GIGANTEA MARIGOLD 
PANSY, Heartsease (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- 
ous 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.

cellent for edgings and the popular flower 
arrangements. Start in flats, September to
