MAX SCHLING’S 
GIANT PANSIES 
If you want them to bloom early in the 
spring, sow the seed in July and August, 
and protect the plants, or, better still, win- 
ter them over in a cold frame until March, 
and plant out in a cool, half-shaded spot, 
and they will bloom in June and continue 
until frost.
