HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA—FLOWER SEEDS 39 
DREER -SsPERFECT PANSIES 
Pansies are too well known to require any description, as they are favorites with all. For best results you must start with a good 
strain. The finest Pansies are, as arule, shy seeders, which accounts for the difference in the price of the various mixtures offered. 
About the middle of August is the best time for starting Pansy seeds for early spring blooming, as this allows the plants to go into 
winter in vigorous condition. Sow the seeds in drills, covering them not more than four times their diameter and firming the soil well 
above them. The seeds germinate in from eight to twelve days, and should not be allowed to dry out during this period. Covering the 
seed beds with newspapers will prevent this and hasten somewhat the period of germination.
