FRIENDLY PANSIES The Charming Bleeding Heart 
B2299—To us, Pansies, with their cute smil- 
ing faces, always seem like the friendly little 
children of the flower world. It is a fact 
that they are beloved by all gardeners, and 
they usually are the first choice of young- 
sters. If you want to encourage a child to 
grow flowers, start him with pansies. 
Bleeding Hearts are splendid used in the 
perennial border, in front of evergreens or 
shrubs, or at the foundation with other 
partial shade-loving flowers. They will do 
well in a sunny spot but feel more at home 
in partial shade. They make an excellent 
companion plant for tulips, and a combi- 
nation that has been popular for many 
years is Bluebells and Bleeding Heart. They 
harmonize well and will come up together for 
years. Bleeding Heart also is recommended for 
banks and walls facing north to east. 
B2009—FERN LEAVED BLEEDING HEART. Makes a 
mound of filmy, fern-like foliage 12 to 15 inches 
high, thickly set all summer long with clusters of tiny 
pink hearts. 49c each; 2 for 89c; 3 for 1.19, postpaid. 
B2010—OLD FASHIONED BLEEDING HEART. Often called 
the “jewel of the garden’’. In late May and early June 
an abundance of pink heart shaped blossoms gently 
sway in the wind along the branches. The plants 
eventually grow about 3 feet high and 3 or 4 feet 
Welch’s Green Queen Pansies bear great ruffled 
and frilled blossoms of all the colors of the rain- 
bow, and bear them in great profusion. They 
bloom early, and the more you pick them the more 
they bloom. In fact, you should keep them 
picked so they won’t go to seed and stop bloom- 
ing. Our pansies are grown from the finest seed 
available. All plants are strong and healthy, and 
will bloom shortly after planting. 
season in the border among Tulips, Grape Hya- 
cinths, Scillas, Snowdrops and Narcissus. They 
also are very good as a floral edging for a rose 
bed, or as a groundcover in the rose bed. They 
make beautiful, fragrance cut flowers, and will 
last longer cut if arranged in shallow bowls with 
Pansies like fertile well-drained soil and will do 
well in either full sun or light shade, but prefer 
the sunlight. Plant them to extend the blooming
