 the Pansy in finest perfection, the situation select- 

 ed should be sheltered from cutting winds, open to 

 the free circulation of air, exposed to the morning 

 sun but protected from the full influence of the 

 midday sun. They delight in a cool, moist, but 

 well-drained soil, enriched with decomposed barn- 

 yard manure. Seed may be sown in spring or fall, 

 m shallow boxes, or frames; covering lightly. 

 The young ])lants should be transplanted when 

 large' enough, and never allowed to suffer from 

 want of water. 



"We make a specialty of Choice Pansy 

 Seeds, importing from more than tw^enty 

 noted European grow^ers annually. Many ol 

 our strains are of unsurpassed merit.
