‘ Pansy ‘‘Best-by-Test” Strain. Several years 
_-—sago’:-we carried on a very thorough test 
: of pansy seed which we acquired from 
various pansy growers and selected for 
listing a strain that seemed to us to be 
the best. Each year since we have con- 
tinued these tests. In addition to this we 

oa visited many seed farms where we saw 
eo various strains growing. As a result we 
re again offer our first choice as our “‘Best- 
oe by-Test” Pansy: strain. The blooms are 
SS very large and of fine substance, and are 
ib produced in great abundance on plants 
_ that make very uniform growth. The 
ae colors are especially clear and rich and 
ats there is a well-balanced color range.

PETUNIAS (a) 
In dry seasons or wet, petunias are the 
most colorful, long flowering and adap- 
table of all the annuals, blooming from 
late spring ’til frost. Interesting for flower 
arrangements. The big double ruffled va- 
rieties make grand pot plants. The dwarf 
ruffled giants are also excellent in pots 
and in window boxes and borders. The 
large flowered singles for color spots in 
the garden and the balcony type for trail- 
ing over window boxes. The small plain 
edged varieties are best for big color 
masses. 
Petunias should be planted in the sun, 
in good soil and not watered too freely. 
The seed which is very tiny should be 
mixed with fine sand and scattered thinly 
in boxes of finely screened loam, then 
pressed down lightly with a smooth 
board. See “How to Grow Seed” page 00.
