 PatlQV ^ hardy perennial but usually grown as an annual 

 ^^'*"J'» or biennial. The development of the present 

 Pansy from the old traditional Heart's- Ease of Shakespeare's 

 England is remarkable. At the present time there is al- 

 most an unlimited variety of shades, colors, and markings. 

 We list here two general classifications — -the Giant Trimardeau 

 mixture, which represents some of the very finest of its group, 

 and the Masterpiece mixture, which must be looked upon as 

 the last word in Pansy development. Seed may be sown in- 

 doors in the early spring or outdoors in May and trans- 

 planted when an inch high. These will bloom in June. 

 July-sown plants bloom in the fall; September-sown plants 

 the following spring. Slow growth, a shady situation, rich 

 soil, and plenty of moisture are desirable.
