PANSIES 
Seed planted in early spring will produce fall blooming plants, some of 
which may be cut back and will winter over. For early spring flowers, sow 
the seed in July and August. 
Pansy seed requires shade and moisture for germination. If provision is made for 
this, our seed, which is fresh and vigorous, will give you good results. 
For Pansy plants see page 67. 
Giant Mixed Pansies 
The New Swiss Giants 
3705—Magnificent Mixture. If you really want extraordinary pansies, by all 
means sow these New Swiss Giants. They are, without exception, the most 
gorgeous pansies we have ever seen. They are of immense size, thick velvety 
texture, and the colors include many of the deep red and brown shades.

Dwarf Swiss Giants 
3704—Dwarf Swiss Mixture. The same gorgeous colors and enormous size found 
in the Swiss Giants but the plants do not grow so tall. This makes them ideal for 
22s 

mass plantings in beds or borders and for bedding among tulips and other spring 
flowering bulbs. 
Early Market Pansies

able. Plants are low and compact. Flowers are of good size and in a 
pleasing range of colors. Pkt. 25c; Lg. Pkt. 50c; 4% Oz. $1.75.

Separate Colors of Giant Pansies 
During the last few years we have missed the mass plantings of these 
gay flowers that give such a “well dressed look” to spring gardens. Noth- 
ing can compare with them in richness of color or their long period of 
bloom. 
3735—White Swiss. Large, pure, creamy white flowers on very compact 
plants. In our field they continued to bloom all summer and the plants 
remained very compact. 
3736—Rose Shades. You will want some of these for the colors are lovely 
and blend with all the spring flowers. 
3737—Coronation Gold. A large warm yellow pansy with no blotches. 
Beautiful when planted alone or with other colors. 
3738—Blue Swiss (Ullswater). A new color of unusual beauty and 
delicacy. They are a clear, rich blue with blue-black blotches. The low, 
compact plants are in full bloom from May until November and the 
plants are never tall or floppy. 
3739—Red Swiss. Large rich glowing reddish mahogany.

Violas or Tufted Pansies 
Although not so large as pansies they bloom more profusely and over a 
longer period. Planted in clumps they brighten perennial borders in spring. 
If sheared in mid-summer they make new compact growth and masses of 
bloom in the fall. If given a light protection of straw or evergreen boughs, 
a Thanksgiving cutting is possible. Bloom the first year if seed is sown in 
early spring. 
3760—Mixed Colors. Biennial. Our mixture contains yellows, white, lilac, 
violet and two-color combinations.

bright orange at the edge of petals. One of the showiest.

“T wish to thank you for all the helpful information on pansies which you 
sent me when I ordered seed last year. I did not plant all of the seed, bul 
planted enough so that I had as large a crop as I could attend to, and sold 100 
dozen plants, plus what I planted around the house and gave to close friends. 
Due to your excellent seed and information, which enabled me to give them the 
best of care, I had an excellent crop. Not only did I receive unanimous praise 
from customers on the quality and beauty of the pansy plants but I realized a 
good profit on my investment and work.”
