: ‘ : L © a K A Gs Pansies are one of the oldest and one of the best-loved 
flowers in the garden. Their velvety “faces” appeal to young 
and old alike, and their delicious fragrance makes them espe- 
cially welcome in the house. 
By specializing in the growing of Pansy plants we have 
been able to produce just about the finest that 1t ts possible 
to buy. Our Cut-flower Mixture, among others, has been 
procured through years of seed selection. The plants are com- 
pact and sturdy, with strong 6-inch stems that are ideal for 
cutting. 
To keep your Pansy plants at the peak of production, be 
sure to pick the flowers regularly. Never allow a seed head to 
form, for that will stop the plant from blooming. As the season 
progresses and the plants tend to become leggy, pick the stems 
well down toward the ground, with some leaves attached to 
each flower stem. This will encourage new growth.
