Few bedding plants are as popular as Pansies or can be more easily 
produced. About 60% of the seasons crop is normally planted outdoors in 
July, August and September, being wintered in cold frames or under just a 
light mulch of straw or marsh hay although evergreen boughs or light brush 
is just as effective. 
This summer planting, however, does not fill all the needs, either from 
the standpoint of timing or supply needed. For that reason many growers 
make plantings in cold greenhouses through late November and December 
giving just enough heat if needed to get the seeds germinated and to keep 
the young seedlings from freezing too hard. Heat applied then in February 
and later will soon bring these seedlings into saleable stock for April and 
May sale. They can be moved outside as soon as weather will permit to 
clear the house room for spring schedules. 
Another large block of Pansies are usually planted right along with the 
earlier of the spring bedding plants during January and February and these 
plantings made up to mid-February, with normal temperatures given such 
stock as Snaps, Petunias and other similar bedders, will give nice saleable. 
plants coming into first bloom in late April and May. For mid-summer beds 
in the cooler climates the seeds may also be planted in the bed right where 
they are to bloom as early as the ground can be worked and these plantings 
can be depended on to make a very desirable showing during late summer 
and throughout the fall. Also this late spring planting can usually be carried 
over for the earliest displays the following spring. 
Pansies are a far more adaptable plant than realized by many growers 
and gardeners so that it is well to give consideration to the planting of them 
over a much wider seasonal range than is often practiced. In planning these 
plantings you will find it practical and advisable to use HARROLD’S 
PEDIGREED PANSY SEEDS.
