Mile. Irene — Copper red, bronze red, and henna shades. 
Lighter and brighter than Gorgeous. Some brillant pure 
red tones. Fine to add red to your mixture. 
Improved Adonis — Light blue shades. We have rogued 
faded blues and off tones. This strain is of part Jumbo 
type light blues. Most flowers show small white face in 
center of bloom, marked with dark blotches. Very fine to 
augment Butterfly Hybrids which lack blue. Size has 
been improved and is better than ever before.

compact plants covered with blooms. An excellent strain 
‘for color effects and the largest pure white.

DIRECTIONS FOR GERMINATING SEED 
1. Have your soil clean and pulverized to a depth of six 
or more inches. 
2. On the level surface spread evenly a layer of compost 
or pulverized well rotted manure to a depth of at least one 
inch. 
3. - Overlay compost with half inch of the best soil you 
have, thoroughly pulverized. 
4. Rake down and tamp surface true and smooth. 
5. Soak down the bed to several inches. 
6. Treat seed with Copper oxide or Semesan and sow in 
shallow drills or broadeast. Cover with a sifted mixture of 
two parts of peat moss to one part of compost. The depth of 
this covering should be about one-eighth inch. 
~ 
7. Use spray of water to moisten surface, after hght 
burlap cover is on. Do not use heavily chlorinated water if 
avoidable. 
8. Allowing plenty of ventilation, keep your beds moist, 
quite moist, but not soaking wet, until plants come up. 
We use cheapest grade of burlap to retain moisture. As 
soon as plants begin to come through freely, we remove bur- 

lap permanently and sift tops of beds with thin layer of 
peat moss. To avoid damping off, water your seedlings 
VERY SPARINGLY. 
Maintain constant moisture during the day but never 
allow seed beds to go into the evening overly moist. Any 
dryness after seeds sprout is absolutely fatal. These direc- 
tions are for sowing in the open field, but will apply when 
using flats or cold frames. WE: USE 200 TO 225 SQUARE 
FEET TO SOW AN OUNCE OF SEED BROADCAST. 
CAUTION— Alternate your pansy crop with some other 
crop. 
If your fall seedlings are not growing rapidly enough, 
fertilizer is the answer. The same goes for late winter and 
spring. Feed them often and cultivate frequently for top 
results and maximum profits that you should get from our 
seed. 
The usually high germinating qualities of Steele’s Mas- 
todon Pansy Seed is a revelation to all extensive growers 
who use our stock. Owing to uniformity required in produe- 
ing separate colors, the average size is not equal to the types 
of flowers found in our mixtures. We strongly advise mix- 
tures for your main crop, and you save money thereby.

We are originators of Mastodon Pansies, and any seed
