PANSY, Heartease (a) 
The best known and most popular of all the 
garden flowers. Pansies bloom more freely 
in the sun but bloom longer in half shade 
and have longer stems. The soil should be 
loose, rich and well drained. Frequent feed- 
ing induces giant blooms. The old flowers 
should be cut off. Start the seeds in flats, 
fall or spring. 
Pansy “Best-by-Test” Strain. Several years 
ago we carried on a very thorough test of 
pansy seed which we acquired from vari- 
our pansy growers and selected for listing 
a strain that seemed to us to be the best. 
Each year since we have continued these 
tests. In addition to this we visited many 
seed farms where we saw various strains 
growing. As a result we again offer our 
first choice as our “Best-by-Test” pansy 
strain. The blooms are very large and of 
fine substance, and are produced in great 
abundance on plants that make very uni- 
form growth. The colors are especially 
clear and rich and there is a well-bal- 
anced color range.

next year’s flowering. 2 feet high. Grow in 
sun or part shade and grow best in light 
mellow soil. Best started in flats in spring 
or fall.

PETUNIAS (a) 
In dry seasons or wet, petunias are the most 
colorful, long flowering and adaptable of all 

the annuals, blooming from late spring until 
frost. Interesting for flower arrangements. 
The dwarf ruffled giants are excellent in 
pots, window boxes and borders. 
The balcony type for trailing over window 
boxes and for borders. 
The dwarf bedding varieties are best for 
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. 
Large Flowered Singles 
Dwarf Giants of California. New mammoth 
mixture. No one thing at the California
