DREER'S PERFECT PANSIES. 



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 Ihe 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, cover- 

 ing thera 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.
