EXHIBITION PANSIES 
Pansies have long been a very popu- 
lar favorite and they make delightful 
beds. The finest Pansies are shy-seed- 
ers as a rule, and that accounts for the 
difference in prices. Sow seed in boxes 
or beds and transplant to cool locations 
for long blooming period. 
Roggli Swiss Giants. Greatest Pansies 
yet. Gigantic size, perfectly round, 
fine substance. Sensation wher-

wiss Coronation Gold. Flowers 
canary-yellow with lower petals

ers as much as 8 in. across, with 
slightly ruffled edges. This is the 
best pure yellow pansy. 
Engelmann’s Giant. A special strain 
selected and developed by an Eng- 
lish grower. The plants are dwarf 
and eompact and the huge flowers, 
in many dark and light tones, ap- 
pear early. 
PORTULACA (Rose Moss). For bril- 
liant coloring nothing can excel a bed 
of Portulaca, with its silky flowers 
glistening in the sunlight. It is very 
easily grown and no bedding plant 
equals the Portulaca, for places ex- 
posed to the hot sun of midsummer. 
Very pretty edgings for beds of taller 
plants.

in boxes. Transplant when about 3 
inches tall, setting the plants about 
1 foot apart.

the old favorite, with plants of a 
more compact form.

flower, producing a great profusion of 
beautiful flowers over a long season.

cushion shaped, 2-3 in. across. The 
richly colored, fragrant blossoms on 
long stems make desirable beds, 
borders and cut-flowers. Sow seed as 
soon as ground can be worked, or 
earlier indoors to transplant. 
lue Moon (Imperial Giants). The 
flower is fully double, extremely 
large and deep, 234 inches across 
and 2 to 2% inches deep, about 
the shape of an old-fashioned bee- 
hive. The color is a rich deep 
lavender blue, a shade which main- 
tains its effectiveness indoors or 
out. The plant type is just as great 
an improvement over the old as the 
flower itself. Plants are extremely 
upright growing, tall, 42 to 48 
inches in height as grown on our 
ranches and the long, heavy yet 
wiry stems hold the flowers proudly 
erect, completely eliminating the 
weak necks which are a fault of 
older types.
