World Famous Pauses 
(25,000 seeds per oz.) 
There is nothing in the entire range of flowers that will 
charm or delight so many, at such reasonable cost, as will 
Pansies. Gardeners anxiously await the first blooms as real 
harbingers of spring, and eagerly ask for plants long before 
other bedding stock is called for. The experience that some have 
had with the hardened, yellow plants sold out of flats in 
grocery stores can result in more business for any grower who 
is willing to give his Pansies a little extra care and attention. 
This, plus good seed, spells the difference. 
In the latitude of Chicago, Pansies are usually sown early in 
August. As far south as Oklahoma this should be delayed until 
around September |, because of prolonged hot summers. Sow- 
ing is best done in outdoor frame covered with cloth and in light 
soil containing plenty of decayed organic matter. Close atten- 
tion to moisture is essential. When large enough to handle, 
seedlings are transplanted 4 x 4 or 4 x 6 inches into frames or 
open beds. Some form of loose covering is desirable in the north 
after plants are frozen in—further south this protection is 
not so important. 
Comparative trials of the world’s leading Pansy strains have

tence today.
