SPEGIAPHIES 
Pansies 
CHOICE PLANTS EXCEPTIONALLY FINE, LARGE FLOWERING 
Not much need be said about our Giant Pansies as they sell themselves on sight 
in the Spring. 
Out of continuous trials we have selected some few varieties as most suitable for 
this area. They are the very best kinds from two of the finest sources of seed 
growers. Consisting of Steele’s Mastadon Jumbos Mixed, Steele’s Super Swiss “400” 
Mixed, and Clarke’s Hybrid Blend. We have also added for solid colors: “Pay Dirt,” 
one of the finest yellows, and Thunersee, a clear blue. 
We have named this combination of TRUE ORIGINATOR’S STRAINS: 
“BEHNKE’S SPECIAL BLEND” 
TRANSPLANTED—Fieldgrown—in bud or bloom. Strong healthy plants, really clumps:

Bhododendrons 
Somewhere in your garden there should be a place where a few Rhododendrons 
would show off to good advantage. 
As a rule people are under the impression that Rhododendrons should always be 
planted in the shade or part shade. On the contrary, these Hybrids will thrive excel- 
lently and can be recommended for full sun as long as the soil is prepared properly and 
they receive sufficient water and a good mulch. 
Too many Rhododendrons transplanted from entirely different climatic condi- 
tions, mountainous terrains, have been transplanted into this area with its low altitude 
and these Rhododendrons when taken out of their natural environment could never 
take real hold under our conditions here. 
We have had a great many varieties in our test gardens for a number of years 
under all conditions and a visit to our nursery will convince you that Hybrid Rhodo- 
dendrons are ideally suited for our Washington climate. 
Requirements for Rhododendrons are few and easily followed. Whether you 
plant them as specimens, in your shrub border, or in front of the house, they will 
always make a good show. But they must have good drainage, wherever you plant 
them.
