OUR FORTY-SECOND YEAR 
Having two years experience since the adoption of this form of trade list we are making improvements in its format in an effort to make it more 
useful to you. 
For the duration we shall issue only this series of folders scattered over the active seasons of the year. 
A copy of each edition will 
be mailed to all customers of record, as well as all tradesmen who have requested them in the past two years, as each issue is printed. 
As in the past, it will be our endeavor to offer in each issue the group of stock that is of immediate interest but it should be remembered that most 
seed items are available throughout the year. 
a complete catalogue of our stock at all times. 
In regard to prices, we hope to maintain these as stable as market conditions permit and will try and keep these current in each list. 
For that reason we suggest that you keep a complete file of these folders as by so doing you will have 
In the event that copies become lost another can always be obtained on request. 
In all cases, 
of course, the quotation on any group of stock given in the latest published issue will apply - subject to unforeseen market changes, taxes or govern- 
ment regulations which force a change in price. 
In such case these prices are subject to change without notice according to usual trade practice. 

Pansies Are Getting Scarce 
There Already Exists A Shortage Of Pansy Plants 
Better plant seeds NOW for any additional Pansies you will need 
during April and May. 
Pansy seeds planted by the large wholesale plant growers last summer and 
fall were substantially below plantings made by these growers in the past because 
of lack of help. Because of this there is not now the normal quantity of Pansy 
plants available to cover the trade demand. While many growers planted a little 
more heavily for their individual needs this was not a really general condition as 
we have discovered from the extreme demand made upon our plant stocks last 
fall. From the beginning of the fall plant shipping season Oct. ist., until the 
holiday shutdown Dec. 10th., we had shipped more Pansy plants than we normal- 
ly do by March ist. This leaves our stock limited (about 150,000) for the spring 
shipping season. In fact about 25% of normal. Similar conditions have been re- 
ported to us by other growers so that ‘‘scarce’’ is the prospect. Because of these 
conditions we recommend IMMEDIATE ordering of your plant requirements OR 
THE PLANTING OF ADDITIONAL SEEDS NOW! 
There is adequate seed available in our stock in all verieties offered here to 
meet a reasonable increase in spring planting and we can render good, prompt 
service on your requirements for these. ORDER AT ONCE! 
SPRING CULTURE OF PANSIES 
The sowing of Pansy seeds in winter for spring sale is not as widely 
practiced as it should or could be. While this method does not give the large 
plant size and early flowers that is obtained with Aug. planting and fall trans- 
planting, it does afford a source of good stock to meet the vast bedding plant 
market of late March, April and May. Germination is higher and less care is 
required to grow the maximum number of plants from a given quantity of seed 
than when planting in late summer. Little heat is needed except during the actual 
period of germination (a 50 degree night temperature is best) and the plants 
can be shifted outside into cold frames or a protected situation as soon as the 
severe weather is over making them a plant of modest cost to grow. 
Using a rich sandy loam soil, plant in flats or greenhouse bench in Jan, if 
possible. Stock for mid-May can, however, be grown from plantings made as late 
as Feb. 20th., if pushed along a little. Cover seeds lightly (not over 7; inch) with 
same material or pure granulated peat moss. Keep moist but not soaked until 
germination takes place in 7 to 10 days. As soon as seed leaves have unfolded 
hold on the dry side to prevent damping off giving just enough water to keep the 
plants coming along nicely. 
For best spring plants seedlings may be flat transplanted when the sixth 
leaf has developed and then reset into cold frames as soon as heavy ground 
freezing is over outside. If sown thinly and carried cold they may be successfully 
set directly into the outside beds from the seedling flat although development will 
not be as rapid this way. Soil into which all transplanting is done will benefit by 
a liberal application of rotted cow manure or a commercial 4-12-4 formula will 
give good results. Bone meal may be added to the transplanting soil for the long 
pull of development also. Soil acidity should be about pH6.8 or Sudbury B. 
Drainage MUST be good. Handled in this manner you will be pleasantly surprised 
how easily a nice, profitable lot of stock can be grown and you'll need it this 
spring.
