Sow lightly in fine loam, in a box or flower-pot, and trans- 

 plant when well up. Transplant several times before finally 

 transplanting out of doors. Pick off the first buds as soon 

 as they appear, and from early fall until the ground freezes 

 you will have the largest pansies possible to grow. Seeds 

 sown in a cool place in June, or later, and kept well watered 

 will produce fall flowering plants. Sow also in September 

 for winter flowering. The plants should always occupy a 

 cool, partially shaded situation, and the ground cannot be 

 too rich ; coolness and moisture are necessary.
