295,000 S. Remarkable strides in Pansy breeding have been made within the 
past few years. Although they’ve been popular favorites for generations, at 
‘no time has there been as much interest in Pansies as there is today. And 
Pansy breeders are largely responsible for this great increase in their popu- 
larity. Through our extensive travels among specialty producers of Pansy 
‘seed, and our exhaustive trials of different strains (over 70 last year), we 
feel confident that this list includes the world’s finest. Better try some of 
the newer things offered here. 
Pansies sown during January in the central and northern states will make 
fresh, vigorous flowering plants in April grown at 50° after transplanting 
into bands or PlanTrays. Use soil low in nitrates. The different, healthy 
appearance compared to “basket” Pansies will increase your profits, and 
give your customers earlier and better looking plants. Try it for yourself.
