PLANTING SCHEDULE FOR 
PANSIES and VIOLAS 
FOR THE COMMERCIAL GROWER 
These suggestions are made as a guide to commercial growers of Pansies and Violas as a guide 
to those who have not before been planting them or to refresh the memory of the old grower 
that it is now time to plan for spring sales. 
NORTHERN STATES: 
This includes all states where frosts come early and where the plants should be given a good 
start to winter well. 
For bedding types plant first planting during July, usually sometime between the 15th. and 
20th. A second planting should be made about Aug. ist. and a third planting the 15th. to 20th. 
These will develop successively giving a good supply of prime plants throughout the entire 
spring selling season. : 
INTERMEDIATE STATES: F 
This includes all states where frost is not to be expected until after the middle of October 
and where winters are seldom much below zero. Early planting here is not so essential, 
advisable or in some cases not to be recommended. 
Spring sales stock here should be planted no earlier than the last week of July with a second 
planting about Aug. 15th. and a third planting the end of August. In spite of later planting 
more winter growth occurs and early planting may result in plants too large when sales 
season starts. 
WARM SOUTHERN STATES: 
This includes all areas where temperatures are not apt to drop below 10 to 12 degrees above 
zero as well as those where the Pansies will grow and bloom all winter as in the Southern 
States, and along the Pacific Coast. In fact in many of these areas Pansies should be grown 
-@8 a winter flower. ; 
Fall and winter sales stock should be planted from Aug. lst. to 10th. These will bloom by 
Thanksgiving in these climates. A second planting should be made about mid-Aug., a third 
around Sept. ist. and a last planting Sept. 10th. to 15th. 
SPECIAL PURPOSE VARIETIES: 
This includes Cut-flower and Pot Pansies for winter culture indoors. 
Plant. early and through Sept. Should be grown with same treatment as bedding stock until 
they reach early bud stage when they are brought indoors for forcing. Grow in a cool house, 
as far from the glass as possible and supply good ventilation and moisture. 
TRANSPLANTING: 
Don’t do this when plants are too small. They are best transplanted when they have at least 
6 to 8 leaves. Use much care to transplant at proper depth - the same at which they grew 
in the seedling bed. In severe climates do this early enough to get over shock of setting 
before severe cold and ground freezing. 
PLAN YOUR PANSY CROP NOW! 
We will probably offer but very limited quantities of Pansy plants this fall to the trade - none 
in spring and no Violas. Our facilities are required for seed production and retail plants. We 
shall be glad to refer plant inquiries to our growers who plant for this trade both at the whole- 
sale and retail levels.
