HOW TO: GROW PANSIES 
PLANT ONLY [SS 
FRESH SEED k=. 
Use Fresh seed only. Old seed will 
not make good stands and poor 
quality seed will germinate un- 
evenly. Buy only the best. Plant 
September and October to flower in 
green houses or set out in open in 
the spring for summer blooms 
In planting, press roots firmly and 
deeply in soil. Put a trowelful of 
peat in bottom of hole before plant- 
A sandy, loam soil is best, altho they 
will do well in any good light soil 
A good location is one not over- 
shadowed by trees or exposed too 
much to the hot, dry sun. Dig soil 
deeply, then mixing well with peat 
moss, plant seed in light soil and 
transplant to boxes when good roots 
have formed. 

If exhibition flowers are wanted, al- 
low 4 to 6 shoots to each plant, the 
remaining ones being removed or 
pinched out. Picking blooms fre- 
quently lengthens their blooming

When the Great Designer planned the Zinnias it just seems 
like He designed them for Texas because they really 
stretch out and make themselves at home around here, 
bearing flowers, it seems, just prettier than anywhere else. 
If you wants lots of color ... and quick ... we really urge 
you to plant Staffel’s Zinnias. Probably no other flower 
has such an assortment of color ranges and from the tiny 
Lilliput to the Giants of California they all offer a fortune in bloom from early summer to heavy frost. Plant them in most 
any kind of soil, keep the sowbugs off of them with Staffel’s Bug Bait, and treat yourself to months of pleasure.
