PANSY, HOAG’S PRIZE STRAIN 
PANSIES 
Pansies thrive best in a partially shaded location and in a loose 
soil, well enriched with decayed manure, which should be well 
dug into the soil. Seed should be sown in the fall for early spring 
~« blooming and early in the year until May for good flowers later 
in the spring and summer. The seed should be sown in boxes 
‘covering them not more than four times their diameter and firm- 
ing the soil well above them. Do not allow the seed to dry out. 
Plants must be transplanted twice in order to get the largest 
flowers; once from the seed box to a sheltered bed and again to 
the open ground. For best results, you should start a good strain. 
The finest pansies are, as a rule, shy seeders, which accounts 
for the difference in price of the various mixtures offered.

PETUNIAS, GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 
PETUNIA 
No flower surpasses the Petunia for massing in beds: Their 
richness of color, duration of bloom, and easy culture will always 
render them popular. They do well sown in open border in spring, 
or earlier in the cold frame or hotbed, and transplanted 18 inches 
apart. By the latter process they will come into bloom much 
earlier. Be careful not to cover the small seeds too deeply. It is 
well known that seeds of double varieties do not all produce 
double flowers, generally about 25 per cent. Save the weaker 
seedlings, as they usually give the finest double flowers.
