PANSY 



For early outdoor bedding the seed is sown in August or September in a coldframe, setting the plants 2 to 3 inches apart each way. In 

 the spring three-quarters of them can be lifted out for bedding and the rest left to bloom in the frame, covering the blooming plants \vith 

 sash and covering this in severe weather, but giving plenty of fresh air on mild days. The spring sowing should be made early. Seed 

 sown in a cool, moist place in June will give flowering plants for fall. If they come into bloom in the heat of summer, the flowers will be 

 small, but. as the weather becomes cooler, they increase in size and beauty. Early fall sowings give the finest flowers. 



I pay especial attention to Pansies, securing the best seed it is possible to obtain. Ask for leaflet on Pansy Culture.
