DREER'S PERFECT PANSIES 



Pansies are too well known to require any description, as they are favorit&s with all. For best results you must start 

 with a good strain. The finest Pansies are, as a rule, 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.
