 tion, as it is a favorite with all; the seed can be sown from Sep- 

 tember to March. The best plants are obtained from seed sown in 

 the autumn, and protected during winter; these flower early in the 

 spring. The plants from spring sowing should be planted in a 

 shady border; they produce fine large flowers in the autumn. 

 Pansies require fresh soil, enriched with decomposed manure; 

 hardy perennials ; 6 inches. Special directions for cultivation sent 

 with the seed when desired.
