A.B.C. PANSIES 
In the event you have overlooked providing sufficient pansies for spring 
sales, a sowing can be made to good advantage in January. Sow in 
flats and carry in a carnation house temperature until seedlings are ready 
to transplant, which should also be done in flats and set in a cold house; 
later moved out to protected frames. _ 
The Mixtures Every Florist Should Use

composed of hand picked seed from individual plants, selected

cut flowers as well.
