DREER'S PERFECT PANSIES. 



Pansies are too well known m r>i|uiri- any descripiion, as Ihey are favorites wiili all. F ■ ■■ best results you must start 

 with a good strain. The finest Pansies are, as a rule, shy seeders, which accounts for the u fterence In the price of the 

 various mixtures offered. 



Pansy seeds may be sown any time in the autumn, the earlier the better, 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 tour 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.
