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.

The New Swiss Giants 
3705—Magnificent Mixture. If you really want extraordinary pansies, by all

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.

Separate Colors of Giant Pansies

“Based on many years experience with Pansies, my high opinion of Harris’ 
Seeds was recently confirmed by the large percentage of germination (I think 
100%) of your Maple Leaf Giant Pansy seed in 3 days. Your strains of 
flowers and vegetables are almost unique in their superiority to strains from 
other sources.”

Annual Varieties 
We have seen so many poppies in country door 
yards this summer that we feel this gay old time 
favorite must be getting “stylish” again. Seed 
may be sown in early spring or in the fall. Sow 
where the plants are to remain, since they are 
difficult to transplant.

especially fine mixture containing double, 
semi-double and single flowers. Many of the
