 PERFECT PANSIES 



Pansies are too well known to require any description, dw 

 they are favoriir-s with all. For liest results you must start 

 with a good strain. The flnest Pansles are. as a rule, shy 

 seeders, which accounts for the difference 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 bhioming. as this allows 

 the plants to go Into winter In vigorous condition. Sow the 

 seeds In drills, covering them not mor^ than four times their 

 diameter and Arming the soli 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 some- 

 what the period of germination.
