PANSY (HO 6 in.) 
We all know and love Pansies, and especially the fine large 
flowering strains. The delicate texture of a pansy blossom 
brings out to its fullest value the rich color combinations and 
gives us flowers whose charm is never dulled. Pansies are 
always at their best in mixtures, therefore we have selected 
Ruffled Giant Petunia 
* best bedding and box plants. 
White Phlox 
some of the finest strains and offer these in mixtures. Our 
Engleman’s Mixture, we believe to be the finest of the large 
flowered kinds. The Swiss Giants are famous the world over for 
their large flowers. Bugnots bring out the favorite blotches 
of the pansy to perfection. The Tufted or Violas are especially 
recommended for sowing on lawns or woodlots where they may 
become established. Pansies like a moist rich soil and should 
never be planted in hot locations. Seed may be started out- 
doors early in the spring but should be covered with canvas. 
Or they may be started indoors or in a cold frame and trans- 
planted. Then they can be sowed from June to August and kept 
in a cold frame or protected spots for winter and early spring 
blooms.

PETUNIA (HO 8 to 18 in.) 
No other flower will bloom so constantly throughout the 
summer as the Petunia. For this reason it makes one of our 
It begins to bloom soon after the 
plants come up and from then until frost is a mass of brilliant 
color. The Dwarf or Nana Erecta sorts are of dwarf upright 
growth and make good beds or box flowers. The bedding kinds 
are spreading in their growth and cover a lot of space. The 
Balcony type is one of the finest of the petunias and is espe- 
cially desirable for window and porch boxes. They grow up 
for a while and then hang down giving a mass of blooms. The 
Ruffled Giants give some doubles and many fine fringed flowers. 
But no seed will produce much over 30 per cent doubles. How- 
ever, from the doubles will come many fringed flowers and 
some of the finest of large singles. Petunias like full sunlight. 
Start seed either outdoors or indoors. 
LARGE RUFFLED 
The best of the large fringed or double petunias. These seed 
are very expensive and hard to secure.
