PLANTING PANSY SEEDS. 



When should I sow pansy seeds to 

 have them come in bloom in April in 

 coldframes, and how should they Lc; 

 treated from time of sowing seed? { 

 live in West Virginia. G. C. H. 



Seed in your latitude should be somu 

 early in August, either outdoors or under 

 lath protection in a coldframe. If out 

 doors, it will be advantageous to scatter 

 a light mulch of hay over the seed bed 

 until the seedlings have germinated. 

 Choose cool, moist weather for trans- 

 planting the seedlings. These can go 

 in beds four feet wide, or as some pro 

 fer, in nursery rows a foot apart and 

 two to three inches between the^plants. 

 If frames are at liberty-^you caja^ prick 

 off directly into them. Let the soil bo 

 well manured. They will require no sasli 

 protection until the ground freezes solid, 

 when a light coating of leaves will be; 

 sufficient. Place sashes over the plants 

 and remove the leaves the middle of 

 February to flower them at time named 

 in your state. Pansies, like violets, en- 

 joy abundant moisture at the root.

PRIMULAS FOR SEEDS. 



James Carter & Co., the English seeds- 

 men, are said to this season have flow- 

 ered 17,000'^^lants of Primula Sinensis 

 for seed. Each flower is artificially pol- 

 linated by means of a brush, and this 

 work is one of great importance in a 

 place where plants are especially culti- 

 vated for seed production. Althougli 

 early plants are the finest, those that 

 open their flowers later always give the 

 largest amount of seed. The firsf batcli 

 is sown about the end of June, but others 

 raised a month later, although they make 

 smaller plants, give much the best results 

 in seed production. Flowers that open 

 in March find brighter and drier condi- 

 tions than those that are in bloom, say, 

 about Christmas time. 



"It is curious in this matter of seed 

 production," says the Gardeners' Chron 

 iele, "how the varieties differ. The 

 beautiful Princess May variety, with its 

 enormous blooms of exquisite pink shade,, 

 is an example of a poor seeder. Large 

 batches of this plant are needed to en- 

 sure even a moderate supply of seeds. 

 From half the number of plants of sueli 

 a variety as Holborn Queen, a choice 

 white kind, a larger quantity of seed can 

 be gathered. The capsules remain on th( 

 plants until June, when they are gath 

 ered, placed in iDoxes, and thoroughly 

 dried in a warm greenhouse. It is after 

 wards a simple matter to break the seeil 

 vessels, and, after separating the larger 

 portions of the husk by means of a fine 

 sieve, to secure the well-ripened seeds. 

 It is interesting, in view of recent knowl 

 edge in plant-breedfiig, to know that h} 

 simply selecting and inbreeding, a va 

 riety can be fixed in a comparatively 

 short time. In some cases the progeny 

 comes true from seed after four or fewer 

 generations. ' '
