PANSY 
These are strictly biennials, but as they flower easily the first season from seed they are often started 
indoors in February or March to bloom outdoors from July on. Most plants are grown from seed sown 
in frames during July and August, transplanted later and wintered over with protection, to give full- 
flowering plants by the followmg May. If Pansy seed is sown in the garden bed in May, some beautiful 
flowers are produced on the plants by fall of the same year. They like a rich, loamy soil and full sun.

mixture. The plants are more compact and most of the flowers are beautifully frilled. They are of 
perfect form, with thick, velvety, rounded petals in a color-range beyond belief, many 5-blotched. 
PETUNIA 
For a gorgeous display of color from early summer to frost, there is nothing to compare with the Pe- 
tunia. Thriving in most soils and under varied conditions, it gives more genuine satisfaction and plea- 
sure than any other flower. Petunias are ideal for many purposes—as bedding plants for edging; for 
color accents in the mixed border; for the rock-garden, window-boxes, and for pot culture. The many 
classes or types of this versatile flower have been improved to a high degree, and today there is no Jack 
of ideal varieties to suit each requirement. In January or February sow the seed of pot-plant varieties 
indoors to have flowering plants ready for spring. For well-grown spring bedding plants start the seed 
indoors in February or March. Don’t over-cover the seed, and 60 to 70-degree temperature gives the 
best germination. Transplant the seedlings to flats of fairly stiff soil and grow cool, on the dry side, 
and close to the glass. This avoids soft, overgrown plants. The Balcony and Bedding varieties may 
also be sown in May direct to the garden bed and thinned out to stand 10 to 12 inches apart.
