Selected 
Pansy seed requires shade and moisture for germin- 
ation. If provision is made for this, our seed, which is 
fresh and vigorous, will give you good results. The 
size of both plants and blossoms is benefitted by liber- 
P A Ra S | i & al applications of fertilizer to the soil in which they are 
transplanted.’ 
Have you ever planted the separate colors of 
Giant Pansies? 
SEPARATE COLORS 
OF GIANT PANSIES 
Although the blooms are not so large as the 
variegated pansies they bloom more profusely 
and over a longer period. If sheared in mid- 
summer they make new compact growth and 
abundant bloom in the fall. Bloom -the first 
year if seed is sown in early spring. 8 in.

flowers on very compact plants. In our field 
they continued to bloom all summer and the 
plants remained very compact. 
3736—Rose Shades. Shades of deep rich rose 
and rosy tones which are rarely seen in pansy 
mixtures. 
3737 —Coronation Gold. A large warm yellow 
pansy with no blotches. Beautiful when planted 
alone or with other colors.

If a light mulch of leaves or straw is thrown 
over them, it is possible to have pansies for 
Thanksgiving here in our gardens. 
Seed planted outdoors in the spring will pro- 
duce fall blooming plants with quantities of 
enormous long-stemmed flowers until freezing 
weather. 
For early spring flowers, sow the seed in 
July and August. 
We plant a large number of varieties and 
strains in our Trial Grounds to be sure that we
