HARROLD’S PANSY GARDENS & GREENHOUSES 
Pansy S eed 
Spring Planting of Pansies 
While Pansies in the main are usually planted in July, August and September; 
transplanted outdoors in the fall and wintered either in open beds under mulch, 
or in coldframes for sale the following spring, it is possible and practical to plant 
them during January and February in the greenhouse and obtain good salable 
stock for April and May. In this case they are handled very much the same as 
the popular annuals with the exception that they may be moved out into cold- 
frames or outdoor beds much earlier than most stock without danger of loss. 


Seeds should be sown in fiats filled with three-fourths good garden loam and a 
fourth of well rotted cow manure or rich compost. Sandy loam is preferable or 
soil from which the green part of a heavy sod has been skimmed. It is desirable 
to have a good fiber or humus content to this soil and it will handle better if 
worked through a four to the inch mesh screen. Plant the seeds broadcast on a 
lightly tamped surface and cover lightly with granulated peat moss or the same soil 
as used in the flat. Again tamp lightly. Cover only about ;; inch deep or just 
enough to hide the seeds. Keep in a temperature of 45 to 50 degrees at night 
until germination takes place. Until germination occurs avoid any dryness of 
the seed bed, Afterwards, however, supply just enough moisture to keep the plants 
from suffering. Over watering at this stage will cause trouble from damping 
off. If this should bother reduce moisture still farther and treat the affected area 
liberally with Flowers of Sulphur. Plants should be transplanted from the seeding 
fiat when they have 6 to 8 leaves. 
Grow Pansies continually on the ceo! side and allow geod ventilation on bright 
days. Do not transplant more than 60 plants to the standard florist flat which should 
be 3 inches or more deep. Dirt bands 2x2 inches may be used for transplanting 
with excellent results. As soon as severe freezing is past these plants may be shift- 
ed to unheated frames with glass sash or in milder localities into open beds. If 
glass sash is used over the plants use them only in freezing weather or at night. 
Give the plants all the open sunlight possible. They will make their most rapid 
growth at this stage when nights are cool and days warm and sunny. Pansies may 
easily be moved out of the greenhouse before you require the space for the spread- 
ing of other annual stock and for that reason they are very economical to grow in 
point of equipment time and operation. Except for the months of January and 
February, heat will hardly be required unless it is in the most northerly locations 
and at no time will heat be a critical requirement so long as it is above 38 degrees 
after germination takes place.

IMPORTED PANSY SEED 
This imported Pansy seed is from the foremost European specialists, our same 
pre-war source of these varieties. This group affords some added types of interest 
and supplies cheaper seeds where price is a major consideration. The mixtures do 
in some respects differ from those produced by American specialists and for that 
reason add novelty and scope to your selection. The bedding type separate colors 
are useful where a mass of bright color is desired rather than very large sized indi- 
vidual flowers.

BEDDING TYPE GIANTS IN SEPARATE COLORS 
These do not compare in flower size with other separate colors we offer in the 
above group of American strains. They are valuable because they afford colors 
distinctly characteristic of this group and they do come truer from seed than the 
larger flowering sorts. For borders to give a mass effect or for brilliant and striking 
beds planted to a color plan these are recommended.
