Spring Culture of Pansies 
While Pansies in the main are usually planted in July, August and September; 
transplanted outdoors in the fall and wintered either in open beds under mulch, 
or in coldframes for sale the following spring, it is possible and practical to plant 
them during January and February in the greenhouse and obtain good salable 
stock for April and May. In this case they are handled very much the same as 
the popular annuals with the exception that they may be moved out into cold- 
frames or outdoor beds much earlier than most stock without danger of loss. 
Seeds should be sown in flats filled with three-fourths good garden loam and a 
fourth of well rotted cow manure or rich compost. Sandy loam is preferable or 
soil from which the green part of a heavy sod has been skimmed. It is desirable 
to have a good fiber or humus content to this soil and it will handle better if 
worked through a four to the inch mesh screen. Plant the seeds broadcast on a 
lightly tamped surface and cover lightly with granulated peat moss or the same soil 
as used in the flat.. Again tamp lightly, Cover only about ;; inch deep or just 
enough to hide the seeds. Keep in a temperature of 45 to 50 degrees at night 
until germination takes place. Until germination occurs avoid any dryness of 
the seed bed. Afterwards, however, supply just enough moisture to keep the plants 
from suffering. Over watering at this stage will cause trouble from damping 
off. If this should bother reduce moisture still farther and treat the affected area 
liberally with Flowers of Sulphur. Plants should be transplanted from the seedling 
flat when they have 6 to 8 leaves. 
Grow Pansies continually on the cool side and allow good ventilation on bright 
days. Do not plant more than 60 plants to the standard florist flat which should 
be 3 inches or more deep. Dirt bands 2x2 inches may be used for transplanting 
with excellent results. As soon as severe freezing is past these plants may be shift- 
ed to unheated frames with glass sash or in milder localities into open beds. If 
glass sash is used over the plants use them only in freezing weather or at night. 
Give the plants all the open sunlight possible. They will make their most rapid 
growth at this stage when nights are cool and days warm and sunny. Pansies may 
easily be moved out of the greenhouse before you require the space for the spread- 
ing of other annual stock and for that reason they are very economical to grow in 
point of equipment time and operation. Except for the months of January and 
February, heat will hardly be required unless it is in the most northerly locations 
and at no time will heat be a critical requirement so long as it is above 38 degrees 
after germination takes place. 
Because of the scarcity of these plants this year and the demand which is sure 
to be heavy, we can not stress too greatly the advisability of making a spring 
sowing of them. Prices which can be obtained on good stock that you can still 
grow should easily make them one of your most profitable items.

PANSY PLANTS 
We had reported these all sold, which they virtually are when our stock gets 
below 100,000. We stopped selling over a month ago so as to be sure of having 
stock to fill orders then on hand and in most cases, except for an item or two, we 
will be able to do this. There is still about 65,000 September sown seedlings of 
6 to 8 leaf size which we can still offer. As they are composed of varying quantit- 
ies of several of our best mixtures and separate colors we offer them subject to 
stock available on receipt of order. If you want separate colors specify preference 
and we’ll fill with them if still available. If not a general mixture will be sent. 
All stock remaining is of our best strains, 
PRICES subject to prior sale are $1.50 per 100; $10.00 per 1,000. 
Terms: strictly cash with order. Less than 250 takes the 100 rate.

PERENNIAL PLANTS 
One Year Old Field Grown 
These plants are all one year old field grown in sandy loam soil and will be 
ideal for planting now or in the spring. As with most growers our stock is modest, 
Far less than the quantities we usually grew before the war and for this reason 
‘we. suggest early ordering of any item that interests you.

Hardy Primroses 
After 7 years breeding work with Primula polyantha and veris and their 
hybrids, we believe this to be a group of plants which the Florist and Nurseryman 
will find most valuable. The new strains thrive over a wider range of cultural 
conditions and are hardy anywhere in the U. S. Modern strains are less exacting 
as to culture although they do best in a situation which has always proven 
favorable. An eastern exposure protected from noon and afternoon sun and drying 
winds; under light tree shade is ideal. Coolness, some shade, ample moisture, good 
drainage and medium light woodland type of soil gives best results although the 
plants have a good tolerance. They are ideal rockgarden subjects and once estab- 
lished should not be disturbed over a period of 3 or 4 years. They are as hardy 
as Pansies and will winter under about the same conditions. 
Culture is Simple 
Seeds may be sown at almost any time of the year that they can be procured. 
They may be planted from June to Oct. out of doors or in coldframes; or in flats 
indoors from October to late April or May. New crop seeds usually are ready in 
July or August. 
The seedling soil should be light and seeds covered but lightly. A liberal use, 
about 4%,th. well rotted cow manure is good. We plant by the Purdue method on 
top of 4% inch of sphagnum moss that has been rubbed through a % inch screen 
and firmed over top of flat with a block. After firming moss should be about Yth. 
inch thick. Plant on top of moss but do not cover. A pane of glass should be kept 
over flat until germination is complete. This method avoids damping off and gives 
maximum germination. Avoid excessive moisture but see that the moss is kept 
damp at all times. If covering the seeds with soil or other media do not apply 
more than 14th. inch. Keep bed shaded until germination is complete. 
As the seedlings become large enough, about 4 to 6 leaves, prick off into flats 
and keep in a cool, moist and partly shaded situation. As they are large enough 
shift from flats to permanent bed or individual pots. If into pots, plunge to the rim 
in soil to maintain low soil: temperature and even moisture. Again protect from 
severe sun until established. When setting into their final bed add humus, leafmold 
and/or well rotted cow manure to the soil as the established plant likes a deep, 
moist, rich loamy soil that is well drained. We do not advise the use of commercial 
chemical fertilizers but cow manure can be used liberally. 
Late Winter and Spring sown plants may be set into their permanent bed in 
Sept., Oct. or later depending on locality and climate. Sowings planted in Summer 
and Fall are best set into outdoor beds early the following Spring. Plants may 
also be propagated by dividing old plants in the Fall. These divisions will bloom 
the following Spring but seedling plants will be a year old when they bloom.
