PANSY The Favorite Flower 



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' with 

 sash and covering this in severe weather but giving plentj' 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. Earlj- fall sowings give the finest flowers.
