We ofifer seed of the best varieties of this highly esteemed

 tained from the mixed packets. Start early in March 

 in the house ; if no greenhouse is convenient a sunny 

 window wiU answer. Sow lightly in fine loam, in a 

 box or flower-pot, and transplant when well up. Trans- 

 plant 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 wa- 

 tered 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 moistirre 

 are necessary.
