Profitable 
25,000 S. There are two basic schedules for growing Pansies for 
bedding plant sales: 
Midwinter Sowing in December or January. After they have germ- 
inated carry them along as cool as possible till spring—transplant 
them into frames in March (Chicago latitude) for May sales. Carl 
Hellgren, Glenbard Gardens, Lombard, Ill, sows early December, 
transplants 30 to a “half flat”, and carries them in a cold house 
35-40° till March 1. Then he sets them out in frames where they 
start to bloom early May and are sold for $1.50 per flat. 
Summer Sowing. (Early August.) This is the most popular time 
for establishing plants which are spaced about 4 x 6 in. in frames, 
given some protection over winter—loose straw, perhaps. Plants 
should be well established before winter sets in—even budded so 
that blooms will be available early in the spring to help sell the 
plants.
