ansies . . . OREGON GIANTS 
Why not grow some pansies this year? We are 
florists and are always on the lookout for the very 
best to be had in every plant we grow and these 
Oregon giants are the best pansies we have found. 
Blossoms are huge with long strong stems,, heavy 
foliage and wonderful colors. 
For spring blooming when pansies are at their 
best sow in July or August and transplant them and 
they should begin to bloom in the fall and the next 
spring they will be at their best. If you have facilities 
to sow inside you can sow them in January or February 
and they will be fine for spring blooming. In some parts 
of the country you can plant in September or October 
but not in the north. 
Last fall we had the largest and most gorgeous 
pansies | ever saw. They bloomed from September till December. We leave them out all winter 
and sell the plants in the spring. They bloom very early. 
Prices—Best mixture—1 packet, 500 seeds, $1.00; 14 oz. $6.00; 1 oz. $12.00. Seeds are

BOOKS 
Send for catalog of books on gardening subjects. We have a large list to select from. 
Here are two good books on gladiolus— 
THE GLADIOLUS—by Rockwell. This is a book published some years ago that gives full in- 
formation about growing and other phases of the gladiolus and also explains the technique of 
hybridizing. The list of varieties recommended of course is out of date. But the list in any book 
very soon becomes obsolete as every year new varieties are coming along and others passing 
out. PRICE $1.75—Or given with a $15.00 order of bulbs, if you ask for it and if you haven't 
already received a copy. 
FLOWER ARRANGEMENT—by Rockwell and Grayson. This is by far the best book published 
on flower arrangement. Contains 217 illustrations, many in color. PRICE $4.95.
