HENRY A. DREER, PHILAD ELPHIA— FLOWER SEEDS 



DREER'S PERFECT PANSIES 



39 



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 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
