PANSY | 
( Vzola Tricolor.) 
For many years choice Pansy Seeds have been a 
specialty with us. By repeated personal visits we have 
Yy Zz made ourselves familiar with the strains of the leading 
ed WY i ZA specialists in the several countries of Europe, with whom 
we contract yearly for seeds. We are thus enabled to 
offer the finest in existence. 
Pansies thrive best in a cool, moist, but well-drained 
soil, enriched with well-rotted barnyard manure or fine 
ground bone. Seeds sown in spring in a partially shaded 
situation will produce fine plants for autumn flowering. 
The finest blooms are to be obtained, however, by sowing 
in July or August, giving the plants protection during 
winter, when they will bloom profusely in the spring and 
summer.
