Burpee’s Giant Pansies 
Pansies always have beena great specialty with us and we are justly proud of the quality 
and trueness to type of our strains. Pansies succeed best in rich, well-drained soil in a 
sunny position, and produce their finest flowers in the cool, early days of spring. Keep 
flowers picked during the summer, plants pinched back, and you will get a nice lot of 
flowers again in the fall.
