Pitzouka's PRIZE MIXTURE 
Here is your chance to have quantities of 
those rich, melting colors that you so much 
admire. In our Prize Mixture we have included 
the very best of these tones—warm red, pink, 
brown, yellow, lavender, blue and black, with 
a large proportion of solid colors and unusual 
markings. The mixture is kept uniform by 
selecting a definite proportion of each color 
and by continual roguing—that is, pulling 
up and discarding every plant bearing flowers 
that do not come up to our standards. With a 
mixture like this, offered at popular prices, It is 
now possible for every garden to have a satis- 
fying planting of Pansies. This is our all- 
purpose bedding mixture that Is sure to provide 
a lovely display of these charming flowers. 
Regular size plants, $2.50 per 100, 
$20.00 per 1000, 5000 or more at $18.50 
per 1000. 
Large size plants, $3.50 per 100, $30.00 
per 1000. 
One of the nicest things about Pansies is their gen- 
erosity in blooming. The more you pick, the more you 
have. When plants get long runners, take some of the 
foliage with the stems, to encourage new growth. 
If Your Pansy Bed is Pining — 
Changing the location of a Pansy bed or 
adding fresh soil to an old bed often improves 
it. Fall plantings are most successful. In 
the northern states late September and 
October is the best time to plant, in the 
central states early October through Novem- 
ber, and in the extreme South from No- 
vember 15 on. 
If plants that have been set out 
for several weeks do not look very 
vigorous, apply a reliable fertilizer 
with an analysis of 5-10-5 and water 
it down well. Humus is indispen- 
sable, for it aerates the ground and 
keeps it cool. Occasional cultivation 
is also helpful. When the ground is 
frozen hard and a salt hay or 
straw mulch is put on top of the 
plants for the winter, be careful 
not to make the mulch too thick. 
The plants should still be visible 
through the covering. 
PITZONKA'S PRIZE MIXTURE 
Pansies are excellent companion plants for any number of spring-flowering 
bulbs. Here they are used beside double narcissus and hyacinths. The velvety 
Pansy colors mix with everything. Better effects are to be had if the Pansy plants 
are massed, so that the countless blends of color may be seen. In this way the 
plants cover the ground surface and prevent it from baking. In bouquets too, 
Pansies are easily combined with many other kinds of flowers.
