NASTURTIUM. This valuable annual with vivid 
single or double flowers of yellow, orange or red, thrives 
in a sunny position or in shade. An overly rich soil 
will cause the plants to produce more leaves than flow- 
ers. The brilliant colors and refreshing fragrance of 
the flowers make them ideal for cutting. Nasturtiums 
are subject to pernicious black lice which, if unchecked 
by a nicotine spray (See page 36), completely ruin the 
plants. Start in the house April 21st or in the garden

PANSIES 
The Pansy is one of the most alluring flowers in the garden. This is especially true of the improved Pansy 
strains which we offer. The flowers are beautiful in beds by themselves and are excellent used in edging or plant- 
ing with bulbs such as Tulips, Snowdrops, Crocus, and Narcissi. Just as the bulbs finish blooming the pansies 
will be at their best. Pansy seed may be sown as soon as the soil can be worked in the Spring for Summer flower- 
ing or in August for early Spring flowering. 
Spring sowings should be made early in a coldframe or in boxes in a cool window in the house. Transplant 
the seedlings as soon as they are large enough to where they are to bloom. The flowers should be picked frequently 
to keep the plants active. 
The largest and earliest flowers are produced on plants grown from seed started the previous summer. Seed 
should be sown in a coldframe in August and carefully shaded and watered. When the plants are large enough 
they may be transplanted in the coldframe to 4 inches apart to be set out where wanted in the Spring or may 
be transplanted directly to beds—set them 9 inches apart. 
Beds should be rich, manure spaded in 4 to 6 weeks in advance of planting isbest. After the ground is frozen, 
plants both in the coldframes and open ground should be covered with straw to prevent them from heaving by 
alternate freezing and thawing. Uncover gradually in the Spring.
