| Bee 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 prices of the various 
mixtures offered below. For spring flowering the seed should be sown in autumn and protected during the winter. For 
summer blooming sow seed in the spring, and plant out, if possible, in a cool spot where they will be afforded some shade from 
the noonday sun. Pansies do best in fresh soil, enriched with thoroughly decomposed manure.
