 PANSIES 



Pansies must have a good, rich soil and plenty of moisture. For early 

 outdoor bedding the seed is sown in August or September in a coldframe, 

 setting the plants 2 or 3 inches apart each way. If sown in the spring, get 

 the seed in as early as possible so as to secure flowers during the early 

 rains. Seed sown in a cool place in May or June and welbwatered until up 

 will produce fall-flowering plants. To have good flowers, the plants must be 

 vigorous and make a rapid growth, as they will in rich, moist loam. Young 

 plants give the largest flowers. If the plants come into bloom in the heat 

 of summer, the flowers will be small at first; but, as the weather becomes 

 cooler, they will increase in size and beauty. They will flower better in 

 midsummer if planted where somewhat shaded from the hot sun, and 

 especially if furnished with a good supply of water, but in almost any 

 situation will give fine flowers in spring and autumn.
