PANSY. (Viola Tricolor.) 
We makea specialty of Choice Pansy Seed, importing 
from more than twenty noted European growers. We 
contract annually with the finest raisers in the world, 
and for excellence and variety our seeds are unsurpassed. 
To grow the Pansy in finest perfection, the situation selected 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. Pansies delight in a cool, moist, well drained 
soil, enriched with decomposed barnyard manure. Seed may be 
sown in spring or fall, in shallow boxes, or frames; covering lightly. 
The young Beas should be transplanted when large enough, and 
never allowed to suffer from want of water.
