PANICLE is a loose bunch of flowers, 

 as in the Oat (Ave'na) and London 

 Pride (Saxi'fraga). 



PANNING is forming a pan or basin 

 in the soil round the stem of a tree or 

 shrub, in which to pour water. 



PANSEY. Vio'la tri' color. The native 

 situation of the wild Pansey is generally 

 in fields of growing corn, where it is 

 partially shaded from the wind and 

 the heat of the midday sun. To grow 

 the Pansey for the purpose of exhi- 

 bition, the situation for the plants 

 should also be one sheltered from all 

 cutting winds, as these are very de- 

 structive, often injuring, and even 

 killing, the plants close to the soil, by 

 twisting them about. The situation 

 should be open to the free circulation 

 of the air, and exposed to the morning 

 sun, but protected from the full in- 

 fluence of the midday sun, which in- 

 jures the colour of the blooms. The 

 plants should be placed together in 

 beds made for the purpose. The situa- 

 tion should be cool and moist, but 

 thoroughly drained, for although the 

 Pansey requires considerable moisture 

 during the blooming season, and 

 through the summer months, yet it is
