PANSIES 
The best results are secured by sowing in 
late July or August and protecting the young 
plants over winter with a covering of strawy 
manure or a deep blanket of leaves. They will 
then be ready to begin blooming as soon as 
the weather opens up in the spring and will 
continue to flower until hot weather. The next 
best time to sow is very early in the spring, 
in February or March, starting the seed in a 
box indoors or in a coldframe and setting the 
plants outdoors the latter part of April. If set 
out in a spot that is shaded part of the day, 
where the soil is deep and moist, and the 
flowers picked daily, the plants may be kept 
blooming all summer.

POPPY 
Papaver 
Although the Poppies last for only a short 
time, while they are in bloom no flowers can 
rival them in brilliant colors. The seed is fine 
and should be scattered thinly in the place 
where the plants are wanted to bloom, as they 
do not transplant well. Height, 2 feet. Sow 
the annual sorts in April and the perennial 
kinds June to September.

single blooms. An improved Flanders Poppy.

PETUNIAS Annual 
For solid beds of color, borders and edging, 
vases and porch-boxes, in fact, for every pur- 
pose, the Petunias are surpassed by few if any 
of the easily grown garden annuals. They 
come into bloom early and continue to flower 
profusely all summer long, thriving on poor 
soil and in the hottest weather. Sow the seed 
in April or May, scattering it thinly on fine 
sifted soil and, instead of covering it, press it 
firmly into contact with the earth with a 
smooth board. When the seedlings are about 
2 inches high, transplant them to the place 
where you want them to bloom. For extra- 
early flowers, start seed indoors in March or 
April.
