of the D. A. R. 
among flowers. Old writers called them ‘‘Heart’s-ease,”’ “Kiss me quick,” 
‘““Three-faces in a hood,” or even ‘‘Meet her in the entry kiss her in the buttery!”’ 
Pitzonka Pansies as used at the New York World's Fair demonstrated their use 
in massed planting. They brought our name before the public, and the public 
responded with interest and admiration.

The novelties we offer are the result of 
testing the best introductions of Pansy 
growers. You get the benefit of our years 
of trial and study. 
BERNA. A Swiss Giant with large, well- 
formed flowers of fine texture in a strik- 
ing velvety violet-blue, with dark centers. 
GIANT LUNA. The habit of growth and 
size of flowers is similar to Coronation 
Gold, but the color is sulphur-yellow. 
The well-shaped bloom, held erect on a 
good stem, makes it a desirable cut- 
flower subject. Strong, vigorous plants. 
MRS. A. H. SCOTT. A Baby Pansy as 
to size but a headliner otherwise. It 
grows only 4 inches high and produces 
a compact, bushy plant. Valuable for 
both border and rockery. The deep 
purple flowers shade off in the top petals 
to a white edge, suggesting a miniature 
Lord Beaconsfield. 
MAPLE LEAF, VIOLET JEWEL. Maple 
Leaf type with the same heavy foliage 
and large flowers. Rich purple. 
SUPER MAPLE LEAF GIANTS. Has 
unusually attractive, thick foliage and 
large, round flowers, 4 inches and more 
across, of a heavy velvety substance. 
Flowers blotched in purples, yellows and 
other variegated shades. Strong, stiff 
stems make it very desirable for cut- 
flower purposes.
